A witch with bad juju…A shifter too curious for his own good…Put them together and you might just save the world…if you don't destroy it first.Mesmerelda Wilder has lost control of her magic. A simple sneeze or a hiccough results in all sorts of mishaps. With the help of her aunt Kresley and her monkey-familiar Noxy, Mez hopes she can get her magical malady cured and rescue her missing pet before the Secret Army uses him to bring back an evil that will destroy the world. Maybe, if she can convince the shifter that's been sniffing around to help her, she might have half a chance to make things right.Lucian Zafren knows the rumors are real: the High Priestess is about to return, and her devoted followers plan to resurrect the evil sorceress-using elder witch Kresley Wilder as the key. Determined to keep the kingdom free, Lucian sets out to stop them…only to discover Kresley's niece, Mesmerelda, is his fated mate and far more interested in distracting him than saving the realm. With temptation threatening to derail his mission and magic spiraling out of control, Lucian must convince the witch who's stolen his focus to join his side. Because if they can pull off one dangerously clever plan together, they won't just foil evil once or twice-they'll spell it always. It all started with an old-fashioned typewriter. When the family brought it home, all those stories and characters rolling around in her head could finally get out. The press and click of the keys satisfied in their own right, but when she pulled out a finished page, she knew this was for her. Since then, she's graduated to a laptop, but the stories still find a way out.She's a breast cancer survivor, a teacher, a wife, a mother, and from the very beginning-a storyteller. Always a hint humorous and honest to a fault, she loves to make people laugh and smile. Her goal in life is to achieve tact and stop procrastinating. The battle wages on.
