Wicked Lover — Michelle Howard

(Previously published as Taste of Wicked with minor changes)
Drake Winston was dealing with the biggest struggle of his life. At risk of losing the one thing he valued most in the world, he didn't have time for romantic pursuits. Then he met Antonia Hendricks. His online profile allowed him a chance to show a side of himself he hadn't shared with another in years. Her smile, her sweetness and her faith in a friendship forged in a chat forum shakes his world.
Drake knows he should be honest. He should leave the curvy sweetheart alone and stay far away. But someone else is interested in his Antonia and Drake will sacrifice anything to see her come through unharmed. Even if it means giving up his magic.
