Bewitched

Selene Bowers wants one thing: a place at Henbane Coven where she can finally belong. There’s just one problem—every spell she casts costs her a memory. When she follows a mysterious call into the Peruvian rainforest, she finds a familiar who chooses her, a haunted crypt, and a man sealed in a sarcophagus who knows her by a name she doesn’t remember.

He calls himself Memnon the Cursed: a ruthless, mesmerizing sorcerer-king who insists Selene is his wife, his empress, his soul mate—reborn. Their magic recognizes each other even when her mind doesn’t, and their chemistry hits like a storm. Back at the coven, life refuses to settle. A string of murders puts witches on edge, the lycanthrope pack offers gritted-teeth protection, and someone seems determined to frame Selene for crimes she can’t recall.

As the bodies mount and her notebooks—the maps of her fading life—turn to ash under Memnon’s hand, Selene is pushed to a terrible edge: either break the unbreakable bond or face the truth of an ancient past she can barely trust. Bewitched is a modern, high-voltage fantasy romance about identity, consent, second chances across centuries, and a love that can ruin or redeem. If you like sharp banter, dangerous men, and heroines who keep choosing their power, lean in—this one casts a spell.
