Potions & Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune will be gruesomely murdered at the ball.
Mina’s excited to attend the annual Argleton Jane Austen Experience at the stately Baddesley Hall. It’s just what she needs after all the recent murders – a whole weekend of dancing with Morrie, attending poetry readings with Quoth, and helping Heathcliff field marriage proposals from adoring fans.
But murder and intrigue follow Mina everywhere. When an eminent Austen scholar is run through with his own sword, Mina and her boys must solve the mystery before the killer claims another victim.
The Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries are what you get when all your book boyfriends come to life. New from USA Today bestselling author Steffanie Holmes, this book bursts with petticoats and plots, steamy scenes and scandalous liaisons, manners and mystery, magical books and time-traveling rooms, and a healthy dose of Jane Austen humor. Read on only if you believe one hot book hero isn’t enough!

Cozy Pairings
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: A cursed bookshop is bringing fictional villains to life, Heathcliff is grumpy and tattooed and six feet four, Moriarty is sophisticated and evasive, and somehow Mina is both the prime suspect in a murder and the only one who can solve it. From banned book clubs turning murderous to Shakespeare festivals gone deadly to a writers' retreat where someone ends up killed by their own pen, the mysteries never stop coming and neither does the chemistry. Speakeasy is the candle for every book in this series, rich with smoky cardamom and dark chocolate and the deep warmth of palo santo and vanilla, a scent as layered and atmospheric as Nevermore itself. Light this candle and let the complex, slightly forbidden warmth fill the room like a bookshop where the stories have decided they are no longer content to stay on the shelves.
