Book excerpt: Magnolia Two and a half years ago, I made a bad choice—one that nearly destroyed my family. Now I bear the scars of a nightmare we barely survived. If it wasn't for my best friend Bram, I wouldn't have. But nothing's been the same between us since. Bram has changed. He's hiding things, and now there's a swirling darkness radiating from him that scares me...and provokes a fierce need within. Feelings I've never had for any man and cannot have for him. Yet when I'm called to trial and barely make it back alive, Bram's deadly secrets are finally revealed—and my world will never be the same. As we rush to save my coven, I must confront emotions that are buried deep, and fight for a happiness I never dared to dream of or risk losing it all...
