A globetrotting do-gooder home for the holidays walks into his bar and walks out with his heart.

Dash Nichols is more jaded than jolly this Christmas. Against his better judgment, he volunteers to work the Friday shift at the bar. Just when Dash can't handle the onslaught of holiday cheer anymore, in strolls an impossible-to-ignore woman wearing a delightfully absurd hat.

Lina Schultz is nobody's girl, footloose and fancy-free. Her merry flirtation with the bartender at her sister's bachelorette party sparks the tempting idea of a naughty fling. But their meet cute takes a wrong turn, leaving Lina red-faced and too embarrassed to take the next step.

Dash resolves to show her that their initial mishap is a minor setback to a romance written in the stars. Lina hesitates to embrace the magic of the season, torn between the allure of a second chance and her impending departure after New Year's.

Can Dash convince Lina to believe, or will their shot at love vanish with the old year?

Magic and Mint Martinis is a sweet-with-heat contemporary fantasy holiday romcom. Experience the warmth of the season, the joy of taking chances, and the transformative power of love with Emily Michel's enchanting story.
