Hex Marks the Spot by Isabel Micheals

When librarian Hazel Pembroke’s ancient grimoire suddenly blazes to life in the middle of the night, she never expects it to choose her a magical partner—especially not Nathan Holloway, the infuriatingly methodical supernatural investigator who analyzes everything, including her feelings, with scientific precision.
But ancient prophecies don’t care about personal preferences. As books attack patrons, romance novels explode in showers of glitter, and a centuries-old entity called The Collector begins hunting magical pairs across the region, Hazel and Nate must learn to work together before they become the next butterflies pinned to his collection.
Set in the delightfully chaotic town of Assjacket, where the streetlights respond to emotions, cats run intelligence networks, and the local baker might actually be dating an immortal witch, Hex Marks the Spot is a laugh-out-loud paranormal romance that proves the most powerful magic isn’t in ancient spellbooks—it’s in choosing to trust someone with your heart.

This enemies-to-lovers tale delivers swoon-worthy romance, found family feels, and enough magical mayhem to keep you turning pages until the very last spell is cast.

Sometimes the best partnerships are the ones you never saw coming.
