In this bewitching romance that follows a magical meet-cute gone awry, two reluctant soulmates are forced into a live streaming matchmaking competition--and are determined to fail spectacularly.
If there are two things massage therapist Cristina Palmer is done with, it's men (thanks to her manipulative ex) and magic (it can make a girl lose control). All she wants is to run the spa at the new Summit resort, make her clay figurines, and avoid her frustratingly attractive boss, Rhett Maddox.
Unfortunately, magic has other plans.
To boost publicity, the resort is hosting the very first magical matchmaking competition in Mystic Meadows. But when Rhett and Cristina are paired as supposedly perfect soulmates, they're determined to prove the magic wrong. Six weeks of live stream challenges designed to make them fall in love? Easy. They'll simply fail.
Except their chemistry is anything but fake.
And the stakes aren't, either. A six-figure grand prize could bring Cristina's manipulative family crashing back into her life--and getting close to Rhett means risking her heart all over again.
Because the real challenge isn't the competition.
It's trusting each other.
And maybe--just maybe--embracing the magic.
