Miss Fortune

Publisher Marketing: Jumping feet first into magic might not be the best idea, but when Veronica realizes how much she needs to learn, that's exactly what happens. She's just discovered that she comes from a long line of witches. . .and has werewolves in her family tree, too. Since her parents kept her in the dark about their heritage for so long, Veronica has a lot of catching up to do. Her best friend Tango, who's just found out is also her familiar, is supposed to be teaching her about magic. But he's gone for the summer, working offshore, leaving Veronica to take lessons from Minette, witch-cousin of their friend Remy. To further complicate matters, Veronica and Remy are bound to each other. While that's just fine with Remy, Veronica needs some time to get used to the idea, even if she is attracted to the hot werewolf. When trouble arrives, it comes in a group of three: first, Tango needs help raising money for college, so Veronica and her friends open a voodoo shop to make some quick cash selling spells and charms. Second, someone in Remy's family of weres is trying to destroy the bond between Remy and Veronica, forcing them to be apart for most of the summer. And then there's the little matter of the odd vampire who insists on Veronica telling her fortune. . .and who just might not like what she hears. Veronica's going to learn that magic can come with a side of misfortune. This is the sequel to the short story Miss Stake
