A Match Made in Spell (Fate Weaver Book 1)
Listing Details
Some fates are harder to avoid than others.
Matchmaker witch Lexi Balefire has always known she's not quite normal. Her closet is filled with designer clothes she didn't have to pay for, her best friend looks like he should be gracing the cover of a romance novel, and she was raised by three elemental faerie godmothers who throw magic around like it's biodegradable confetti.
Plus, you can't grow up down the street from where, smack in the act of murdering your mother, your grandmother was turned into a stone statue, and still think you're just like everyone else on the block.
For centuries, Lexi's badass ancestors were revered as Keepers of the Balefire - an enchanted flame that once sparked and still feeds the magic of all witchkind. At least, it does when a competent Keeper is tending it. Generations of Balefire witches proudly fulfilled their sacred duty until, for some reason Lexi really wishes she understood, her mother and grandmother went wicked and destroyed each other - and the family's good name.
Outcast and lacking guidance, Lexi's never unlocked more than a whisper of the power she credits for her ability to make unbreakable love matches, and tending to the hearth is starting to feel like a second full-time job. One with long hours and lousy benefits. Add in the search for her elusive magical legacy, and she barely has time for a decent pedicure.
Enter handsome charismatic musician Kin Clark, who wants to give Lexi the happily-ever-after she's never truly believed a wicked Balefire witch deserved. With Kin, the idea of settling down and having a family and an everyday life sounds pretty nice. So nice Lexi''s almost content to let the impending deadline of her 25th birthday pass and lose access to her magic altogether - especially if it saves her from succumbing to the same sticky fate as her mother and grandmother.
But only almost. After all, being wicked is a choice, isn't it?
First, her witch-nemesis, Serena Snodgrass, starts making a play to become the next Keeper of the Flame, a notion that makes Lexi want to throw up all over her bespoke Gucci boots. Then, a formerly happy client gets dumped unexpectedly by her supposedly unbreakable match, leaving Lexi certain there's something more sinister at work than a simple change of heart.
As she kicks the search for her missing legacy into high gear, Kin's ever-present handful of groupies turns into a horde of crazed fans vying for his attention--one that won't take no for an answer. Kin might want to prove he's the one to break her cycle of bad dating luck, but Lexi's starting to worry the only thing he'll be breaking is her heart.
Now, Lexi must confront her fears, dig deep into her own past, and unearth forgotten secrets if she wants to break free from her family's shadow and carve out her own fate.
