"In case you’re wondering why on Earth Gomez was trusting me and actually leaving me alone unsupervised, it’s because he didn’t have a choice." When Ace Harley is left in charge of The Black Tarot, the magic shop where she works, she's thrilled. It's the perfect opportunity to show her boss that she's a capable adult now, and not the careless screw-up he thinks she is. But then a desperate woman comes knocking on the shop's doors in the middle of the night, begging for help, and Ace can't help but wonder if she was more excited than she should have been. // A novella from the House of Voices series // This book does not affect any of the other full-length novels //
