Spellbound and Gagged

One potion, two herbologists, and a greenhouse full of meddling magical plants... Professor Juno Runeheart's thriving career at Grimm Mawr Academy is thrown into chaos when her ex-boyfriend Thaddeus Shadowspire returns to claim the herbology department head position she's worked five years to earn. Her nurturing approach to magical plants is the complete opposite of his rigid defensive techniques—just like their explosive breakup was the opposite of their passionate romance. Now they're competing for the same job, and Juno is determined to prove her methods superior. But when a series of magical mishaps turns her skin green, makes her speak in rhymes, and transforms Thaddeus into catnip for amorous plants, they reluctantly join forces to find the culprit. The shocking truth? The academy's magical flora have decided these two stubborn professors belong together, and they're willing to use every leaf, stem, and tendril to make it happen. With Brewfest competition approaching and their careers on the line, Juno and Thaddeus must navigate sabotaged potions, truth serum incidents, and a very persistent matchmaking vine—all while trying desperately not to fall back in love. Too bad their hearts (and a greenhouse full of botanical conspirators) have other plans. "A delightful magical romp that will leave you laughing out loud and swooning in equal measure. Jamie K. Schmidt crafts an enchanting world where plants have personalities and love blooms in the most unexpected places."
