However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses. It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work. And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.

This entertaining series launch introduces readers to a witch living in contemporary Oxford, England, who makes up for a lack of discipline with smarts, talent, and a dry wit. Twenty-seven-year-old Ivy Wilde was expelled from her training at the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment for disobedience. Eight years after her expulsion, Ivy is mistakenly bound by the Order to a disarmingly attractive but frustratingly pragmatic Order detective, Raphael Winter. Both are unhappy with being forced to work together by this turn of events, but the magic that binds them together cannot be broken for at least three months. For their first assignment, they’re tasked with finding a thief who stole a valuable artifact from the Order. Saucy, unconventional Ivy and by-the-book Rafael often clash but have great chemistry. The imaginative worldbuilding, mystery, and sexy tension between the leads helps create an entertaining story. Readers will be eager for the sequel.
