Everyone around me gets hurt. I hate the thought of leaving my friends alone, but the Winterwood Academy is no longer a safe haven for me. Everybody thinks that I’m dead and I want to keep it that way before the one who put me six feet under learns that I’m back from the dead. But before I have time to escape, the arrival of my father and the Witch Council brings a whole new set of troubles my way. Not only am I to discover that I have a twin sister, but someone I trusted has betrayed me. I have to get away from this cursed academy. An inexperienced witch like me wouldn’t last long in the real world. I’m glad Merrin found me a place to stay with a nice old lady and a seriously hot grandson -- Matthew. Stay low, resist the urge to tell someone I care that I’m alive, and don’t draw attention to myself. That’s what I should do. It shouldn’t be hard, but nothing in my life is ever easy. A crazy attraction for Matthew and bumping into an old friend and my former nemesis at a party are the least of my problems. Add an almost deadly werewolf attack, a sexy hunter with a short temper, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster. How am I supposed to get my life together when everything just keeps exploding in my face?

“I could have handled it myself,” I assured him. The last thing I wanted was for this big head to see me as a damsel in distress.
