Twelve years ago, Jules Savoie broke her own heart. The head of the New Orleans coven had good reasons for ending her relationship with the city’s vampire overlord, but that didn’t make the decision any easier. A woman in power must often make sacrifices to protect others.

They say time heals all wounds, but for Ruben Dubois, it has simply sharpened the pain. He knows one thing in his heart: Jules Savoie is his soulmate and he’s done waiting.

His certainty crystalizes when they once again find themselves working side by side, fighting for the werewolf cause. As Jules and Ruben campaign together at covens from New Orleans to London, their reignited spark burns hotter than ever before. But can this love withstand a malicious attack using black magic? Or will Ruben lose Jules again . . . this time, maybe for good?

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.
