Wedding bells are ringing, but not for Roxie Golden. If she can survive yet another round of wedding plans, then her life can return to her normal forever-single routine. She's perfectly happy running the bookstore and weaving helpful magical spells. Then her beloved ex-fiancé strolls back into her life with a small gift that throws their lives into turmoil with a mysterious treasure hunt they must work together to complete. Leo King fled the small town to forget the shame he brought upon himself when he abused his magical powers as a teen. He'd never planned to return to Roseville and most definitely never intended to ever again see his enchanting Roxie. Not after he hurt her too much to be forgiven. Before he can escape the town and return to the sanctuary of his city condo, he must satisfy his warlock father's final wish: deliver the enigmatic box to Roxie's bookstore. But when Roxie opens the box, revealing an enchanted bracelet and a quest spell, his chance to escape is snatched away. They must complete the quest together or suffer the deadly consequences of the broken spell. As they track down the hidden charms, secretive members of the Order of Witchery Lore are following them. What do they want? Trapped in a reluctant partnership with the woman he once loved, he risks everything -- including his heart -- for a second chance.
