When detective for hire, Ashira Cohen, was 13, her con artist father disappeared, leaving her with emotional scars and a limp she can't hide. But she toughened up, determined never to be played again. Is history repeating itself?

First, she's hit on the head during a stakeout, revealing a mysterious tattoo on the back of her skull. Even worse? It's a now-broken ward unleashing dangerous magic that as a Mundane, she shouldn't possess. 

Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him about her forbidden abilities, and everything she's built will be taken from her… by force.

The only bright spot is that Levi requires her supernatural skills, providing Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy every second of it.

The Jezebel Files

Levi's phone went to voicemail, so who did I want to call for his whereabouts? Evil or the lesser of evils? I wasn't up to sparring with Levi's pet dragon today, so lesser of evils it was. 


I hit speed dial. "Hello, Miles. It's your friendly neighborhood Jezebel." 


"And what had already been a stressful day has now devolved into an extremely shitty one. Wonderful," he said dryly.  


"Sadly, I think that's less a function of how delightful I am and more an issue that you need to get a life. Where's His Lordship?" 


"Hello? Miles?" I switched over to speaker phone, put my cell on my desk and clicked on my mouse to bring my laptop to life. What was a bamah?  


"You've gone out of your way to avoid him for two months," he said. "Why are you looking for him now?" 


"We talked about your unhealthy interest in my life. Also, I haven't gone out of my way to do anything where he's concerned. That would imply a level of caring I no longer possess."
