Ever since her magics manifested, Avery Hawk was taught to hide her abilities from the Witch and Warlock world. After all, turning into a cat isn't exactly a typical magic. But when her brother is kidnapped following a black magic attack, she risks everything to find him, including turning to a man in the heart of the world she's always shunned. Mike Rosslyn epitomizes everything her mother warned her about. He's a warlock, he's powerful, and he's the head of the Dark Guards-a new and mysterious task force. And worse yet, he is sexy as all hell and way too tempting. And when her brother's attacker targets Avery, Mike is her only hope... even if his help comes at the cost of her secrets and her heart...
