The Spell That Wasn't

Beth Reynolds is running on three hours of sleep, a dying phone, and a very precarious subway coffee... until the train lurches and she dumps the whole thing on a ridiculously hot stranger.

Then she shows up late to the biggest callback of her modeling career and realizes the "coffee guy" is Chris Martinez - her co-model for the shoot. The one she has to get half-naked with. Maybe kiss. For the camera.

On set, the chemistry is real enough to make the photographer cry. Off set? Chris is sweet, steady, and somehow still sends mixed signals that make Beth feel like she's losing her mind and her oracle cards aren't helping.

So Beth does what any anxious romantasy girl with catastrophic impulse control would do: she buys a love spell on Etsy.

And after that... everything she's been dreaming about starts happening.

Except now she can't stop wondering: did he choose her... or did she pay for him?
