Magical Midlife Invasion

Jessie is well on her way to learning her new life and settling in.

The tough alpha, Austin, has joined her team, and she has painstakingly learned to fly. At the moment, life couldn’t get any better. But it can get a whole lot…more irritating.

Her parents have decided to visit. They don’t know anything about magic, about Jessie’s new digs, or about the crazy crew living in and around Jessie’s house. She must do everything in her power to keep the truth away from them. Which would be much easier without the unfelt presence lurking within Ivy House’s borders.

It seems an enemy has figured out a way to magically bypass Ivy House’s defenses. Jessie is completely exposed.

The real battle, however, won’t be with the incoming force. It will be between Mr. Tom and Jessie’s mom, each intent on being the most helpful. Mr. Tom might have met his match, and he is not pleased.

Just when things were finally settling down, Jessie is in the thick of it again, and this time, the turmoil is all around her.

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: Ivy House is centuries old and full of gargoyles, shifters, and chaos, anchored by a grumpy alpha bartender and a crew that has never once stayed in line. From Jessie's first chaotic days discovering her magic to the battles and alliances and midlife awakenings that follow, this series has the layered, atmospheric energy of a place with a long history and more secrets than anyone has fully counted. Speakeasy is the candle for every book in this series, rich and complex, with a warmth that feels like stepping into somewhere that has been waiting for exactly you. Light this candle and let the smoky cardamom and dark chocolate fill the room like an evening at Ivy House, where the ordinary and the extraordinary have long since stopped being distinguishable.
