This Spells Forever

By Melissa Sky

She cast a love spell to summon her soulmate. The universe sent her worst enemy instead.

Nova Wilde is a TikTok influencer, dripping in glitter and bravado, posting viral videos and thirst traps for Gen Z witches. But off-camera, she’s longing for the one thing she can’t seem to conjure: someone who stays. On a whim, she performs a sex-magick ritual…and accidentally summons the one woman who knows exactly how to get under her skin.

Dr. Delphine Desrosiers is everything Nova can’t stand. Serious. Controlled. Annoyingly unreadable. She’s an ice-queen academic with impeccable mystical credentials and a long history of throwing shade at Nova.

Their heated rivalry is the tea of Witchtok. Their searing attraction is the bane of their existence. When the signs begin stacking up, the two have to consider the unthinkable: that the universe knows what it’s doing.

This Spells Forever is a witty and whimsical enemies-to-lovers romance about power, performance, and the terrifying possibility of being truly chosen.
