No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The last thing a girl as awkward as Dani Gale should be doing is trying to learn the high wire. Yet thatβs exactly where Dani ends upβat OZ, the Oswald Zinzendorf School of Circus Arts. Trying to overcome her shyness is near impossible when her new partnerβthe hottest guy sheβs ever laid eyes on, and whose touch seems to give her poise she thought impossibleβalso seems to be sabotaging her progress.
The last thing Cai Coppersmith needs is a distraction, especially in the form of the new, cute shy girl. He needs to focus on trying not to shape-shift into a tiger on school grounds, and completing his mission to keep Dani from winning the schoolβs high-wire competition. In fact, the entire safety of OZ is relying on Dani not succeeding. But thereβs something about the girl that draws him in. She has magic, he can feel it. So heβll do what he can to protect her, even if it means pushing her away.

4 stars: "There is an art to subtly that not many authors have mastered, but Tawny Stokes totally hit it on the head in this story. I started reading, not realizing the extent that it played off of The Wizard of Oz, and I was thrilled with her way with words. This is NOT a re-telling of the classic novel, but it weaves in aspects of it in a completely captivating way. " -Heather Eager, author of Devil's Playground
