Night Wish: A Short Prequel to A Wish Upon Jasmine (La Vie en Roses)

The darkest hour is just before the dawn. But it’s in that darkest hour that you can best wish upon a star…

A struggling perfumer.

A ruthless moneyman.

Two strangers in the dark.

And the scent of happiness.

Scents are so volatile. But sometimes a hint of them clings long after to the skin…

Author’s Note: This short prequel (about 30 pages) to A Wish Upon Jasmine was written as a gift for readers who loved Jess and Damien in that book. The prequel started as a short story (“Be Careful What You Wish For”) which we originally made available on my website and through my newsletter, so if you subscribe to that you may have seen it. But I ended up continuing it, and it grew so long that we wanted to make an ebook available for ease of reading. In my own concept of the narrative arc, I recommend readers start with A Wish Upon Jasmine and return to this prequel if they love the characters and want more of them. But chronologically it occurs before A Wish Upon Jasmine, so of course you must make your own decisions! Happy reading, in any case.
