Witch You Would: A Magical Rom-Com of Spellcasting Reality Shows, Unlikely Love, and Enchanting Sabotage in the Heart of Miami by L:ia Amador

A bright, high-concept magical rom-com set in a Miami where enchantment is basically a college major—and reality TV is the ultimate battleground. Witch You Would mixes competition stakes, spellcasting chaos, and a partnership that starts as pure irritation… until it turns into sparks Penelope can’t explain (and Gil can’t admit the truth about).

Penelope Delmar is a broke salesgirl who gets a life-changing shot: she’s been chosen to compete on Cast Judgment, a spellcasting reality show where the winner takes home a huge cash prize. This season is “Spellebrity Edition,” meaning every contestant is paired with a celebrity teammate for maximum drama—and Penelope’s partner is Leandro Presto, famous for goofy viral spell videos, not actual skill. Great.

What Penelope doesn’t know is that “Leandro Presto” is really Gil Contreras—and he’s been crushing hard on his pen pal Penelope for months. Now they’re working together to win a contest that could save his grandfather’s charity… but Gil has to stay in character, which means the woman he adores thinks he’s a total clown.

As sabotage ramps up and spells go sideways, they’ll have to outplay snobby rivals, survive the cameras, and decide if the secret at the center of their partnership will ruin everything—or finally set them free.
