Bewitched & Bewildered

The small town vibe of Gilmore Girls meets the magic of Charmed in this cozy witch romance!

Juniper Hawthorne hates Ozan Demir. So, when he returns to Starbrook and opens an apothecary right down the street from her old family apothecary, she does the only reasonable thing. She reopens her shop just to beat him.

They've been rivals since high school, and a decade later, nothing has changed. But after an aphrodisiac potion spill... it gets a lot harder to keep hating him.

Juniper thought she was doing the right thing after her mother's passing, closing her mother's shop and working hard to take care of her younger sisters. But when she's fired from yet another job, reopening is her only option.

Ozan is back in town, fresh off a messy divorce, and he's ready to open his dream business. Until Juniper turns it into a competition.

They fight for customers, space, and the attraction that neither is ready to face. Suddenly, their rivalry is more tempting than tense.

Join Juniper and Ozan in Starbrook as they find their way and find love in this witchy romantic comedy.
