The youngest Hawthorne just met the woman of her dreams—too bad she’s a demon sent to steal her magic.
Six months after the latest attack on the Moonlit Tavern, Laurel Hawthorne is left in charge. With the weight of the family business on her shoulders and the looming threat of another attack, she's never been more alone. That ends when a dangerous stranger steps in to break up a bar fight, and Laurel has found her hero.
Or so she thinks.
But Nerissa is no hero. She's bound by a soul contract, and her only hope for freedom is to steal the Hawthorne witches’ most powerful weapon: their magic.
What starts as a deception ignites into irresistible forbidden desire. But if Laurel chooses love, she risks her family’s safety. And if Nerissa chooses her heart, she’ll lose her freedom forever.
A cozy sapphic paranormal romance full of magic, tea, forbidden love, and deadly bargains—perfect for fans of Charmed, Practical Magic, and Gilmore Girls.
