Bella Hexley has rebuilt her life on contracts, careful choices, and rules she refuses to break.

Blood magic doesn’t care about any of them.

Once, Bella walked away from Coven Hill and the power that nearly destroyed her future. Now a respected attorney with newly awakened magic, she has finally begun to trust the life she fought so hard to reclaim.

Until a demon uprising exposes a centuries-old bargain — one tied to an ancient grimoire, stolen magic, and the man she never truly forgot.

Suddenly, the skills that helped Bella survive divorce, debt, and starting over aren’t enough. Coven Hill is unraveling, its most vulnerable citizens caught in a system designed to protect power instead of people. And whether she wants it or not, Bella may be the only person capable of challenging it.

Jack Payne isn’t making that choice any easier.

A reaper bound by unbreakable laws, Jack knows secrets he can never share — even with the woman he can’t seem to stay away from. Their connection is undeniable. Their future may be impossible.

But as the truth behind the magical conspiracy comes to light, Bella faces a decision that will define not just her power… but the life she’s determined to build.

Because some contracts are meant to be honored.

Some are meant to be broken.

And some demand a price that changes everything.

HEX APPEAL is a character-driven urban fantasy perfect for readers who love magic with grown-up stakes, slow-burn romance, and heroines who refuse to surrender the lives they’ve fought to rebuild.
