The Wishing Game
Years ago, a reclusive mega-bestselling children’s author quit writing under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly he resurfaces with a brand-new book and a one-of-a-kind competition, offering a prize that will change the winner’s life in this absorbing and whimsical novel.
Make a wish. . . .
Lucy Hart knows better than anyone what it’s like to grow up without parents who loved her. In a childhood marked by neglect and loneliness, Lucy found her solace in books, namely the Clock Island series by Jack Masterson. Now a twenty-six-year-old teacher’s aide, she is able to share her love of reading with bright, young students, especially seven-year-old Christopher Lamb, who was left orphaned after the tragic death of his parents. Lucy would give anything to adopt Christopher, but even the idea of becoming a family seems like an impossible dream without proper funds and stability.
But be careful what you wish for. . . .
Just when Lucy is about to give up, Jack Masterson announces he’s finally written a new book. Even better, he’s holding a contest at his home on the real Clock Island, and Lucy is one of the four lucky contestants chosen to compete to win the one and only copy.
For Lucy, the chance of winning the most sought-after book in the world means everything to her and Christopher. But first she must contend with ruthless book collectors, wily opponents, and the distractingly handsome (and grumpy) Hugo Reese, the illustrator of the Clock Island books. Meanwhile, Jack “the Mastermind” Masterson is plotting the ultimate twist ending that could change all their lives forever.

Cozy Pairings
Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.
Why we chose this: Jack Masterson has resurfaced after years of mystery with a new book and a competition on the real Clock Island, and the prize is the kind of thing that changes a life. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, storied atmosphere of a world where old books hold extraordinary power and the past is never quite finished with you, the scent of a place full of history and character and unfinished chapters. Light this candle as Lucy steps onto Clock Island, and let the rich warmth of mahogany and oak fill the room like a reclusive author's home where every room has a secret and every secret matters.
