Love Spells: And Other Non-Refundable Magic

What happens when a love spell works in a way you never intended? In Maria Rigou’s Love Spells: And Other Non-Refundable Magic, one impulsive purchase sets off a charming chain of romantic complications. After drunkenly buying a love spell from an online witch, Merryweather Hawthorne is surprised when her nepobaby CEO suddenly asks her out. Worried that the spell has interfered with her life, she contacts The Third Fairy to ask for her money back. Unfortunately, the shop has a strict no-refunds policy. Instead, its owner offers her a different solution: a series of rituals, challenges, and small acts of courage intended to help reverse the spell. The person behind The Third Fairy is Flora Ramos, who never expected her online shop to become anything more than a side project. She does not believe in soulmates or magical guarantees of happily-ever-after. Yet Merryweather’s repeated messages gradually become something Flora looks forward to. Their correspondence grows more intimate, while Merryweather also finds herself drawn to a coffee-shop barista whose quiet presence makes her feel understood. As the seasons change, the women must navigate attraction, uncertainty, and the possibility that the connections they make may matter more than the spell that started everything. Blending contemporary romance with a playful magical premise, the novel explores choice, emotional honesty, unexpected connection, and the difference between wishing for love and allowing it to happen. It is suited to adult readers who enjoy sapphic romance, light magical elements, contemporary relationship stories, and romantic complications with a humorous touch.
