Some fates are harder to avoid than others.

When your family legacy comes with a body count and a curse that turned Grandma into a lawn ornament, believing you're normal isn't really an option.

Lexi's badass witch ancestors were long revered as Keepers of the Balefire Flame-until a family feud pitted her mother and grandmother against one another. Their infamous magical battle didn't just destroy each other; it turned the Balefire name into a punchline, leaving Lexi to tend the hearth alone.

The problem? Lexi's never unlocked more than a whisper of power, one she credits for crafting unbreakable happily-ever-afters for her matchmaking clients, but it's useless for much else. When it comes to the Balefire, her three well-meaning but troublesome faerie godmothers do all the heavy lifting.

It's a good thing Lexi's got a closet full of designer boots and a magical knack for creating romance out of thin air, because her own love life? A total dumpster fire.

That is until she meets Kin Clark, a handsome, charismatic musician with a smile that could melt steel and realizes her secret romantic fantasy might have just come true. Kin wants nothing more than to give her the happily-ever-after she's never truly believed a wicked Balefire witch deserved-no magic required.

Contented with Kin and her new romance, Lexi is almost willing to allow her looming Awakening deadline slip past, lose access to her magic, and let the fireplace grow cold.

But only almost.

When her former BFF turned arch-nemesis, Serena Snodgrass, starts dropping hints about buried secrets in the Balefire family saga, and a supposedly unbreakable match between clients falls apart, Lexi kicks the search for her missing legacy into high gear. As her magic stirs to life, so does trouble, and things go from zero to what-the-spell faster than you can say, "family drama."

With the threads of her family's past unraveling, Lexi must confront her fears, embrace her magic, and claim her birthright-or lose everything to the flames.

Because when you're Cupid's daughter, sometimes you don't just weave romantic fates-you tie them into knots. And if Lexi can't untangle them, the Balefire flame-and her future with Kin-might burn out for good.
