Don't Hex and Drive

Opposites attract amidst magic and mystery in this addictive paranormal romance between a quiet witch and a magnetic celebrity vampire, the second entry in Juliette Cross’s addictive Stay a Spell series.

Isadora Savoie is not a people person. Content to remain in the background of the Savoie sister shenanigans, she spends most of her time in the greenhouse or at the local animal shelter, using her Conduit powers of growth and healing. But when neighborhood girls start disappearing, she’s reluctantly roped into the mystery, partnered with a flashy, flirty vampire to find them before it’s too late.

Devraj Kumar has seen and done it all. Three hundred years roaming the earth as a Stygorn—a legendary vampire warrior who operates in the shadows—has its perks. But ennui has set in. That is, until he has a run-in—literally—with an intriguing witch while on a new assignment in New Orleans. Fortunately for him, she’s been recruited by the Lord of Vampires to assist Devraj on the case.

Between a Bollywood marathon, supernatural dating app, secret package, and sexy driving instruction, Isadora is in over her head.

And Devraj? After just one taste, he’s playing for keeps.

The second book in the Stay a Spell series by Juliette Cross, Don’t Hex and Drive is a steamy, opposites attract romance set in a beguiling world of witches, vampire romance, and everlasting love. This irresistible paranormal romance series following the intertwining lives of a New Orleans coven is perfect for fans of Jessica Clare books, The Ex Hex, and other witch romance books.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Speakeasy

Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.

Why we chose this: Six siblings in a New Orleans witch coven, each finding love with a werewolf, a vampire, another werewolf, a grim reaper, a vampire overlord, and a necromancer: the Stay a Spell series is atmospheric and warm and deeply rooted in a magical version of New Orleans that feels entirely alive. Speakeasy is the candle for every book in this series, rich with smoky cardamom and the deep warmth of dark chocolate and palo santo, the scent of a French Quarter evening where the magic is strong and the love stories are stronger. Light this candle and let the layered, slightly intoxicating warmth fill the room like a New Orleans night when the music is coming from everywhere and something wonderful is about to happen.
