Incantations professor Maggie Linden is facing a spring term of struggles at the magical Hawthorn College - from budget cuts slashing her spellcasting syllabus, to finding the mysterious stranger she kissed at the Beltane masquerade ball.

Now, worst of all, she's being forced to share her office with famous (and famously broody) alchemist Arthur Taliesin.

An accident in Taliesen's lab has set loose a dangerous, haunting magic, rendering parts of the college uninhabitable. With his insufferable attitude and unfortunate good looks, a distraction like Arthur is the last thing Maggie needs.

She'll do anything to get Arthur out of her office.

Including offering to help him reverse the magic that threatens the college.

But as they work together to save Hawthorn, Maggie slowly discovers that Arthur is more than the conceited grump he pretends to be . . .
