Things are not always what it seems and the average New Yorker would be shocked to know that there is an entire magical world living amongst them.  Lola Ravensworth was born into a magical family, her mother being a witch and she was born with powerful magical capability.  However, she chooses not to live the life she is supposedly destined to and she chooses to attempt to create and live a relatively normal life with her father, in New York.  Her mother is not entirely happy with her decision and neither is the Council of Magic but they let her live her life as she pleases until they have a mission for her - they need her to find a man called Marcus Swan.Marcus is an orphan and also has magical powers but he has no real idea about his heritage and about the magical world.  He has led a tough life but is now extremely successful, even though he always feels that he is lacking something... Lola is sent to find Marcus and bring him back to the Council.  Little does she know, this is a specific plot to reconnect Lola and Marcus, who are soul mates.This is the first part of a four part series and this gives Sandra Ross the space to gradually and deliciously unfurl the characters and the story line.  This is a story about love and soul mates but it is from a different angle and is mixed with magic - literally and figuratively.  I haven't read the other three books yet but I cannot wait, this first part is intense fore play for a beautiful love story with some kind of dramatic twist.
