A BRAND NEW feel-good romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod, TOP TEN BESTSELLING author of The Fixer Upper ?? She's looking for writing inspiration, but she may just find Mr Right... Laura Spalding has life all worked out: a flourishing writing career, a lovely home, a cute dog, and a handsome boyfriend Angus. Then, plot twist, Angus walks out, leaving Laura with sole charge of Meg the dog, and a serious case of writer's block. With the deadline on her latest novel looming, Laura gives in to her agent’s suggestion that she go on a writer’s retreat. Perhaps two weeks in the South of France will help her find inspiration again? But when Laura arrives in the idyllic village of St-Antonin-Noble-Val, she’s surprised to discover the other guests are less than thrilled to have a published author in their mix. Only non-writer Finn is willing to give her the time of day, and they immediately become close. And, incredibly, Laura finds she can write again.

After a devastating breakup, instead of drowning in her tears, Amelia Day starts a new business. For a hefty fee, she uses the methods for training foster dogs to transform men into suitable marriage material. Her track record is impeccable until she meets perpetual bachelor Phin Baxtor. From the start, she’s confused as to why this guitar-playing hunk would even want to hire her, but she needs the money, so she takes him on. Phin is content with working in his food truck all day and playing the field at night. But his business partner, Jay, offers him a bet he can’t refuse. If Phin can complete Amelia’s program without changing his ways, he will win Jay’s rare guitar. Certain his task will be easier than playing "Hound Dog," he agrees to enter the program. With Phin and Amelia spending all their time together, her techniques begin to slip past his defenses. He might become her biggest success, but falling for a client isn’t supposed to be part of the deal.

He’s a no-nonsense businessman. She’s a free-spirited baker. But the magical building they live in seems to think they’re a perfect match… When billionaire Archer Gaines needs to escape his father’s corrupt shadow and a related scandal, he purchases The Serendipity, a historic apartment building far from New York City. He believes in bottom lines and big business deals, definitely not in the local folklore surrounding the town of Serendipity Springs. So he’s eager to move forward with plans to flip the building into luxury lofts. But The Serendipity doesn’t particularly care what Archer believes, and the building has plans of its own. Willa never believed in the rumors about her “magical” building. But that was before she walked into her closet looking for a sweater and found herself in another apartment altogether--in the penthouse closet of the grumpy and unfortunately attractive new building owner. This is less of a meet cute than a meet ugly, and things only go downhill from there. When Archer announces sweeping changes that include a rent increase, he becomes public enemy number one for the residents. And by charging Willa for use of the commercial kitchen, he puts her fledgling baking business at risk. With his progress being (magically) blocked at every turn, Archer grows desperate for help. But the bewitching woman he found hiding in his closet seems to present both the answer and a larger problem: because Archer never planned to fall in love or stay in Serendipity Springs forever … The Serendipity is a standalone book in the Only Magic in the Building series. These closed door, whimsical romance books are all set in the same historic building, which has a habit of playing matchmaker with its residents. There are light magical elements, but no spells, shifters, or dark magic of any kind.
