A delightful queer cottagecore romantasy full of friends-to-lovers romance, found family, rival family drama, and cozy garden magic. Yael Clauneck might be an indifferent warlock, but they are also the only scion of an obscenely wealthy banking family with its fingers in every pie in the realm. On the precipice of a predetermined life, a loveless political marriage, and eventually, children who'll be raised exactly as they were, they flee during their own graduation party, in search of the chance to feel like life can still be a grand adventure. Margot Greenwillow-talented plant witch, tea lover, and stressed greenhouse owner-has never felt further from adventure in her life. After her grandmother died and her parents lost the family fortune, she's been on her own, desperately trying to keep what remains of the family business afloat. So when her childhood friend-and former crush-gallops back into her life, she's shocked, to say the least. But when Yael confesses they've fled home with no possessions and no plan, Margot, lonely and in need of help, offers Yael a job in the greenhouses. Yael is delighted to accept. They lay low for a while, harvesting strawberries for heartbreak jam, and flirting with Margot while they figure out what to do next. What Yael doesn't know is that Margot's been forming a plan of her own - reforge alliances, entice investors, and take back everything that was stolen from her own family by the Clauneck Company. But plans are notoriously unreliable things, unlikely to survive a swiftly-blooming mutual attraction, not to mention the machinations of a set of parents determined to get their heir back-no matter the cost.

After years racing go-karts and looking up to her mother, a celebrity Formula 1 racer, Jojo Emerson-Boyd should be starting her own racing career. But when she loses her mom in a tragic crash, Jojo's future comes to a screeching halt. Now her dad won't let her get a license, much less race. Instead, she's stuck working at her grandmother's mechanic shop in the sleepy small town of Dell's Hollow. But Jojo's heart quickens when Motorcyle Girl Eliana "El" Blum shows up at the shop. El grew up on the motocross circuit sidelines, watching her sister and idol Maxine compete. When El mysteriously loses all contact with Max, she's determined to find her, with her first clue leading straight to the mechanic shop, and to Jojo. United by fate, the two quickly bond over Mario Kart showdowns and the Fast & Furious films. As their friendship shifts into something more, they'll have to confront both their growing romance and the grief woven into their complicated families if they hope to chase down their dreams and make it across the finish line.

In the Belle âEpoque city of Severon, Sybil Clarion and Esme Rimbaud, best friends with a secret crush on each other, find themselves drawn into a risky heist proposition from a mysterious Green Faerie named Maeve, which could offer financial security but may endanger their carefully constructed lives.
