Captivating Magic — T.M. Cromer

Embittered warlock, Laszlo Thorne is saddled with the unique ability to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. It's a secret he guards closely to avoid novice paranormal hunters and charlatans alike. But when his sister's adorably quirky friend shows up and asks for an exorcism, he can't turn her away. After a near-fatal accident, Ebba James is haunted by an apparition that blurs the lines of her reality. She's not convinced it isn't a figment of her overactive imagination. When she accidentally discovers the object of her embarrassing schoolgirl infatuation can communicate with the other side, she seeks Laszlo's help. Amidst vengeful spirits and enigmatic mysteries, Ebba's decade-long crush fades and is replaced by a passion neither of them can deny. Unable to fight her captivating magic, Laszlo, once emotionally closed off, opens to the possibility of a second chance at happiness. Together, they navigate the shadowy depths of the supernatural, unveiling long-buried secrets that are better left alone.
