Bane Illes never smiled. He never spoke.
But each day, that brooding wizard gave Janiver Benoit a glance. And when she could not take another quiet stare, or the warmth that look sent over her skin, she took from Bane something he’d never give freely—a lingering, soul knocking kiss.
Ten years later, someone has stolen the one thing that keeps magic hidden from the mortals in Crimson Cove and only Janiver can recover it. But returning to her hometown means she’ll have to face the past and all the secrets she left buried there, including the one person she promised herself she’d never see again.
The dangerous wizard that might make leaving Crimson Cove the last thing she wants to do.

Helen Schrader hated witches. After all, they’d gotten her thrown into foster care. But as her thirtieth birthday approached, she sat across from a supposed witch named Nerissa and worked up the nerve to ask her for a spell. Funny how the past refused to die.
Pentagram knickknacks and a crystal ball collection decorated the old lady’s living room, along with vintage furniture and a framed art print of three women mixing brew in a cauldron. A bookshelf full of texts on witchcraft, world religions, and philosophy completed vivid testimony to authenticity.
People all over Minneapolis swore the crone could conjure fast cash. The pagans who took classes at Helen’s yoga studio spoke of Nerissa in the reverent tones of worshipers.
Perhaps the universe began orchestrating the current turn of events when one of Helen’s students walked in on her crying over unpaid bills and handed her Nerissa’s business card. Unless her visions from years ago kicked some grand plan into motion.

Though the hardened cynic in Helen scoffed at bullshit magical thinking, an atrophied, softer side not yet demolished by life’s cruelty yearned to believe in synchronicity and magic.
Sweat glued her jeans to the backs of her thighs as she adjusted her weight on the sofa cushion. She could stand to do some Zen breathing to calm her nerves. Besides, she’d run out of options to save her business. Her credit was shot, so no more loans. But Light and Enlightened would not become Dark and Forgotten without a final, radical attempt at salvation. Time to take one last shot at rescuing the only permanent home she’d ever known. Throw a Hail Mary pass. She met Nerissa’s keen blue eyes and managed a smile.
The universe has a plan. Everything happens for a reason. You’ve got this.
You are fucking idiot and a loser who is destined to fail.
“You have an impressive book collection.” Helen picked a chip in her nail polish as if repetitive motion would banish negative thoughts. “I’m not sure if you got my email about your fee for today. Does twenty dollars work? I’m so sorry I can’t offer more.”
A lopsided smirk deepened the wrinkles in Nerissa’s cheeks. She petted the arm of the leather recliner she sat in and uncrossed her legs beneath a maxi skirt. A knowing tone smoothed the kinks in her low timbre as she said, “Is that why you made an appointment? To discuss literature? Or did you mention the books as a way of confirming my legitimacy?”
Helen drew in a deep inhale and willed the room’s sage scent and mellow lighting to relax her before she blundered another
