Graves Glen · #1
The Ex Hex
Erin Sterling casts a delightful spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong.
“A delightful and witty take on witchy mayhem.” — Popsugar
Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.
That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.
Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.

The town of Graves Glen looks like any other quiet corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with its cozy shops, college-town energy, and leaf-strewn streets. But beneath the pumpkins and autumn festivals, magic hums through the air, binding families, rivalries, and long-held secrets together.
Read full series description
This is a place where witches live openly alongside mortals, where a poorly aimed spell can ignite a decades-old feud, and where falling in love might be the most dangerous enchantment of all. At the heart of the series are characters who stumble, banter, and bicker their way through curses and family legacies, only to find that the truest kind of magic is often the one they least expect.
What makes the stories unforgettable is not just the broomsticks and spellbooks but the warmth of community, the tug of history, and the spark of romance that burns brighter than any hex. The novels carry the playful charm of a rom-com while weaving in the cozy, slightly haunted atmosphere of a town that feels alive in every detail.
Readers drawn to witchy romance, small-town charm, and a touch of mischief will find Graves Glen a place worth returning to, season after season.
