A Labor of Love Potion

For fans of Ali Hazelwood and Megan Bannen, a sparkling, magical rom-com about a Wednesday Addams-esque love potion maker who must seduce her enemy in order to secure the key ingredient for a rare hatred-to-love potion and save her failing business

Rosemary Venera is Sybillia’s most successful love potion maker. With a bit of Romanticist magic and her failproof Eleven Step Seduction Plan, she's able to harvest the exact flavors of love she needs to make her potions, every time.

But when an anonymous column begins slandering her business, sales plummet, and Rosemary's forced to accept a near-impossible job to save her shop: create a rare hatred-to-love potion, a task that requires Rosemary to make someone who hates her fall madly in love with her.

The good news is, she has the perfect candidate: Bowen Eto, a love therapist who hates Romanticists, love potions, and, most of all, Rosemary. She's convinced he's the author of the anonymous column threatening her livelihood, which will only make her ultimate success all the sweeter.

But as Rosemary embarks on her tried-and-true seduction plan, Bowen's charm and thoughtfulness quickly turn the tables, making Rosemary wonder who exactly is seducing whom. As they unravel one another bit by bit, will Rosemary do what's needed to save her business, or will she succumb to the feelings she's been imitating her entire life?
