Blake Cyrus runs.

He runs after achievements, success, praise...and last summer, he even ran after his ex-girlfriend thanks to a divination spell gone haywire. The one thing he can’t seem to run away from, despite all of his routines and plans, is the itch that something in his life is missing.

When his warlock patron’s daughter, Nicolette Azzamor, comes to Haven’s Hill to find ways to make Blake’s family’s business more successful, Blake realizes that following the playbook that’s always worked isn’t going to get him the win this time around, especially when her presence is intoxicating to both him and his magic.

Now, he has to work with Nic day in and day out to pull off the biggest Beltane festival Haven’s Hill has ever seen. With deadlines looming, a project plan that refuses to stay neat and tidy, and with the Cyrus family’s access to magic hanging in the balance, Blake must untangle what he actually wants to achieve in life, even though that might mean throwing out everything he thought he knew about work, play...and love.
