Book excerpt: An outcast, wannabe witch. Unlike modern witches’ customs, Willow Wilde doesn’t want to control a warlock… even if her magic hadn’t taken a hike. But after someone plonks an ancient black spell on her, her family’s coven leader assigns the sexiest warlock Willow’s ever met to protect her. An ambitious, magic-hungry warlock. Evan Ravenwood can’t believe his luck… guard Willow Wilde, the one thing he’s craved for months, while he secretly serves two masters. He knows Willow’s not the average witch. Her magic’s ripe for the taking, and a dangerous black warlock also wants her for his own. A black warlock that shouldn’t exist. They got more than they bargained for when Willow’s magic emerges. Willow isn’t prepared for her sinful guard to contradict everything she knows about warlocks. Yet none of it matters if she can’t use her magic, or if that black warlock gets his grimy paws on her. Will Willow earn her place in the coven and in Evan’s heart before everything’s lost?
