Facing exploitation by her family, Letishia makes a deal with Greg: her magic for his protection, sealing their pact with a loveless contract marriage. However, Greg, who once hated her, now seems madly in love. Letishia must discover if his intense affection is genuine or merely the Mark's insidious influence.
