The Velvet Clover

A Christmas Romance

De: Aria Devi

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A magical, heart-wrenching holiday romance perfect for fans of Ashley Poston’s The Seven Year Slip, Evie Woods’ The Lost Bookshop, and The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Ava Hawthorne’s life is perfectly curated—career-driven, fiercely independent, and resolutely unromantic—until a breakup eight days before Christmas leaves her unexpectedly single and craving change. So, she does what any self-respecting woman would: books a ticket to New York, dodges her family’s pity, and chases a shiny new job at a centuries-old Irish atelier.

During her stay at the historic Fitzgerald Hotel, with its overdone Irish charm, a too-jolly mysterious bartender points her toward a velvet curtain. The catch? When Ava steps through, she finds herself in a speakeasy one hundred years in the past—in 1925, to be exact.

Ava swore never to give her power away to love, or let a man derail her ambitions again. But drawn back to the speakeasy night after night, she finds herself pulled into a connection with the enigmatic owner, Cillian, whose piercing eyes and infuriating calm make her want to both kiss him and throw a drink in his face. Their connection is as magnetic as it is impossible: Cillian belongs to 1925; she belongs to 2025.

As the Christmas lights of the city glow around her, Ava must face the fear she’s carried since childhood—that love only leads to loss. Because falling for Cillian means risking everything: her career, her control, and her heart on a love that—by all logic—was never supposed to happen.

Will Ava uncover the truth lurking within The Velvet Clover? Can she resist the allure of a past that threatens to consume her? When the lines between her reality and this shadowy world begin to blur, will she find the courage to choose her own path—or be lost to the secrets that bind her?

The Velvet Clover is a witty, magical, and unforgettable holiday time-slip romance about fate, family, and the risks we take for love.
