Bestselling author Alexandra Ivy returns to her bestselling Magic for Hire series, where the witches of a small New Jersey bookstore go up against a subtle and gruesome evil--and one woman changes her destiny forever . . .

Maya Rosen has plenty of experience with vampires, demons, and danger. She wears the scars that prove it. But she established Witch's Brew, her bookshop and mage's office, as a cozy place of safety and protection. When the brutally handsome vampire Ravyr appears, decades after she thought he died in the ruins of her master's lair, Maya is prepared for a fight. Until he saves her life instead--and they realize they have an enemy in common.

Hunting down violent goblins, treacherous mages, and drug-dealing aristocrats with Ravyr isn't enough to make Maya trust him. She's been betrayed before, and she knows the vampire isn't telling her everything. But the attraction between them grows, even as their chase brings them closer to a terrifying possibility. Maya knows desire is its own magic. And with horrors from the past lying in wait, they'll need all the power they can tame . . .
