Wishing for a Werewolf

One cozy fall festival + one magical mishap = one grumpy werewolf who’s now stuck with me… forever?

When I whisper my three secret desires to the wishing well, I never expect my magic to kick in and screw up epically! With one coin toss, I’m bound to Rune, the hunky werewolf who makes wishes at the same time.

Now people in my small town expect me to judge the pumpkin carving contest (have they met me? I don’t have an artistic bone in my body), while he gets to create the town’s hay maze (it’s not like I’ve tried to win that honor for years or anything). Worse? Everyone expects me to protect the town from mischievous fae (newsflash: so not my skill set) and begs him for handmade pumpkin spice latte soap (you got it—soap’s totally my thing).

The only way to untangle ourselves is to work together and make all our wishes come true.

Should be simple, right? Wrong. Because the third wish I made, the one that’s still secret? It’s to find true love. The more time I spend with Rune, the more his touch makes me melt, and an answering heat burns in his eyes. But are his feelings real or just another magical mix-up?

Cozy Pairings

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

Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.

Why we chose this: Magic flooded the small town of Ferndale Falls and turned the mayor and her friends into newbie witches overnight, and now there are pixie pranksters, walking tulips, shadow fae kings, werewolves, dragons, and werepanthers all finding their way into the chaos and into people's hearts. Witches Brew is the candle for every book in this series, earthy and softly magical, with the warm depth of patchouli and the gentle sweetness of violet that smells like a place where old magic has arrived uninvited and decided to stay. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth fill the room like a small town that woke up one morning entirely transformed and somehow, improbably, more itself than ever.
