How do I prepare for a battle where my life is the least of what is at stake? There is so much to lose, and I'm frightened. For the first time in my life... I'm afraid for our future. - Aradia

Emerald Stone denied her magic until a desperate call from her beloved grandmother sends her on a cross-country adventure. It's the perfect excuse to walk away from a stalled career and a man who turned out to be an anchor rather than a romantic interest.

When she finally parks in front of her family's mystical shop, Ema is running on empty. The first person she sees is Josh Bennett. The only thing worse than staring at him like a lovesick teenager is falling into the street at his feet. The whole scene makes her look as though she's channeling a slutty version of Lucille Ball. Yes, indeed, just another day in the sitcom life and times of Emerald Stone, super klutz.

The battle over the crystal cavern beneath her family's store has been escalating, but her return sends everything spiraling out of control.

Sheriff Joshua Bennett can see Ema Stone is running on fumes, but she is still the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. A call from a Kansas patrolman alerted him to her impending arrival, but nothing could have prepared him for seeing her again.

Josh doesn't believe in magic, but there is no denying Emerald Stone is special in too many ways to count. From the moment she tumbles out of her car, Josh knows Crystal, Colorado, will never be the same.
