AN AMAZON EDITORS’ PICK: BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH IN ROMANCE
Love is a hex of a thing. Former childhood sweethearts fake a relationship in this charming, witchy romcom.
There’s nothing wrong with being a wallflower. Not to Emmaline Bluewater, anyway. Emma may have been born into witch society, but her days of trying to fit in where she doesn’t belong are over—they ended seven years ago, when the man she’d hoped to marry left town without a word. She’s much happier now, living a delightfully mundane human life in Chicago and running her bar, Toil and Trouble.
Until Bastian Truenote walks through the door and announces that he wants her back.
Bastian had his reasons for leaving—even if he can’t tell Emma what they are. Now, to win Emma’s heart, he’s got to face down an adorably goofy dog familiar, a best friend who’s all too eager to hit him with a carefully aimed hex, and a woman who’s far from the meek witch he remembers.
Magical contracts aren’t easily broken, but as far as Emma’s concerned, not even a marriage of convenience will have her falling under Bastian’s spell again…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this tongue-in-cheek paranormal rom-com, Morgan (Her Wish) draws readers into a world of magical mayhem. Emmaline "Emma" Bluewater and her best friend Bastian Truenote, both scions of powerful New Orleans witch families, were betrothed as children. Then Bastian ran out on Emma without explanation right before their wedding day. Seven years later, Emma has left witch society behind, moving to Chicago and opening a bar with her best friends. It's a good life—complete with a cute canine familiar—until Bastian walks into her bar, pulling her back into the magical world. He's discovered a "nasty side effect" to him breaking their enchanted engagement contract: the witnesses to the contract—their respective parents—will die prematurely if they do not get married. Bastian had good reason for leaving when he did, but he's still sorry he hurt Emma—even if he's not entirely sure he can trust her. Will their arranged marriage lead to real love? Though the pace occasionally lags, watching the endearingly awkward protagonists navigate witchy high society is a joy. This is sure to win Morgan some new fans.
