The Villainess and the Shampoo Spell War: A witty fantasy romance of magical cosmetics, enchanted hair wash, friendship, and courtship disaster

Renee de la Croix was reborn with memories of a wasted former life, and this time she refuses to be a decorative noblewoman. Belle Renee has survived scandal once already, but success brings new dangers. While Renee opens her first cosmetics shop and fights to build a real business, her friend Flossie is threatened with a grim finishing school near the Tarithian border, and a shimmering new hair-wash called Glimmerwash offers both opportunity and competition.




With loyal staff, unpredictable nobles, magical products, and a store full of demanding customers, Renee must decide what kind of leader she wants to become. Across the border, new tests, alliances, and misunderstandings challenge both her ambition and her heart. Clever, funny, and full of fantasy-world commerce, this story follows a young villainess reborn into a second chance at friendship, enterprise, and love.
