Starlit & Spellbound
Just in time for pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters, we have a collection of romance stories infused with fall vibes and a bit of magic.
Starlit & Spellbound brings together ten romantic tales spanning across multiple categories, including paranormal and contemporary romance, romantasy, science-fiction romance, new adult, and later-in-life love, with everything from witches, ghosts, fate, curses, and enchanted worlds to alien lovers, magic, and even quantum physics.
Some stories are light and playful, others adventurous, emotional, or a little darker, but they all explore the magic and mystique of falling in love.
Featuring "The Cuffing Curse"
When a skeptical grad student gets convinced to attempt a love spell on her longtime crush, she accidentally gets magically “cuffed” to her little brother’s infuriating best friend instead. Now Sadie and former hockey golden boy John Cooper are stuck sharing a supernatural bond and a bed until the first frost. As the fall deepens alongside their connection, the harder it becomes to tell where the curse ends and real feelings begin.
