One Enchanted Season
A magical collection of Holiday Romance
Step into a world where the nights are long, snowflakes sparkle like fairy lights, and the hearth fires burn as brightly as the passion of new-found love as three bestselling and critically acclaimed authors of paranormal romance weave stories inspired by classic holiday songs.
In C.L. Wilson’s Upon a Midnight, an angel helps a troubled woman heal the wounds of her past so her soul can relearn how to sing.
Erica Ridley delivers magic with Let It Snow, in which a treasure hunter breaches an enchanted castle only to become trapped inside with a cursed princess and a suspicious tree.
And in Snowman, Elissa Wilds weaves a tale of love that bridges two very different worlds, when a snowy stranger appears at an isolated mountain cabin seeking much more than a shelter from the storm.
This book is no longer available. I will be looking into making my novella available as a solo purchase or a new anthology.

About One Enchanted Season
ONE ENCHANTED SEASON is an anthology of magical holiday novellas written by me and two dear friends, Elissa Wilds and Erica Ridley. This project is something we dreamed up at a writer's weekend a couple of years ago, and I'm super excited about it. Erica's contribution is hilarious and touching and just a delight to read. Elissa's (who is like my spiritual soul-sister, we think so alike in so many things) is sexy and mystical, and will hopefully be the first of many stories about the keepers of the Crystal Skulls Besides providing me the pleasure of working with two wonderful friends whom I adore, this book also marks three significant firsts for me:
It's my very first published contemporary romance (and, boy, did I have fun writing it!),
It's my very first published novella (and, wordy me, I pushed right up to the maximum wordcount allowed before my story ceased being a novella and became an actual novel), and
It's my very first foray into self-publishing, something I've been wanting to try ever since ereaders and ereader apps became readily available. The book is currently available in both digital and trade paperback editions.
What Reviewers are saying
"a story of healing, with a beautiful romance, as well as having dark elements. Very nicely done." ~ The Reading Café on Upon a Midnight, C.L. Wilson's novella in One Enchanted Season
"C.L. Wilson's imagination is right up there with the best in the business. This uplifting story is streaked with darkness, written in her beautifully lyrical voice, and is very different from her Fading Lands series, showing her versatility. It's the perfect holiday story." The Good, The Bad & The Unread on Upon a Midnight, C.L. Wilson's ...
