Bookroo's summary

Charlotte Miller never believed in the curse on her family's woolen mill. But after her father's death, misfortune strikes: workers leave, debts rise, and her uncle pressures her. Enter Jack Spinner, a stranger with a magical offer to spin straw into gold for a price. As Charlotte navigates this dangerous bargain and a budding romance with the local banker, she must uncover the truth behind the curse to save her community. Will she unravel the mystery in time, or will the cost be too great?

From the publisher

Charlotte Miller has always scoffed at talk of a curse on her family’s woolen mill, which holds her beloved small town together. But after her father’s death, the bad luck piles up: departing workers, impossible debts, an overbearing uncle. Then a stranger named Jack Spinner offers a tempting proposition: He can turn straw into gold thread, for the small price of her mother’s ring. As Charlotte is drawn deeper into her bargains with Spinner-and a romance with the local banker-she must unravel the truth of the curse on the mill and save the community she’s always called home.
