Best Hex Ever

'As comforting as a mug of hot chocolate on a cold autumn night, and just as sweet. Pure magic.' JENNA LEVINE 'A spicy, spell-binding debut that is as swoony as it is sweet. This book is a cottagecore romcom of magical proportions.' LANA FERGUSON 'A fabulous, very sexy novel, with the sort of hex we'd all be delighted to enjoy.' KATE JOHNSON 'A romance baked full of coziness, witchy vibes, family, and steaming with sexual tension, wrapped into a hug of a booK' MAE BENNETT __________ A cosy and spicy spellbinding fantasy romance, about a kitchen witch cursed to hurt anyone who falls for her. Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches Dina Whitlock knows her way around a pastry recipe. As a skilled kitchen witch, she runs her very own London café, serving magic-infused pastries to her loyal customers. But only a select few friends know about her magical abilities or the hex that has plagued her love life. It's hard to fall in love when your partner is guaranteed to have a string of bad luck. Scott Mason is back from traveling the world and is excited to begin his new job as a curator at the British Museum. After leaving London to heal from a brutal breakup two years ago, Scott only now realizes how much he missed out on. Now that his best friend's wedding is right around the corner, Scott is determined to be the most amazing best man ever, but he doesn't expect to be bewitched by the maid of honour, who also happens to be the owner of his new favourite café and, perhaps more surprisingly, a witch. After a weekend in the countryside full of peculiar hedge mazes, palm readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there's no denying the chemistry between them. But there's just one problem: The hex still holds, and Dina knows that Scott is in danger. Can Dina break the spell before it breaks both their hearts? __________ PRAISE FOR BEST HEX EVER 'With its big heart and message of self-acceptance, this book is like curling up under a quilt on a chilly day, and I'm excited to see what El-Fassi writes next.'
