Saying yes to Colm Walker could make all of Millie’s dreams come true… Or it could cost her everything.
Including her life.
The winds of change are blowing… And something wicked is brewing in the dark.
Millie Lockhart is descended from a long line of powerful witches but that doesn’t mean she has the foresight to avoid being stood up by her blind date, nor the courage to change her miserable life.
Stuck in a rut and unappreciated by her family, Millie must make a choice when fate throws the criminally sexy Colm Walker her way. A choice between a man who is a complete anathema to her family – but makes Millie feel alive - or to languish in her status quo

EXCERPT
It feels like I’ve just fallen asleep when I’m awoken by someone obnoxiously ringing my doorbell, over and over and over again.
Blinking sticky eyes open, I roll over and check the time on my phone screen. Seven o clock! Who in the right bloody mind goes knocking on someone’s door at that time on a Saturday? It’s cruel! It’s unnatural! But whoever the knob head is they aren’t buggering off like I’d hoped they would, leaving me no choice but to get out of bed and answer the bloody door.
“Alright, alright! I’m coming!” I yell, as I stomp down the hall, and flick on a light before taking a peek through the peephole.
“Bitch!” I shout through the door as I start releasing the locks. There are quite a few, so it's a bit of a slow process, but when you live in a basement apartment, I feel you can’t be too careful.
“Stop your whining Lockhart! I’ve got to be at work in an hour and details can’t wait!”
Pulling the door open, I’m faced with the happy smiling face of my BFF Sarah. I fucking hate morning people, as a whole, but at least this pre-dawn menace has the decency to come bearing gifts.
“Do I smell bacon?” I ask, as she marches past me with a brown bag of goodness and a cup holder with two coffees.
“Hell yes its bacon. You think I’d be stupid enough to wake the bear without bringing a sacrifice?”
