Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure.  When she hears that Finvarra's Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand,  sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic-even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. 

Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies.

Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?

A Touch of Magic by Sarel303

"Usually innocents like you have time to grow into their magic before they have to break the rules. You don't have that time, Minta. Please believe me, you need to be ready. I'm risking everything to make you ready." I stopped and searched his eyes for further explanation, and there was a near moment of clarity before Edgar looked away, releasing me gently. "Risk what, Edgar?" A Touch of Magic... Minta has a choice; she can turn away from magic or embrace it. Desperate for a destiny, it's a no brainer. Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandra

"I think you're made up of some magic, some chaos and a little bit of poetry and that's a beautiful combination. That's why I like you. " "I'm starting to believe you." "Good. You should, because I believe in you. You're going to overcome this and I'll be right by your side when you do." Reign Gallagher had a tendency to live between the pages of books. If it wasn't for her two crazy best friends Lorelei and Micaela, her high school experience would leave no story to tell. After a crazy visit to the carnival leaves Reign cursed by a sorceress posing as a psychic, she and her friends set out on an adventure of a lifetime with some unexpected help along the way to try and break the curse. Friendships grow stronger, memories are made and perhaps romance can find its way into the girl's hearts. Turns out that we don't need a fairy-tale, just a little magic in our lives. This story was co written with @Tumi771. Don't forget to give her some love.
