About Best Hex Ever: Best Hex Ever introduces readers to Dina Whitlock, a skilled kitchen witch who infuses her London café’s pastries with magic. However, a hex complicates her love life by cursing anyone who falls for her with bad luck. When Scott Mason, a world-traveling curator returning to London, becomes enchanted by Dina, he must navigate a weekend of magical events and a growing connection with the charming witch. With a wedding approaching and the hex looming, Dina must find a way to break the curse before it affects both their hearts. This cosy fantasy is perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.
