Description:

When Jocelyn Weatherford is whisked away from a preparatory academy in upstate New York to live with her extended family in New Orleans, she is unprepared to encounter the dangers awaiting her. Yet even as she is thrust into an unfamiliar world of witches and voodoo magic, the greatest threat of all may be the boy she has fallen for.

While handsome and charming, he is also a Caldwell... a member of the family the Weatherford's have been feuding with for centuries. As their forbidden love grows it becomes the volatile spark that forever changes their world and everyone in it. 

The door closed before either of us spoke.
“I understand you have an injury,” she said, her voice free from nerves.
This was good because mine were in chaos.
Without waiting for me to respond, or even to tell her what had happened, she assessed me. Finding me favoring my arm, she took it and turned it for a closer inspection.
Her gaze was unperturbed as she took only a second to perform a cursory evaluation of it.
Then she did something that truly set my nerves on edge.
She released me, marched toward the phone, dialed, and after a brief pause, she announced, “It’s me. And it’s begun.”
Begun, I thought. What’s begun?
Remaining silent and listening for clues, I was disappointed when she didn’t speak again until after she set the receiver back in its cradle. Then she looked at me, her easygoing demeanor gone. “You’re going to need to pack your bags. You leave for New Orleans in fifteen minutes.” She gave me these instructions offhandedly, as if it were a foregone conclusion, as if I had some hand in making them.
“What?” I demanded the searing pain down my arm forgotten. “You have no right to make that decision. Who do you think you are?”
I was hoping my words would instill some sense of apprehension in her but she easily ignored them. Then she countered by delivering the news that would change my life forever.
“Jocelyn,” she said her tone steady and calculated. “You are in danger.”
