title: Something Like Magic
author: Payne, Max C.
description: John Cunningham is a private investigator looking into the disappearance of his friend's son, but he hits a roadblock because there's no evidence and the perpetrators are thought to have used magic. For assistance, he's pointed to magical consultant Orion Kensington, and asks for his help despite John's bad history with magic and reluctance to have anything to do with it. But as the case grows more dangerous, and his unexpected attraction to Orion stronger, John soon realizes it's his own reluctance and hesitation that might get them killed long before magic and demons do it.
