Jasper's Bluff

Dark magic. An old debt. And the one woman he can’t afford to love. Jasper Velasco’s luck is about to run out.

His family traded away their dark magic several generations ago in exchange for a place in Belle Hollow. When his dreams came crashing down, Jasper cut a deal with a witch in the next town over. Her last name was Velasco… she couldn’t be all bad, could she?

He was warned, he’d owe her. So he hasn’t gotten involved with anyone—even Delanie Goodman who’s had a crush on him since grade school. Too focused on his career and his rising star anyway, he’s stayed away. No need to tie anyone else into the spell he stitched himself into.

But when the call comes that his favor is due, it’s right as Delanie decides to finally make her move. If he breaks and tells her everything, he’ll have to admit his only talent and all his success, is actually from a spell he brokered a decade ago. But Delanie has a battle of her own to win, and she’s not going to make this easy on him.

Can Jasper fight magic coming at him from both directions? And when he realizes that holding Delanie at arms length is more than he can withstand, will his feelings for her doom them both?

In Belle Hollow, magic always finds a way to settle old scores.
