The Magician's Duel — Judith Janeway

It's double the trouble when two magicians face off…
Magician Valentine Hill had a rocky childhood thanks to her amoral mother, a woman addict­ed to the con. It was made less rocky by one adult she could count on, a man she called Un­cle Rocky. The events of The Magician's Daughter inspired him to send someone to play guard dog. But now someone new threatens a woman called Mary. And Valentine's precarious independence―maybe her life. For fans of Meg Gardiner and Sandra Block.
