Beatrice Clayborn is a sorceress who practices magic in secret. She dreams of becoming a full-fledged Magus and pursuing magic as her calling as men do, but her family has other plans. Beatrice finds a grimoire that contains the key to becoming a Magus, but a rival sorceress gets it first. Beatrice summons a spirit to help her get it back, but her new ally exacts a price: Beatrice's first kiss with her adversary's brother, the handsome, compassionate, and fabulously wealthy Ianthe Lavan. The more Beatrice is entangled with the Lavan siblings, the harder her decision becomes: If she casts the spell to become a Magus, she will devastate her family and lose the only man to ever see her for who she is; but if she marries she will sacrifice her magic, her identity, and her dreams.
