Love Potions and Poor Life Choices: A second chance, enemies to lovers romance (Poor Life Choices #1) by Jilli Waters

When my fated mate rejected me, I lost everything—my magic, my home, my heart.

Now Luca—the maddening, gorgeous werewolf who left me to rot on this tiny magical island—has the audacity to walk into my coffee shop and ask for my help.

He wants me to go on a quest with him, to recover a treasure we stole years ago.
The catch? If we don’t, a very angry dragon is going to torch my entire town.


And as if that weren’t enough, said dragon has chained us together with a magical bond. Now Luca’s my werewolf on a leash and my fake date to my sister’s wedding. And I have to pretend we’re wildly in love.

He’s still charming. Still infuriating. Still mine—technically.

But I’ve spent years building a life without him. What will it take to forgive the wolf who shattered me?
And what if the biggest danger isn’t the dragon… but falling for him all over again?

Love Potions and Poor Life Choices is a swoony, steamy, magically chaotic paranormal romcom full of second chances, fake dating, forced proximity, fated mates, a werewolf groveling for forgiveness, and one witch who refuses to make the same mistake twice. (Probably.)

Jilli specializes in swoony small-town romance, where the settings are as cozy as they are picturesque, whether it’s a lobster shack on the coast of Maine or a family-run bakery in the heart of a close-knit town. Readers are drawn to her ability to create real connections between characters, exploring both the joy and the challenges of love—without ever losing sight of the humor and heart that make her stories truly shine.

Her debut novel, You've Got Love and Lobsters, released in 2023, quickly captivated fans with its heartfelt story of Layla Deeb, a woman determined to save her family’s struggling lobster shack, and Ben Carlisle, the corporate rival who just might steal her heart. This book, along with the rest of the Shipbuilt Shenanigans series, shows off her talent for crafting engaging, layered characters and blending humor with romance in a way that feels entirely fresh.

In addition to her swoony small-town romances, Jilli has also ventured into the realm of monster romance with her Toothsome Monster Romance series. Her latest release, One Night with Her Mountain Orc, brings together a stranded woman and a reformed orc in a heartwarming and steamy tale that has added a unique twist to her already diverse repertoire.

When she’s not writing, Jilli can be found plotting her next adventure, playing games with her family, or simply enjoying the beauty of the stars. Whether you’re a fan of small-town charm or just looking for a story that will make you believe in the power of love, Jilli Waters is an author whose books are sure to leave a lasting smile on your face.
