her bags and prepares to find them herself.

nurtures the witches. Jasper prides himself on the total
control he maintains over the coven. He has never had an
attraction toward any in his care, except Madeline. His
feelings for Madeline have long been conflicted. Jasper
sees a gentleness and hope in her that he has never
experienced. He longs for her, but believes she sees him as
just another obstacle in her life. When Madeline asks for
help, he is placed in an untenable situation. His superiors
will not consent to her involvement. Jasper has no choice
but to deny her.
Fury at Jasper's lack of feeling for the women, Miranda
sets up her own residence to find information. With her
abilities changing, Madeline needs oversight. Jasper
attempts to keep Madeline safe while contending with his
superiors. Sparks fly as she visualizes what lies between
them and Jasper continues to deny her.
