Smoke, Mirrors, & Misdemeanours

Mystic Misfits: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Her currency is sugar and spice. He asks for a scandalous price.

Aura Cassia is a Kitchen Witch with no lineage, a modest bakery, and an orphanage full of mixed-blood children about to be homeless. When a ruthless property magnate sets his sights on demolishing her sanctuary, Cassia storms the city's most exclusive gentlemen's club to demand a miracle.

Enter Varil Arkenoth: the 'Idle Prince' of the Demon District. Society whispers about his disregard for duties, but Ark guards a secret life far more dangerous—and purposeful—than his reputation suggests. He offers her a scandalous pact: play his fiancée for the Yulefrost season to ward off his mother's matchmaking attempts, and he will use his influence to save her sanctuary.

As their romp across glittering galas turn into late-night domestic comforts, the line between performance and reality blurs. In a world that values bloodlines over belonging, a stubborn baker and a demon with too many secrets must decide if their fake bond is worth a real war.

For fans of cozy fantasy, slow-burn romance, and found family. Readers of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and Legends & Lattes will feel right at home.

Author

Enola M. Douglas was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, and now lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband, son, and their cat, Don Julio. She is just as happy dreaming about their next family vacation as she is planning it, but also loves to watch anything with Henry Cavill in it, read manga and fairy tales, try new recipes, and have conversations with book characters in her head. From interior design to food photography, Enola is no stranger to creative work—but writing is her very favourite so far.
