Celeste Gables doesn't believe in magic. She's spent her life seeking the normalcy her wiccan mother never provided her or her younger sister. When her sister leaves for college and a handsome, shadowy figure from her past returns to claim an ancient rite to protect her, based on a contract in her mother's magic book of spells, Celeste guards her heart. She refuses Lucien's help against otherworldly enemies. But the laws of magic are not so easily denied...
A Barnes & Noble Nook best-selling author, Kristi Avalon is passionate about writing romance novels. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing love triumph over adversity, as characters change and grow into better people because of each other. And, of course, happily ever after!
Kristi holds a master's degree in English from John Carroll University. When she's not escaping into fiction, she works as a technical writer, and loves sharing a glass (or two!) of good wine with great friends. She lives in Northeast Ohio with her heroically patient (and handsome!) husband, an enthusiastic Australian Shepherd, and a cranky cat.
