A Touch Dazzled (Zodiac Cove #5)

Brooke Hudson has been desperate to use her magic since she first felt the earthquake and learned she was the descendant of Cancer. As the whimsical beekeeper and florist of the island, she’s always believed in the power of nature and the unexplainable. Unfortunately, fate paired her with the ultimate stoic grump and her complete opposite, the intimidating Cole Latham. And he doesn’t want anything to do with Brooke or magic.

Cole has spent his life being groomed to be the head of the Latham family and CEO of their sprawling empire. A Capricorn to his core, Cole considers himself the most grounded of the earth signs and has no time for the humor, light, and love that are so much a part of his brothers’ lives. He wants to work, go home, and generally be left alone to brood.

But when the curse traps the residents of Zodiac Cove on the island and blocks out the sun, work grinds to a halt, and surviving day-to-day while keeping the town from spiraling into panic becomes a new full-time job. When walking along the beach to escape the constant pressure, the curse attacks and tries to drag him into the ocean, making it clear he has no choice but to work with the pretty hippie who makes his blood run hot and flips his protective instincts into overdrive.

But neither is prepared for what their combined powers create, and they have no clue that they hold the key to unlocking another piece of the past. One that could change everything in the fight to save their island. If they can’t put their differences aside and learn how to lean on each other, all will be lost—because the curse is gearing up for the final phase and they no longer have any means of escape.
