"A perfect blend of cozy and heist!. . . I loved it!" --Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times-bestselling author of The Spellshop

Dani Lionet is no stranger to working hard. But now she's attending her dream magic university, and must manage classes, shifts at the local cafe, and maintaining her partial scholarship--all while trying to keep her unique ability under wraps. That way, no one else can take advantage of it like her parents used to. So when a visiting professor calls Dani out on her ability, she's terrified.

Yet, it seems Professor Silva just wants to pay Dani to use it to investigate a soon-to-be-released lucid dreaming product with horrible side effects. Dani is hesitant, but she needs the money, and it would help her new friend who was part of the product's clinical trials. Plus, she has a swoony distraction in Kass, a mage and her endearingly cute new regular at work. . .even if she can't tell him about her ability or extracurricular activities. The fact that he seems just as interested in her is very uncharted territory for Dani since, thanks to her parents, she's never lived in one place long enough to have a real crush.

Can Dani help with the professor's "group project," learn to embrace her ability, and get to know Kass? Or will it all fall apart before the semester is over?
