Ten Thousand Stitches
A housemaid needs some magical help when she falls for a high-society gentleman in this captivating historical fantasy full of wit, charm, and heart-fluttering romance.
Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with the dashing Mr. Benedict Ashbrooke. There’s only one problem: Effie is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help her win Mr. Ashbrooke’s heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten thousand stitches onto his favorite jacket.
Effie has heard rumors about what happens to those who accept magical bargains. But life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now she has one hundred days—and ten thousand stitches—to make Mr. Ashbrooke fall in love and propose…if Lord Blackthorn doesn’t wreck things by accident, that is. For Effie’s greatest obstacle might well be Lord Blackthorn’s overwhelmingly good intentions.

Cozy Pairings

Vanilla & Cashmere is a soft and luxurious fragrance that blends creamy vanilla with warm sandalwood, gentle musk, and smooth cashmere notes. Subtle and refined, this scent feels clean, comforting, and quietly indulgent. The warmth of vanilla is balanced by light woods and soft musk, creating a smooth, layered aroma that lingers beautifully without overpowering. It brings a sense of calm and ease to any space, like wrapping yourself in something soft at the end of the day.
Why we chose this: Three unconventional young women navigating a magical version of Regency England, each finding love in the most unexpected places: a cursed lady who feels no fear, a housemaid bargaining with a fae lord, a young magician defying everything society expects of her. Vanilla + Cashmere is the candle for every book in this series, soft and quietly indulgent, the scent of something refined and gentle with a little more depth than first appears. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood fill the room like a drawing room where the rules are about to be broken in the most charming way possible.
