Getting magically married to a grumpy spell-scribe wasn’t part of the plan. Unfortunately, neither was falling for him.

Familiar-for-hire Jinx Moss just wanted to pass her Ministry licensing exam, not trigger a long-forgotten magical contract. Now she’s magically—and accidentally—bound to Thorne Blackmoor, the coldest, most insufferably by-the-book spell-scribe in the entire coven. The only way to undo the bond? Complete a series of impossible compatibility trials… together.

Thorne has spent his life avoiding emotional entanglements. So naturally, he ends up magically shackled to a chaos-summoning familiar who sheds glitter when stressed and talks to enchanted teapots. Worse, the trials they’ve been assigned aren’t standard—they’re ancient, dangerous, and tied to a Vault that hasn’t opened in seventy years.

As the bond deepens and the trials grow stranger, Jinx and Thorne will have to navigate magical bureaucracy, meddling house spirits, and some very opinionated magical furniture. But the biggest challenge might be admitting that the bond they never wanted… might be exactly what they need.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, magical mishaps, and slow-burn romance with heart.
