Currents of the Heart

by M.D. Neu

Regan Cruz thought grief was his greatest battle—until his late husband Max’s secrets shattered everything he believed about their life together in San Jose, California. When the family attorney calls him in, Regan learns that Max had been hiding a fortune in money and property. Even more shocking is a cryptic letter instructing him to visit a secluded cabin in Boulder Creek, California, where a journal and a man named Lutin will explain everything.

At the cabin, Regan encounters an eccentric old man who seems unhinged. Brushing off the bizarre meeting, he discovers Max’s journal, only to find claims that defy reason—Max’s family were Hereditary Witches, and Regan himself is an Elemental Witch. Feeling like the world has gone mad, Regan attempts to leave—until he meets a handsome man who introduces himself as Lutin. As inexplicable events continue to unfold around him, Regan begins to suspect that reality is far more magical than he ever imagined.

Can Regan, with Lutin’s guidance, control his newfound elemental powers before they consume him? As the two grow closer, will they remain strangers or become something more? And as Regan comes to terms with his abilities, he may realize there’s more than magic at play—it might be fate.
