Daria Morgan is a magic practitioner, one of a group of people who uses magic and spells to do their everyday jobs. Her job: A management consultant. John \"Bent\" Benthausen is a CEO who, despite every improvement in product and production, can\'t get his bottom line out of the Red Sea. He needs a management consultant. With her special gifts, Daria gets right to the heart of her employer\'s problem — crooked employees. Crooked, vicious, employees who are now out to get Daria. Those are just problems one and two. Problem three: There is an ancient force, an irresistible compulsion, called the soul-mate imperative. It\'s known throughout the practitioner ranks for bringing together magic-users and their mates in a lifelong bond. And it won\'t be happy until the participants surrender to the inevitable the oldest kind of magic.
