About this book

Olivia Tahk is a witch with a knack for pouring liquid luck into her bottles, but one catastrophic mistake has turned her vineyard into a epicenter of supernatural chaos. After accidentally poisoning her ghostly support group, her charmed wines have begun inflicting bizarre misfortunes on her customers—from failing grades to being terrorized by aggressive geese. With the clock ticking before this bad luck becomes permanent, Olivia needs a miracle, or at least a very reliable cosigner.

Enter Beck Vennum, a man plagued by his own spectral problem: his matchmaking great aunt’s ghost, who refuses to cross over until he finds true love. Beck offers Olivia the financial lifeline she desperately needs, but there is a catch. To satisfy his aunt and secure the deal, they must enter into a fake dating arrangement. As they navigate a landscape of chaotic curses and unwanted matchmaking, their professional facade begins to crack under the weight of undeniable chemistry.

This delightful paranormal romance delivers the perfect blend of small-town charm and supernatural absurdity. Featuring a slow-burn connection, witty banter, and a sprinkle of spectral meddling, this story is a must-read for anyone craving a magical, laugh-out-loud escape.
