The Wrong Sort of Magic

A little bad magic is the least of this witch's problems . . . Pippa Beverly knows evil. As a demon-hunting witch by night and a legal assistant by day, she's used to bloodthirsty fangs as well as the brutal monotony of paperwork. Once Pippa is accepted into the city's largest coven, she'll be able to leave her old life in the law firm behind . . . she just hopes the coven will see past the dark magic lurking in her family history. Maxim Sheppard used to find happiness through escapism, and calmed his anxiety-powered brain by submerging himself in fantasy. These days, instead of indulging in fictional novels about idyllic heroes (boasting women with questionable armor choices on the covers), he works as a lawyer in an attempt to change the world for the better. One night, Pippa kills the wrong demon at the wrong time and accidentally exposes Maxim to the magical—and dangerous—life she's always known. While Pippa wrestles with feelings for someone who might not be able to safely navigate her world, Maxim discovers that fighting real demons alongside a captivating witch gives him more purpose than fantasy and the law ever did. As new enemies rise and old doubts resurface, will Pippa and Maxim be strong enough to save each other, or will they both be doomed by the wrong sort of magic?
