Bridesmaids and Broomsticks

Hazel Lark’s life is low drama, controlled magic, and absolutely no romance—just the way she likes it. As a witch who knows exactly how messy feelings can get, she prefers her wards strong and her heart well-protected. That is, until her coven encourages her to become a bridesmaid in her best friend Lena’s wedding. It should be simple—what could go wrong? Well, her ex is the best man.

Wyatt Beaumont is laid-back, charming, and surprisingly grounded for a man who is looking for an escape of his own. Being forced into a political marriage by his family was not in his five-year plan, and he’s anything but excited over the ordeal. What he needs is a distraction, preferably entertaining.

After a disastrous miscommunication, Hazel is on the hunt for a hot date to the wedding. And Wyatt? Pretending to be Hazel’s boyfriend for a few weeks is just the distraction he needs. But between charged glances, flirty banter, pre-wedding rituals, and Hazel’s antagonistic ex doing his best to stir trouble, pretending starts to feel dangerously convincing. As lines blur and walls come down, Hazel and Wyatt must decide whether they’re just playing a clever game—or risking something neither of them planned to give away.
