“Exactly. We understand each other well, that’s good. That’ll save a lot of time.”
“And why do you think this is a suitable test of my abilities?”
“Because when they put their heads together, they’re quite a coven. I need to know you’re able to stand against them.”
Caleb couldn’t help being curious. Just a little. “Do you expect me to need my magic to infiltrate them?”
“You have to prove yourself worthy to them, and in doing so you’ll prove yourself worthy to me.”
There was much more to it, he could tell. “By infiltrating a different ‘worthy’ coven, don’t you run the risk of losing me to them?”
She blinked, glanced away, and then looked back at him. “You’ll have failed the task if you did that, and you won’t find out what you need to know.”
The bait had been dangled. He could see she knew something. It glittered brightly at the back of her eyes.
“You’ll have to tell me more about them.”
“The less you know, the more natural it’ll seem.” She reached into her pocket and drew out a burner phone and a business card, setting them down on the coffee table.
Diamonds glittered across her fingers. The rings looked eerily like a knuckle duster. Caleb wondered if that was her intention.
“I’ll arrange for my driver to take you there tomorrow. Be ready to leave at five a.m. He’ll have you there by midday. I’ll tell you more once you’ve ingratiated yourself.” She waved her hand dismissively.
The meeting was over.
Caleb didn’t like her, and he didn’t like her attitude. But the need for knowledge hungered in him. He grabbed the phone and the card, and turned his back on her without saying a word.
Dimitri joined him as he strode back to the elevator.
Caleb shot him a warning glance.
Dimitri grinned.
Caleb shook his head. What the hell had he just agreed to?
Only when they got to the elevator did he look down at the card in his hand.
The Cauldron.

CHAOS IN THE COVEN
The paranormal heritage of Raven’s Landing is about to be torn apart for the sake of a documentary, throwing the local coven into chaos...
Aveline and Eben are devoted friends, but Eben wants more—and deep down, so does Aveline. Something in the past is holding them apart. Eben Ayotunde is a stoic, gifted male witch, one who learned of his magic in a baptism of fire in his homeland. He is humble and hardworking, but when provoked strikes like lightning, with fire and brimstone as his tools. Eben came to Raven’s Landing to be at one with people of his kind, but his attraction to Aveline allows him no peace. When she is threatened, there’s no other choice for Eben but to protect her—even if it risks the disapproval of the Witches Council, and the wrath of the Lord of the Underworld.
Aveline Pascoe, the respected local librarian, mourns the loss of the academic life she had before she learned she was magical, and that’s what’s holding her back from loving Eben. When Aveline’s ex arrives—a professor who scorns the supernatural—to take apart the mythology and folklore of Raven’s Landing, Aveline is forced to face her past, and defend what she has become. In doing so, she learns what is worth defending, and who is destined to be her true hero.
