A Clause for Paws
(2025)(The second book in the Hollybright Hollow Holidays series)
A Story by Wynn Valentine
When your enchanted yarn creatures stage a full-scale library mutiny, you either hide under the circulation desk… or confess everything to the grumpiest cat shifter in town.
Birdie Ashford has one goal this Winter Solstice: prove her magical knitting isn’t ‘too much,’ ''too chaotic,’ or ‘too elaborate’ for anyone—especially her practical, tidy parents. But the moment she steps inside Hollybright Hollow’s beloved library, her enchantments come alive in spectacularly unhelpful ways. Bookmarks flee. Scarves develop opinions. The snowflakes unionize. And all of it happens under the watchful, horrified gaze of Owen Fletcher, the rule-bound head librarian with a Dewey Decimal tattooed on his soul.
Owen has spent ten years shaping the library into a sanctuary of order, silence, and perfect alignment. Birdie arrives like a color-wheel tornado, scattering yarn, disrupting systems, and awakening every protective feline instinct he owns. She is everything he avoids: unpredictable, exuberant, impossible not to notice.
But when her magic misfires into a town-wide spectacle—and her parents arrive early, ready to declare her chaos a liability—Owen does something no one expects: he defends her. With statistics. With conviction. And with a growing tenderness he can’t seem to classify or contain.
As the festival deadline looms, Birdie and Owen must bring structure and magic together to build the impossible: a three-story enchanted Library Tree that reflects the heart of the Hollow… and maybe their hearts, too.
She brings the wonder.
He brings the order.
Together, they might just create something extraordinary.
A closed-door paranormal romance full of yarn sprites, found family warmth, cozy magic, and a slow-burn love story between a sunshine craft witch and the anxious cat shifter who finally learns that a little chaos can be beautiful.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
