Hex, Lies, and Duct Tape

Urban Fantasy – Romantic Comedy – Workplace Fantasy Amanda Knight has terrible luck. Not the "forgot my umbrella" kind. The kind that makes enchanted staplers bite, magical wards short-circuit, and reality itself buckle within three feet of her. Unfortunately, Amanda works as a receptionist on the most dangerous floor of Vane & Blackwood Hex Risk Management—a prestigious magical corporation where wealthy clients pay fortunes to have deadly curses removed. Then a Class-A doom-curse chooses Amanda as its new host. And the only thing keeping it from destroying her is Ian Graham, Vane & Blackwood's brilliant lead curse-breaker, a perfectionist who treats magic like mathematics, germs like warfare, and physical contact like a federal offense. When Ian discovers that his flawless magical order and Amanda's catastrophic chaos create a strange zero-point effect, the solution becomes painfully obvious: They have to stay close. Very close. But the deeper they dig into the curse, the clearer it becomes that Amanda's "bad luck" may not be bad luck at all. Someone built Vane & Blackwood's entire system around exploiting people like her—and the corporation will do anything to keep its secrets buried. Now a chaos-powered receptionist and a touch-averse curse-breaker are going to have to survive deadly hexes, corporate assassinations, magical bureaucracy, and a hostile takeover. Armed with precision magic, questionable workplace ethics, and an alarming amount of duct tape, Amanda and Ian might just be the most dysfunctional—and perfectly matched—curse-breaking team in the city. If you love urban fantasy romance, paranormal romantic comedy, opposites-attract couples, forced proximity, witty banter, magical workplaces, and a little corporate chaos, this is one curse you'll want to catch.
