A black cat witch. A golden retriever wolf shifter. One fated match she’s determined to hex out of existence. Bellamy Grimsbane isn’t looking for love—or connections. She’s perfectly content hexing the locals, dabbling in dark magic, and hanging out with her snarky familiar, Nyx. But apparently, fate has terrible hearing. When a golden‑retriever wolf shifter rolls into Pumpkinridge wearing a shirt that says I’m new here—and smelling exactly like her sister warned her about—Bellamy does what any self‑respecting black cat witch would hexes, pranks, and just enough chaos to make him rethink his life choices. Welcome to Pumpkinridge, Vermont—a quaint little town where the coffee is strong, the gossip is stronger, and the local ghost considers herself a professional matchmaker. Here, curses are served with cream, love spells have side effects, and fate always finds a way… even if it has to trip you into it.
