Broke In Magic: Broke In Magic, Book 1
If she killed him, it’d be worth it.
After his car breaks down in Magic, New Mexico, Jasper touches Melia’s fingertips... and she knocks him out cold. He awakens in a red, raging lust, determined to get with her. There’s one little snag, but it’s a doozy. His demon daddy plans to turn him darker than Hades. Holding the line with Jasper are his two best friends, who think running is the answer.
Melia, a gorgeous, ethereal Muse and a badass balancer of evil, is equally struck by lust’s lightning. She’ll take Jasper out, but in her heart, she’d rather be taken by this sexy, clueless warlock. If Jasper explodes from the protections his witch mother cast to hide him from his magic, Melia has no choice but to kill him. Used to working alone, she makes an unlikely alliance, desperate to keep Jasper in the light, in her life, and take him as her fated forever lover.
Will Big Daddy and his demon minions prevail, forcing Melia to shred her own heart and kill the man she believes is her one true love? Can Jasper survive his birthright fate? A raging chase across the New Mexican desert turns into a good vs evil free-for-all, forcing each to respond to the internal questions of balance, darkness, and love’s light.

I love the juxtaposition between these two main characters, and how patience and faith in each other--that there has to be an answer--plants them toe to toe against the world they knew. Plus, delving into pockets of more obscure magic made this book super interesting. Find out why and cheer this unlikely pair on as they tackle the scariest antagonist I've ever written.
