 About This Book
 
 Her psychic skills must be on the fritz again...there’s no way that she’s about to fall in love with a wolf!
 Meri’s family has always been a little bit different. The daughter of a witch and a psychic, she frequently has visions of the future. Unfortunately, they’re seldom very helpful. Want to know if something bad will happen tomorrow? Don’t ask her. But if you’re looking for your lost keys, Meri’s your girl. 
 Most of her visions don’t come true, so when she sees herself curled up with a hot older guy who likes to howl at the moon, she figures it’s just another useless psychic flash.
 Preston never asked to be a wolf shifter, but now that the billionaire CEO is stuck in the paranormal world, he figures he might as well learn how to make the best of it. He thinks he’s adjusting well, until his wolf charges at a woman who he learns is his fated mate. She’s nothing like the women he normally dates, but the curvy little psychic is about to turn his world upside down...
 They say opposites attract, but can this unlikely pair really find true love?
 Author’s note: An earlier version of this story appeared in the limited edition anthology, “Lunar Rising”, which is no longer in publication.

 For everyone who believes in magic. I do too.
 Chapter 1
 Meri
 “Why do I let you talk me into this? I hate running.”
 I rolled my eyes at my melodramatic sister.
 “Because you’re thirty-five years old now Peppermint. You need to keep yourself healthy.”
 “I wouldn’t need to run if I had a mate like Cami. I could be having hot monkey sex all day instead.” She sighed loudly. “My Goddess, I’m so tired. How far have we gone?”
 I glanced at my Garmin watch. “Just under a mile.”
 “I need to walk for a few minutes.”
 We slowed down just in time for the familiar feeling of a vise gripping my head in anticipation of a psychic flash. I stopped walking, holding my head between my hands as the vision came. It was me, sleeping, with a gray-muzzled wolf curled around me. The same wolf I’d been dreaming about for the past few weeks.
 “What is it, Meri?” Pepper asked. “What do you see?”
 I shook my head. “Nothing that makes sense.”
 That was true with about half of my visions. We came from a magical family. My mother was a strong witch, and my father was a well-known psychic. Unfortunately, their skills were diluted with their children. Our oldest sister Cami had some magic powers, but it was mostly things like starting fires and moving pencils. If she had to do something more complicated, she usually messed it up.
 I’d inherited some of Dad’s psychic powers. I had a vision at least once a day, and sometimes they were spot on. But often they either made no sense or they were something useless, like a vision of why the neighbor’s cat was injured or a premonition about rain. If only I’d have a vision of the winning lottery numbers...
 Poor Pepper had no powers at all. She was just a plain old human, and it bugged the hell out of her, as if being the middle sister wasn’t hard enough.
 “Come on Turmeric,” Pepper said, calling me by my full name. “What was it?”
 As if being the town weirdos wasn’t enough, our parents had saddled us with ridiculous names. My oldest sister Cami’s real name was Chamomile, Pepper’s real name was Peppermint, and mine was Turmeric. Needless to say, I preferred to be called Meri.
 “I saw an older wolf, sleeping next to me,” I admitted, knowing exactly where Pepper’s mind would go.
 “Oh for Goddess sake, are you going to get a mate now too? What happened to that guy you saw with me? I’m destined to be alone, aren’t I?”
 Last year our oldest sister Cami had done a love spell to help Pepper find a mate. Right afterwards, I saw a vision of a wolf. It turned out to be Stephen, coming to find his fated mate. Unfortunately for Pepper, he was meant to be with Cami, not her. I’d later seen a vision of Pepper telling us that
