Accidentally Employed an Incubus (Briar Coven #3)

2026 | Romance | Science Fiction/Fantasy

Caitlyn Myers is determined to make a living from her magic candy—just as soon as she perfects the recipes. Unfortunately, her childhood bully, Priscilla Raisin, seems equally determined to steal them right out from under her nose.
In a desperate bid for peace, Caitlyn packs up her cauldrons and rents an isolated field far from Priscilla’s prying eyes, hoping the quiet will finally help her focus. That’s assuming her sentient magical house, who appears to actively dislike her, will agree to the move. And just in case Priscilla manages to track her down, Caitlyn hires security from the elusive—and inexplicably affordable—Shadowbound Security.

Run by a pair of incubi, Blaise and Ambrose, Shadowbound Security isn’t what it used to be. Once known for taking the most dangerous, thrill-seeking jobs, the firm has been limping along ever since the vampire attack that nearly killed Blaise.
Worse, in the aftermath of the attack, the two best friends crossed a line neither of them knows how to uncross… and now they’re both pretending nothing ever happened.
They’re playing it safe.
Separate jobs.
No risks.
No feelings.
Blaise is assigned to protect a candy-making witch from a coven-mate determined to steal her recipes. Ambrose takes on a job involving a troublesome hob. And after yet another Samhain summoning without either of them being claimed by their fated mates, it seems they have one more year to untangle this mess.
They just have to survive their dull contracts first.

Accidentally Employed an Incubus is book three in an interconnected trilogy, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone with its own complete story and satisfying happily ever after.

This is a cozy paranormal MMF romance featuring plenty of humor, cauldrons’ worth of simmering tension, a sentient house with a fondness for pranks, two incubi deep in emotional denial, and a slightly manic witch. While the story is firmly rooted in the cozy paranormal romance genre, it does touch on some heavier themes. Readers are encouraged to check the content warnings before diving in.
