Blurb:

Riley Monroe has a pretty normal life, well, as normal as it gets being a human living in a world where magic can exist freely.

She’s been surrounded by magic users her whole life to the point that she hardly notices anything abnormal in her quaint suburb. She didn’t expect her world to change the night she meets River St. James at a bar. He’s charming, confident, and just so happens to be able to read her mind.

The tattooed telepath piques her interest, even when he tells her he’s a student at the institution where her father works: the notorious Mystic Riegan University, a school that caters to both humans and magic wielders.

When a mysterious tragedy strikes and Riley’s world is turned upside down, she is left with more questions than answers. She’ll have to take matters into her own hands to find the truth, starting with enrolling at Mystic Riegan. However, flying under the radar won’t be as easy as Riley hoped when she catches the attention of not only River’s best friend, Grayson but also his older brother, Asher.

Riley begins to unravel secrets within the seemingly prestigious university, discovering that some puzzles are better left unsolved. As truths began to surface, Riley will begin to question her new university friends while seeking help from others…including the three men that don’t mind sharing.
