I close my eyes trying to savour the bliss of a nice hot shower when my thoughts are interrupted by noise down the hall.
I finish rinsing the soap out of my hair and body, as I search for my towel. My hand gropes the towel rack and I come up empty. I open the curtain, slightly, to see that I didn't take a towel with me.
Suddenly, there is a thud, closer to the bathroom than before. My eyes widen and my head shoots up to look at the door.
"M-mom...?" I ask, barely above a whisper.
I grab a dirty shirt from the hamper, not bothering to turn the shower off.
I hear more ruckus coming closer to the door.

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
