But coming home again isn't as simple as it sounds. Her magic is rusty, her family want her to wrap her in cotton wool, and Illvyan society views her as a scandal waiting to happen. Worse, her new life keeps throwing her into the path of the man who destroyed her old one. Lucien de Roche's magic bares the truth for all to see. He's used it to serve the empire, but there's one secret he's always kept hidden. The fact that he fell in love with his best friend's wife. And that he's never quite fallen out again....

I never expected to discover that I was a witch—one being hunted by a demon. I'd taken down the demon but the price I paid was high—I lost both my best friend and the man I loved. Now all I want is to leave magic far behind . . . Maggie Lachlan is the Techwitch. A computer whisperer, able to bring recalcitrant systems to their knees with a single keystroke. But now she knows she is more than a geek, she's an actual witch as well. But magic has brought only pain and for the last nine months she's been mourning her losses and ignoring her powers. But when her ex, Damon Riley, reappears in her life, bringing in his wake a magical mystery, she will need every ounce of her computer mojo and her magic. Trouble is, she seems to have lost both. And without magic, she's vulnerable to the kind of control demons like to wield. With a curse to unravel and a demon's revenge to avoid, Maggie needs to find her power and save the day and Damon....
