Every witch knows the rules: Stick to your own kind. Never reveal your powers to outsiders. Take a consort from the witching families or kiss your magic good-bye forever.For years I've been quiet, obedient Rose Hallowell. I accepted the man my stepmother chose for me. But I never stopped missing my long-ago friends: brilliant Kyler, stoic Seth, passionate Jin, daredevil Damon, and Gabriel, whose self-assured warmth brought us all together.Now we're back on my childhood estate to arrange my marriage. The boys I grew up with? They're still in town--and they haven't forgotten me either. And damn if they haven't grown up well.They've got no magic, no place in my life. But they're charming and sweet and infuriatingly hot, and I can't seem to stay away. The more I try to resist, the more secrets I uncover about my family, my betrothal, and everything I thought was true about the witching world.I've been lied to. I've been betrayed. So to claim my magic and my happiness, I'll break every rule there is--and then some.Don't mess with this witch. Every rose has thorns.
