The afterlife’s sassiest spirit guide is about to slay Paris. All she has to do is wrangle a few wayward souls—including her own.
Fresh off a solo incarnation where she mastered independence a little too well, spirit guide Pearly Gates is trying to follow the rules—or at least appear like she is. But when her first official charges—a prickly retiree, a guilt-ridden widower with a closeted grandson, and a young woman for whom romance has never quite clicked—hit a spiritual dead end, Pearly makes a bold move. She nudges them into a group tour of the City of Love… then tags along in disguise.
Her boss is not amused. The deal? If Pearly can raise their spiritual vibes by the end of the trip, she wins the freedom to guide her way. If not, she'll get transferred to a cosmic wasteland. No pressure.
From midnight snacks to museum flirtations, moonlit magic to midlife makeovers, Pearly’s meddling sparks transformations she never expected. And when her ex-soulmate, Thunder, signs on as their tour guide—hoping to reconnect—she’s forced to reconsider the walls she’s built around her own heart. Can they finally break their old patterns, or are they doomed to repeat history all over again?
Set in present-day Paris, The Midnight Croissant is a warm, inclusive fantasy celebrating love in all its forms—full of found family, fresh starts, and the magic of showing up as your fabulous, flawed self.
The Good Place meets Amélie—with glitter.
This book sparkles as a standalone, while also continuing the Pearly Gates series.
