A cozy romantasy full of charm, coffee, and unexpected sparks. Fake dating a grumpy shadowmancer wasn't part of the business plan...and neither was falling in love. Three days after hexing her ex's underwear drawer, Clove Morelli returns to the magical town of Willowmere with nothing but her grimoire, her sassy feline familiar, and a dream she's finally ready to chase: opening her very own enchanted coffee shop. The only problem? The charming old café she buys comes with a surprise tenant in the upstairs apartment-Thorne, a handsome and mysterious shadowmancer with scars, secrets, and no intention of moving out. But when her ex suddenly shows up in town, Clove blurts out a desperate lie: she's already moved on...with Thorne. Much to her shock, the reclusive mage agrees to play along-on one condition: he gets to stay in the apartment, rent-free. Thorne goes above and beyond; working in her shop, taking her on a date to the pumpkin patch, and helping her develop new drinks for the upcoming Halloween Masquerade Ball. But as sparks fly between them over pumpkin-spiced lattes and shadow-drenched secrets, Clove begins to wonder if their fake romance might just be becoming all too real. Perfect for fans of small-town magic, grumpy-sunshine couples, and cozy vibes, Magic & Mochas is a heartwarming standalone novella full of charm, wit, and witchy wonder.
