  Drake Winston was dealing with the biggest struggle of his life. At risk of
  losing the one thing he valued most in the world, he didn’t have time for
  romantic pursuits. Then he met Antonia Hendricks. His online profile allowed
  him a chance to show a side of himself he hadn’t shared with another in years.
  Her smile, her sweetness and her faith in a friendship forged in a chat forum
  shakes his world.
  
  
  
  
  
  Drake knows he should be honest. He should leave the curvy sweetheart alone
  and stay far away. But someone else is interested in his Antonia and Drake
  will sacrifice anything to see her come through unharmed. Even if it means
  giving up his magic.
