No matter where Gray ended up, she always managed to find herself inside Charlene’s bedchamber. This one was a great deal more luxurious than the French boarding school. Thanks to Hannah, Gray knew exactly where to search after Charlene went out for lunch and shopping: the penthouse at the Majestic.

Just follow the five stars.

The maids had already been through. The king-sized bed was neatly made with decorative satin pillows fluffed up against the headboard. Gray didn’t plan on disturbing them. She checked the nightstands.

Her first guess—Charlene’s luggage—had been a bust. She couldn’t imagine why Charlene wouldn’t tuck it away inside her belongings, but then, it’s not as though Gray knew the workings of her sister’s mind—twin or not.

The Wicked Witch of Washington. It always came back down to Charlene.

Hannah ransacked the bathroom while Gray moved onto the living room desk. Fresh flowers topped the desk. They were in every blasted room. Must be nice being the heir to a perfume fortune.

“Why would Charles put a love spell over you?” Hannah had asked when Gray told her the story over the phone.

“Because he’s a dick.”

Hannah hadn’t needed further convincing. The only part Gray left out was that “Charles” was a woman. Some things were just better left unsaid.

It all made sense now. Charlene making Gray believe she loved Adrian then waltzing in and telling her about their kiss. It was the only way to hurt her. Gray would have never cared if it hadn’t been for the spell. She’d ruined her summer at Benita’s and now Gray was stuck bunking in a hostel while Charlene had her own private terrace overlooking the Passeig de Gràcia. The miniature orange trees lining the patio were almost enough to send Gray over the edge.

She plucked one from its branch and stared over the latticed railing at the surrounding city. The fruit was probably turning to juice under the pressure of Gray’s hand. If only it was a meaningful object to Charlene. Gray would hex the orange and make her sister fall in love with Ryan Phillips. It would be a fitting payback and take care of the Ryan problem. If Charlene loved Ryan he’d stop bothering everyone else.

But it was thoughts like this that kept getting Gray into trouble.

She walked over to the patio couch and took a seat. Gray began peeling the orange and offered a slice to Hannah when she joined her outside.

“Any luck?” Hannah asked, taking a piece of orange.

Gray shook her head. Nor had she felt the spell intensify when she entered Charlene’s suite. If anything, she felt more annoyed than lovesick.

“Me neither,” Hannah said with a sigh. She flopped down on the chair across from Gray. “You should have told me you were under a spell, Gray.”

Gray dumped the orange peels on the coffee table. “I wanted to, and then Charles showed up. I’m sorry he got you involved in this.”

Hannah harrumphed. “We both got screwed. I reckon I got off easy. At least tell me your wizard was good.
