Essence of the Witch

Miranda Moon has been cursed. Ever since she had the misfortune to come in contact with a crude love spell, she's had one bad date after another. After lighting a man's hair on fire and ending up on a blind date with her cousin, she's ready to lose herself in the books she writes and live her life as a spinster... until Gideon Alexander, the one man she's always wanted, walks back into her life.
Gideon Alexander doesn't date. He's already found the one and lost her. But when he's asked to plan the Keating Hollow Christmas ball with his old friend Miranda Moon, suddenly he finds himself breaking his own rules. Maybe dating the sexy author is just what his scarred heart needs. The only problem? Miranda's curse has the potential to destroy their relationship before it ever begins.
