A good girl, a bad boy, and the fire living inside him.

Chad Wendig knows he can do better than bouncing, after all, he's got a supernatural gift. If the fire inside hadn't scared off everyone he knew and loved, maybe he'd find it easier to get out of the rut he's found himself in. When he meets beautiful Angelica, an earnest and sweet Canadian antique-hunter, he jumps at the opportunity to learn a new trade and just maybe, change his life for the better.

What Chad didn't count on was meeting another fire mage, a stronger, smarter, faster, more experienced supernatural with all the debonair clothes and manner of a true aristocrat. At a snobby antiques auction...in a huge old mansion...full of wood and other burnables.

Meeting Basil Chaplin—founder of Arcturus Academy, a secret school for fire magi—means Chad had better bring his A-game.
