Handbag and Book blog with guest author Sadira Stone: Have you Explored San Francisco's Chinatown?

About the Handbag: 

My daughter bought me this handbag in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It’s not expensive, but I love the bright colors and the way it reminds me of our many visits to that funky neighborhood. We always stop for lunch in a fancy Chinese restaurant—sorry, I can’t find the name on Google Maps, but the place has elaborate décor, enormous chandeliers, and private rooms with carved wooden doors for privacy—the perfect setting for a spy movie or gangster flick. After that, we browse the tourist shops. 

Grant Street has everything you could want, from entertaining, schlocky souvenirs to fine linens, beautiful clothing, carved jade, jewelry, and cookware. If you’re ever in SF’s Chinatown, but sure to visit The Wok Shop, a small kitchen emporium stuffed floor to ceiling with pots, pans, knives, dishes, chopsticks…and woks, of course!

About the Book:

Christmas Rekindled is on sale for just 99¢ (ebook) during July!

When two Scrooges unite to save a bar in trouble, a kiss under the mistletoe sparks the sexiest Christmas miracle ever.

 

Bartender River Lundqvist has a damn good reason for hating Christmas. Bangers Tavern is the perfect place to lay low over the holidays—until Charlie walks in. His first encounter with the saucy server nine years ago was utter humiliation. Her reappearance stirs up powerful desires and hopes for a new start. But the timing is all wrong.

Back in Tacoma to care for her estranged dad over the holidays, freelance web designer Charlie Khoury braces herself for the suckiest Christmas ever. A temporary job at Bangers Tavern gives her a chance to escape Dad’s criticism and blow off some steam. But why does the hunky bartender seem to hate her?   

 

A pretend girlfriend is just what River needs to keep his family off his back—until a kiss under the mistletoe flares hot enough to melt the North Pole. When greedy developers threaten Bangers Tavern, River and Charlie must team up to save it. Their sizzling chemistry feels like the real thing—but everyone knows rebound relationships don’t last.

Come to Bangers Tavern for an enemies-to-lovers tale of reconciliation, found family, holiday cocktails, and the steamiest Christmas miracle ever.

 

 

About the Author:

Ever since her first kiss, Sadira’s been spinning steamy tales in her head. After leaving her

When not writing, which is seldom, she explores the Pacific Northwest with her charming husband, enjoys the local music scene, plays darts (pretty well), plays guitar (badly), and gobbles all the books.
