Description

DIRTY MAGIC - IT'S DANGEROUS, ILLEGAL AND TWICE AS ADDICTIVE AS COCAINE

The Magical Enforcement Agency keeps dirty magic off the streets, but there's a new blend out there that's as deadly as it is elusive. When patrol cop Kate Prospero shoots the lead snitch in this crucial case, she's brought in to explain herself. But the more she learns about the investigation, the more she realises she must secure a spot on the MEA task force.

Especially when she discovers that their lead suspect is the man she walked away from ten years earlier - on the same day she swore she'd given up dirty magic for good.

Author Bio

Raised in Texas, USA Today bestseller Jaye Wells grew up reading everything she could get her hands on. Her penchant for daydreaming was often noted by frustrated teachers. She embarked on a series of career paths, including stints working for a motivational speaker and at an art museum, but eventually realised that while she loved writing, she found facts boring. So she left all that behind to indulge her overactive imagination and make stuff up for a living. She lives in Texas with her saintly husband and devilish son.
