But a secret war rages as those who want to rule the Mortalworld seek to destroy the Tree. Only the Immortal Keepers stand in their way.Sim Morris, single mother and self-acknowledged control freak, followed her intuition to buy a run-down hotel in a sleepy country town in Gippsland, Australia. But the locals have a secret that will keep her awake at night, including their irresistible police detective. Trusting friendship more than romance, Sim refuses to acknowledge their simmering chemistry.Witch by birth and cop by choice, Nate Jones is dedicated to balancing his craft and work. Looking after his town-including their stubborn, bewitching new publican-is his priority, and why he's refusing the call of the World Tree to become an Immortal Keeper.When Sim's intuition explodes into outright magic and their chemistry ignites, Nate is thrilled-and wary. Sim's magic is unlike any other. But when the World Tree faces annihilation, threatening everything and everyone they love, how can Nate convince Sim to embrace their connection and overcome her fears in time to save them all?
