Love and law are complicated enough—add magic and things can get really messy.
Forty-year-old Bella Hexley walked away from magic years ago. She built a perfectly ordinary life—law school, marriage, motherhood. Then her husband blindsided her with divorce, taking their house, their savings, and every illusion of stability she had left. The only thing she kept? Custody of her daughter—if she can prove she can support her.
With no job offers and bills piling up, Bella does the unthinkable: she returns to the one place she swore she’d never go back to—the Enchanted District of Chicago. Broke and desperate, she borrows money from a half-demon named Paul and uses it to open a magical law firm. But when the clients don’t come and the money runs out, Paul calls in his favor: take on a case of his choosing.
Her assignment? Sue a man for wrongful death.
There’s just one problem—the man appears to be innocent. And worse? Bella can’t stop thinking about him.
Between a missing diary, a client with far too many secrets, and the creeping suspicion she’s being played, Bella is juggling legal ethics, single motherhood, and magic that has a nasty habit of catching things on fire. Luckily, she’s got a ghostly roommate who dispenses legal tips in a British accent (and grudgingly babysits), and a best friend convinced lasagna can fix any crisis.
Bella will need every scrap of wit, willpower, and wildly unpredictable spellwork to win her case, keep her daughter, and survive falling for the one man she’s supposed to destroy.
