Some fates are harder to avoid than others. Raised by three faerie godmothers who throw magic around like it's biodegradeable confetti, matchmaker witch Lexi Balefire has always known she's not quite normal. Plus, you can't grow up down the street from where, smack in the act of murdering your mother, your grandmother was turned into a stone statue, and still think you're just like everyone else on the block. For centuries, Lexi's badass witch ancestors were revered as Keepers of the Balefire - an ehchanted flame that feeds the magic of all witchkind. But then her her mother and grandmother went wicked and destroyed each other - and the family's good name. Outcast and lacking guidance, Lexi's never unlocked more than the whisper of power she credits for her ability to make unbreakable love matches, and tending to the hearth is starting to feel like a second full-time job. One with long hours and lousy benefits. Enter handsome charismatic musician Kin Clark, who wants to give Lexi the happily-ever-after she's never truly believed a wicked Balefire witch deserved. The idea of settling down and having a family and a normal life with Kin sounds so nice she's almost content to let the impending deadline of her 25th birthday pass and lose access to her magic altogether. But only almost. After all, being wicked is a choice, isn't it? When a formerly happy client gets dumped unexpectedly by her supposedly unbreakable match, Lexi's certain there's something more sinister at work than a simple change of heart - and kicks the search for her missing leagacy into high gear. Now, Lexi must confront her fears, dig deep into her own past, and unearth forgotten secrets if she wants to break free from her family's shadow and carve out her own fate.
