It’s three days until Christmas, and Sage has only one thing keeping her from the cozy comfort of home and family at the holidays.

Unfortunately, that one thing is Dr. Alec Ashcroft, the cold and condescending postdoc in the magical portomancy department, who also happens to stand in the way of Sage’s degree.

But when portal magic goes awry, Sage finds herself trapped with her arch-nemesis and learns that Alec is far less frigid than she’d believed.

Hex the Halls is a cozy, academic rivals to lovers paranormal romance with Christmas vibes and spicy heat.
