Willow Caudalie went all out to look superb, even though she was sure she would get this senior partnership promotion for certain. Her experience surpassed that of everyone there and was obvious since she was given all of the more difficult cases. The firm handled all kinds of legal issues, but the best thing about it was that the personnel were all witches from the Coven of The Hallowed, her birth coven, and she was even an original descendant unlike many of the others. When Bruce called her into his office, however, he had bad news. One of the rules they had was that if a family member wanted a job in their family-owned firm, they had precedence over everyone else. His nephew had returned from Europe and would be taking the partnership position.
Adam Bryson came through a portal and into the office right then. He stole Willow’s breath away with his good looks. Bruce wanted her to work with Adam, but she promptly told him she wouldn’t. When Adam said she was afraid of competition, quick to jump ship, obviously not cut out for the work here, looked like she ought to work in a beauty salon and not this law firm, she was infuriated and ready to breathe fire! Bruce again offered her a large raise and asked her to reconsider leaving. But she had no purpose here anymore.
Adam was going to love the task he was sent for. He was of the Hallowed witches who went rogue centuries ago and swore their allegiance to the demon Bassoth. In return for completing the demon’s task, he would be given immortality! Bruce knew what he was there for and reminded him that he was only required to get close to her to get access to the book but did not have to do anything else. He didn’t want Willow to be hurt. But Adam was far more powerful since they had last seen each other, and he would do what he wanted. He was arrogant and confident, and he would show no mercy to the little witch.
This was a well-written, intriguing story with Willow wanting a “normal” life balanced with her witchcraft, and Adam being evil and working for a demon, seeing her as a challenge he would win. Is Willow ready to take on the powerful male? Or is she in deep trouble, as she begins to suspect?
