Some days, it’s not the magic that turns shaman Joanne Walker’s life upside-down.

When her day job as a police detective goes sideways, picking up the pieces means down time, inner turmoil, and—naturally—an accidental date with her boss, Captain Michael Morrison. Who is in no way a source of that inner turmoil. Obviously.

Some days, it’s not the magic that turns shaman Joanne Walker’s life upside-down.

Joanne, racing against the clock to save her boss, is faced with a hard truth: she would do anything for Morrison.

Anything but give up the path she’s on.
