The Spellshop Dating Contract
A Cozy Fantasy Romance

About this book:

Clementine Hawthorne has thirty days to come up with four hundred and fifty gold sovereigns—or lose the dusty, dragon-leather-bound, three-generation legacy of Hawthorne Arcana to the sleek, lemon-scented corporate witchery of *The Arcane Emporium* across the street. Her only lifeline? A fake-dating contract with the infuriatingly handsome, impeccably tailored proprietor trying to buy her out. Julian Thorn needs a respectable magical partner to secure a high-society merger; Clementine needs his deep pockets to save her shop. The terms are simple: public dates, zero feelings, and absolutely no hexing each other’s inventory. But the fine print never accounts for tea-leaf readings that whisper truth, midnight research sessions that feel like dates, or the way Julian’s arrogance melts when he thinks she isn't looking.

Between grimoires that bite, a toad familiar with better financial instincts than the Guild, and a rivalry that sparks hotter than a botched fire charm, Clementine and Julian are rewriting the rules of engagement one stolen glance at a time. But when a misplaced hex exposes the real reason Julian walked through her door, the contract shatters—and Clementine must decide if the shop she inherited is worth more than the man who came to claim it.

*The Spellshop Dating Contract* is a cozy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance brimming with sentient books, small-town charm, and a slow-burn that proves the most powerful magic isn't found in any spellbook—it's written in the margins.
