FIFTEEN

Eden was on her feet and over on the other side of the room so fast it could have been some kind of a record.

"You know who this woman is?" she asked.

Nancy nodded. "Of course I do. Doesn't everyone?" "Well, I don't. Who is she?"

"Selina Shaw."

"Who is Selina Shaw?"

"Only the coolest writer on the planet."

"She's a writer? Like a novelist?"

"No, no. She writes books that empower women and help them find their inner strength and harmony."

"She writes self-help books?" Eden asked carefully, thinking she might be misunderstanding.

"Not self-help," Nancy said it as if it was an insult. "Her books transcend self-help. Selina Shaw is the Love Witch. I heard she even trademarked the phrase."

"Love Witch," Darrak repeated dryly.

Nancy turned to him and her eyes widened. "Well, hello there. I don't think we've met."

"I'm Darrak. Eden's . . . brother." He extended his hand.

She gripped it tightly. "Wow. Okay, hi. I'm Nancy. It's really great to meet you. I mean, really great. I didn't know Eden had a brother. Do you live in the city? I haven't seen you around before."

"I'm just . . . visiting."

"That's great. With your . . . wife? Your girlfriend, maybe?"

"Uh . . ." He disengaged his hand from her grasp. "Neither, actually."

"Oh, that's very interesting."

"Nancy," Eden interrupted. "Tell me more about this love witch."

She reluctantly moved her appreciative gaze away from Darrak. "She's not a real witch, of course. But she may as well be. She's worked her magic on me whenever I read one of her books. I left my lousy husband thanks to her advice. It's like she's speaking directly to me through her books." She smiled and her eyes flicked back to the demon. "And yes, I'm still single. I'm just saying."

Eden could barely breathe. She went back to her desk and computer keyboard where she typed Selina Shaw into Google search.

It yielded 1.5 million hits. The first one being her official website.

Click.

And there she was. A sexy woman, smiling wickedly out at her. Dark flowing hair, perfectly styled. Black-ringed vividly green eyes. Full pink lips. She looked like a movie star, only she wasn't. She was a self-help guru, and her moniker the Love Witch was there as a flourishly designed logo, along with her two most recent releases, Curse That Creep Right Out of Your Life, and Hocus-Pocus Is the New Black.

Both of which featured Selina's perfect, smiling face and ample cleavage on the cover.

"So are you going, or what?" Nancy asked.

"Going where?" Eden replied, feeling stunned. One moment she felt that she'd never find this woman, and the next . . . she couldn't believe she'd never heard of her. She was a number one New York Times best-selling author, for Pete's sake.

"To the reading tonight."

"I . . . uh," Eden blinked rapidly. "Where is she going to be?"

"At the World's Biggest Bookstore on Edward Street."

"What time?"

"Seven thirty. I'm going earlier so I can get a seat. So exciting. I can barely wait."

Eden just stared at her, stunned.

Nancy shifted her feet in a nervous manner.
