The Rival Heirs

Two rival magical families. Two heirs pretending to be normal. One rubber duck.Hazel Hawthorne is good at two things: corporate finance and accidentally turning office supplies into fruit. After losing a well-deserved promotion to "the synergy guy," she just wants to survive her new consultant assignment without any magical mishaps.Leo Vance is also good at two things: strategy consulting and producing inconvenient weather whenever he feels an emotion. His family assigned him to Sterling & Associates to "learn how real business works." He did not expect to be assigned to Hazel Hawthorne.Their families have been rivals for three generations. Their magic is wildly incompatible. And neither of them knows the other is magical-even as the rubber ducks, rogue rainbows, and heart-shaped clouds keep happening.Torn between century-old family loyalty and an attraction that feels suspiciously like destiny, Hazel and Leo must decide: keep pretending to be normal... or finally admit that the best magic happens when you least expect it."The best magic is the kind you do by accident, usually in front of someone you're trying to impress." - Marty Hawthorne, age 71, at bingo
