Life feels neat and tidy in Elise’s candle shop. But is it all about to go up in smoke? It’s business as usual at Morgan Candle Company and Elise couldn’t be happier or more excited for the year ahead. But when an unexpected opportunity falls into her lap that could drastically change her business, she can’t say no. Adding to complications, a blast from the past blows into town, and an old love is reignited. Can an old flame be lit again? Or will it end in disaster? With the clock ticking, on both her business and her love life, Elise feels the pressure rise and decisions must be made. She’d been willing to compromise in the past, but that’s not an option now. Her life has been flipped upside down, and then flipped again, and nothing feels the same. But is her new life what she wants? The Candle Shop of Wicks and Whimsy is the third installment of the Independent Heart series, but can be read as a standalone novel.
