In Mistletoe and Magic by Katie Rose, Penelope Appleton and her sisters used to pose as spiritualist as they were in need of money. Her sisters may have been playing the part, but Penelope can actually see the future. Something that is nice but so very scary, for she has seen both the death and the happiness of others and she knows her sight to be true each and every time.
Now on the eve of her coming out at a Christmas ball, Penelope knows that she will meet her soul mate for she has seen it. Unfortunately, once they touch, she sees something else she foretells his death.
Jared Marton has known Penelope since one of her sisters married his friend, but before her coming out she was just a child to him. Now he sees the woman he wants to marry, and he must posses her body and soul. He does not stop his efforts to get close to her and they have the perfect dance, but right after she has a spell and leaves without another word to him.
Now Jared tries everything he can to win her heart and affections. But Penelope will not be easily persuaded to change her mind, for after her last vision she does not want to fall in love with Jared. For she knows that if she allows herself to love him it will destroy her when he dies.
There is a good romance with a lot of emotion and great story line. Penelope’s big heart and sweet ways will win you over and Jared’s determination will have you rooting for him to get his way. But fate has a surprise for them both that you have to read it to believe it.

In Katie Rose’s delightful eBook original novella set in Victorian New York City, a remarkable woman with the gift of second sight must learn to trust her visions while following her heart.
Blond, angelic Penelope Appleton possesses breathtaking looks—and a troublesome secret. She and her two charming—and newly married—sisters have inspired quite a following posing as spiritualists. However, unlike her clever sisters, Penelope actually does glimpse the future. On the eve of her coming out at a Christmas ball, Penelope sees a vision of a rakishly handsome dark-haired man who she knows is her destiny. But her premonition comes with a terrible price: She also foretells his death.
Jared Marton takes one look at Penelope and his fate is sealed. He must possess her, heart and soul, even if his efforts to get close to this ethereal beauty are thwarted by her determination to deny the magic between them . . . until a perfect kiss dissolves all barriers to sweet surrender. But when Jared discovers the burden she carries, a perfect love is challenged by the cold winds of fate.
