Muriel Spark is prophesied to be the most powerful witch seen in centuries of the famed Spark
family. While she excels at nature magic she sucks at the flashy skills her controlling mother
Diantha values like summoning and transmogrification. If she can't improve in those areas
Diantha won't pay for Muriel's graduate degree in herbology. Muriel prefers baking to brewing
potions and gardening to casting hexes but for the sake of her degree she agrees to practice.
When a spell to summon flour goes very wrong though Muriel finds herself staring down a
demon--one she inadvertently summoned for a soul bargain. Ozroth the Ruthless is a legend among
demons. Cold powerful and merciless he drives hard bargains to collect the emotion- and
magic-filled mortal souls that power the demon plane. But his reputation has suffered ever
since a bargain gone awry left Ozroth with a human soul planted in his chest--a soul that makes
him emotionally unstable and no longer quite so ruthless. If he can strike a bargain with
Muriel Ozroth will earn back his deadly reputation. But the witch is funny. And curvy. And
disgustingly--endearingly--cheerful. Ozroth can't leave Muriel's side until they complete a
bargain which she refuses to do (turns out some humans are attached to their souls). Becoming
awkward roommates quickly escalates when Diantha stops by and Muriel terrified to confess to
the inadvertent summoning blurts out that she's dating the demon. As Ozroth and Muriel
struggle with their opposing goals and maintaining the appearance of a fake relationship real
attraction blooms between them. But Ozroth has a limited amount of time to strike the deal and
if Muriel gives up her soul she'll lose all her emotions--including love.
