For fifty years Madeline Montgomery has taught magic-challenged witches how to cast spells. And she's good at it. When she loses her job at the college, she's thrown into an identity crisis. If she can't teach what will she do?
Broke and desperate, Jake Cunningham has borrowed money from the wrong witches. With a moniker like Jake The Rake floating around, he hasn't a chance of finding his next mark. Until he's made an offer he can't refuse—meet Madeline and he'll be a hundred thousand dollars richer.

When Jake shows up on Madeline's doorstep asking for her help, it's a goddess-send. While she teaches him to spell, he brings a different kind of magic into her life. For the first time she wants to throw caution to the wind and let her heart lead the way. But Jake insists he has a curse and if she gets too close she'll end up hating him.

But she's an expert at magic and a curse can be broken. Or can it?
