"When two witches with a tangled history are forced to team up, it spells disaster in this steamy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn. It's the curse of every family's heir to be the responsible one. My family being the most powerful family in all of Witchingdom doesn't eliminate that fact, it only makes it worse-and that's why I, Leona Amber Sherwood, never do the unexpected. Except for that one time I did. Believe me, I have rued the day that I got married in a midnight ceremony under a full moon to Erik Svensen, the heir to my family's deepest, bitterest enemies, and now he won't agree to a divorce unless we return an ancient spell book to his family's secured facility. But on our road trip to return the book, I learn more about Erik as we encounter trolls, nymphs, satyrs, and more.

Any more time together will leave me even more enchanted with my husband and that's the last thing I want. And if I keep telling myself that, maybe I'll start to believe it"--

"On the surface, Marisa's life looks enviable. She lives in a beautiful apartment in the center of Madrid, she has a hot neighbor who is always around to sleep with her, and she's rapidly risen through the ranks at her advertising agency. And yet she's drowning in a dark hole of existential dread induced by the expectations of corporate life. Marisa hates her job and everyone at it. She spends her working hours locked in her office hiding from her coworkers, bingeing YouTube videos, and taking Valium. When she has the time, she escapes to her favorite museum where she contemplates the meaning of human life while staring at Hieronymus Bosch paintings, or trying to get hit by a car so she can go on disability.
