Just a Little Wicked (Wicked Sisters #2)

Winter Celeste has spent a lifetime suppressing the horrors of Sight, her particular Wicked talent. She may be Wicked, but she will never embrace the burden passed to the women in her family. When her avoidance tactics fail and she becomes caught in a nightmarish vision of the future, Winter is devastated to learn her sisters’ lives are in jeopardy. The Shadow Council, a ruthless assassin squad, is desperate to recruit Winter—the strongest Seer to exist in centuries—and they’ll use any means necessary to secure her compliance.

Winter can’t work for the soulless council that murdered her mother. In an effort to alter the future, she takes off for the Maine coast. Hopping from one picturesque town to another, she figures if the Shadow Council can’t find her, they can’t offer her the job, and her family won’t have to suffer the consequences of her turning them down. Perfect logic.

Until it isn’t.

When the Shadow Council tracks Winter to the coast, they give her four days to make her decision. If she accepts the position her sisters’ lives will be spared. If not . . .

Famous TV ghost hunter, Erikson Grimm, is used to hunting the paranormal, he just never thought he’d be chasing after Winter Celeste. Finding her is a favor to his brother. A huge favor. Winter has the spirit of a warrior crammed into the body of a fairy, and there’s no one she dislikes more than Erikson. Case in point: when Erikson shows up on her lobstering boat, the first thing she does is pitch him overboard.

Erikson’s unexpected arrival is a snag in Winter’s plans, but when his touch triggers a vision about a powerful Witch who may hold the key to stopping the Shadow Council, Winter realizes she needs the help of America’s favorite ghost-hunting playboy after all. Except the more time she spends with Erikson, the more she realizes he isn’t what he presents to the world. He makes her laugh when she’s grown accustomed to frowning, he keeps her off-kilter with outrageous comments, and he’s unfailingly loyal. If Winter isn’t careful, she might fall for a man she knows her curse will never allow her to keep.

When Winter and Erikson’s leads collide and they learn what the Shadow Council is scheming, they pull together a risky plan. Winter is determined to change the future, even if it means doing the one thing she’s always fought against: embracing her Wickedness.
