Dear Santa: Sirena Caraway’s Magical Holiday Wishes by Celestine Martin
Today’s letter comes from Sirena Caraway, the enchanting heroine of Deja Brew, the third and final book in Celestine Martin’s delightful Elemental Love series. If you’ve been craving cozy, whimsical romance with a side of spellbinding magic, this series is your perfect match. Deja Brew gives us second chances, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of pumpkin spice-flavored charm.
Now, let’s see what holiday magic Sirena is hoping Santa will bring to Freya Grove!
Dear Santa…
Greetings from Freya Grove from the Caraway-Alder-Dwyer-Dearworth family! Get out your pen and notebook because we have a lot of requests. We’ve been good this year (I think). The gnomes are wishing for a jumbo-sized pizza delivery on Christmas Eve, so please send the final order to Alex and Lucy’s house. I’m asking for the latest cast iron cookware set because I have to cook a huge holiday dinner. I’m feeling fancy and might make a nice bachelor stew! Witches love a good stew.
Gus needs a new carry-on bag for his next family reunion because he made his old luggage disappear into thin air—again. 🙂 Callie needs a planner for her brand-new food-delivering trolls business venture.
Ursula needs a new spider plant for her City Hall desk. Xavier needs a work apron so he doesn’t end up with wood chips on his outfit at Sunday dinner. If I’m missing anyone from this list, please send them joy, cheer, and a little glitter from us! Give the Missus Claus our best!
Wishes and kisses,
Sirena Caraway
