Spell Me Always — Cherie Marks

A witch with bad juju…A shifter too curious for his own good…Put them together and you might just save the world…if you don't destroy it first. Mesmerelda Wilder has lost control of her magic. A simple sneeze or a hiccough results in all sorts of mishaps. With the help of her aunt Kresley and her monkey-familiar Noxy, Mez hopes she can get her magical malady cured and rescue her missing pet before the Secret Army uses him to bring back an evil that will destroy the world. Maybe, if she can convince the shifter that's been sniffing around to help her, she might have half a chance to make things right. Lucian Zafren has heard rumors that the High Priestess's return is imminent. Her devoted followers' plan to resurrect the evil sorceress and apparently require the elder witch Kresley Wilder to do it. Now, he must act to fight to keep the kingdom free. Of course, with the witch who happens to be his mate promising seduction and pulling his focus off his mission, he'll need to keep his head on straight and get her on his side because if they can pull off a tricky plan together, they won't just foil evil once or twice. They'll spell it always.
