“Mine, too.” He kissed her. “I won the lottery. Thank God you took part in that spell. The magic worked.”

She laughed. “It did.”

She snuggled up to him and stared at the tattoo on his wrist. She’d wanted someone to respect and love her. Someone to take care of her and rescue her from her situation. He’d done that and more.

The spell had seemed ridiculous at the time and impossible at first, but it worked. She’d found her dream man, covered in tattoos and with a heart of gold. How could she argue her good fortune?

She’d found perfect magic with her summoned bad boy.
