Publisher's Synopsis
Was Thea mad over Mason's unannounced reappearance?
Furious that she'd fainted at the sight of him?
Angry that she'd swooned over him when she came to?
The answer was obvious. D: All of the above.
Thea Halliwell has resigned herself to singledom. She lives with two cats, runs a small-town bookstore by day, and has only book boyfriends to keep her warm at night. The daily hum-drum has Thea looking for a little magic in her life-literally. Magic is part of the makeup of her island hometown and when she signs up for a six week course to explore her magical potential, the new adventure has her bubbling over with anticipation. That is, until Mason Bleeping Tuttle arrives at orientation. Okay, so that's not really her ex's middle name, but it should be.
Mason Tuttle hasn't stepped foot on home turf in ten years. When he's enlisted to oversee the fall session of magical boot camp, he doesn't expect to run into his old flame, Thea, or to see so much hurt behind her not-so-discreet glances. And he knows why she's hurt-he feels it too. Their teenage romance ended in tragedy and Mason being sent to the midwest to finish high school. Now, seeing the woman she's become has his heart pounding like he's seventeen again. But there's just one problem-she's made it clear they have no reason to get reacquainted.
Is Mason grown up and good looking? Yes. Is Thea peeking over the pages of her novel to check him out? Oh, yes. But it's more than just a painful past keeping these two apart. Someone in their present is meddling with their second chance at having a future.
