Small Magick
by Liddy Midnight

Drey comes from a long line of powerful mages. She laments that she has naught but small magick related to healing. Her life changes the day she discovers a magical circle near her cottage. For the first time, she concentrates on celebration and not her goal—and somehow manages to summon a wind spirit in a very appealing male form. Cyrus believes Drey has bound him to pleasure her, and devotes himself to the task. The sensual experiences offered by his mortal body delight him, as does his beguiling mage. For a time, he is content to discover the mortal world and all it has to offer. As lust leads to love, one problem remains—Drey has no idea how to reverse the spell she unknowingly wrought. Cryus is trapped in her world. To free him, she is willing to do anything, even apprentice herself to an unknown mage with an agenda of his own.

Liddy Midnight's Bio

Liddy Midnight lives, loves, works and writes in the woods in eastern Pennsylvania, surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife. Although raccons, posssums, skunks and the occasional fox eat the cat food on her back porch, she's no more than half an hour away from some of the finest shopping in the country. In this best of all possible worlds, how could she write anything other than romance?
