Julia Candela has always been the dependable, responsible older sister. But when a series of traumatic events leave her life in shambles, a volatile magical power surfaces. One she'd long forgotten about and doesn't want.
Struggling to control her abilities, she turns to Lucas, a witch whose unconventional methods for healing both fascinate and confuse her. Julia’s skepticism is challenged as Lucas teaches her to harness her power through dance. As they spend more time together, their connection deepens, and Julia can’t ignore the way Lucas makes her feel.
With the magic growing between them, Julia’s fears do as well. The ghosts of the past haunt her and she fears she may never find the strength to confront her trauma before it destroys everything she’s worked so hard to rebuild.
