Small Town Christmas

2014

USA Today Bestselling Author Magdalena Scott invites you to… “Come to Serendipity, and believe in the magic of Love.” Melissa is moving back to Serendipity, Indiana to raise her young son and run her new business in spite of her own painful childhood, and the fact that the man who broke her heart years ago still lives in their hometown. With his dad's death, the work of the family Christmas tree farm has fallen to Jim Standish. But how can he hold everything together for the sake of his grieving family, when his own secrets are pulling him apart? When a new tragedy puts Melissa and her son in closer contact with the Standish family, ignoring the past is no longer an option. Everyone involved will have to move forward—but how? This is a wholesome, heartwarming story about second chances: facing difficulties of the past and not only moving on, but becoming stronger because of them. It's about "coincidences" in life that may be more than that. A sweet little boy, and a delightful touch of Christmas magic make Small Town Christmas a story that ends on a sigh!

2016

Happily-ever-after is out of the question. But in Serendipity, the Magic of Love does amazing things. Carla Standish makes wishes come true, for everyone but herself. She is the go-to person for whatever her friends and family need, and is world renowned for creating one-of-a-kind, swoon worthy dresses. She’s even surprising herself and the folks in town by dating a decent guy these days. If one missing piece would fall into the jigsaw puzzle of her life, everything would be perfect. But she ruined that possibility long ago, didn’t she? It’s been a couple of years since widower Jared Barnett and his kids moved to Serendipity for a much-needed new start. They were settling in, but now he’s getting some confusing signals from the vivacious shop owner he’s dating, and the small town “good old boy” network seems determined to treat the Barnetts as outsiders.

Once Upon a Time

2017

Taylor Kincaid has big plans for her post-college life. Falling in love with the mysterious new shop owner in her hometown isn't one of them. You may have met Taylor (and her twin, Hannah) in book #2, EMILY'S DREAMS. Now the twins have graduated college and are ready to leave Serendipity forever... The only problem is an absence of jobs in their field. They decide to move back to Serendipity temporarily, living with their parents again, and taking a little sabbatical from all the hard work (and partying) of college. But Marcus Kincaid has different expectations of his daughters. The free ride is at an end, and they have to get jobs in Serendipity if they expect to live at home. Hannah accidentally volunteers to work at the Standish Family Christmas Tree Farm with their sister Emily (Kincaid) Standish. But Taylor will float resumes in the little town, and find a job that will help pad her bank account, and be easy to leave when the right employment opportunity comes along. It was a great plan, until she stepped into the antiques shop on the town square, and met its handsome, enigmatic new owner. Now leaving may be more complicated than staying.
