After a lifetime of ignoring her magic, Melissa is now in danger from those who would like to steal it.
Melissa discovers her magic is very real while hiking with her friend, Rachel. She sells everything and gives up her life as a stockbroker to live in solitude to practice and learn her magic. But real life keeps intruding. Then, one stormy night before Beltane, John arrives.
Someone sends John to find her. He's a private investigator and very good at his job. But when he finds her, literal sparks fly. Next thing he knows, he's talking to cats and other animals, and they're talking back. If that isn't enough to believe in the magic, the spell she wove over him sure is. The heat between them is hotter than the Dismal Swamp in the Summer.
They make plans for celebrating Beltane together, and he can't wait. However, as the time nears, he has to choose between his business and Melissa as the one who sent him to find her threatens him and the woman he's come to love.
Whatever he does, he is afraid Melissa will die. How can he save her and their growing love?
