Rowan Campbell has a stalker. Only her magic can stop him.
Her stalker's obsession goes beyond Rowan's natural beauty: he wants to control the magic she struggles to admit she possesses. More than anything, Rowan longs for normalcy. But the stalker's unlimited resources and unrelenting pursuit force her to accept that leaning into her magic is the only path to a chance to free herself. Angry and desperate, Rowan builds a plan to break free of her pursuer that requires her to come out of hiding, return home to America, and learn to use her inherited abilities. To do so, she'll enlist the help of her white hat hacker brother, Griff, and her aunt, the only living connection to her magic. Before she's ready to face her stalker, Rowan must evade capture, learn about her magical legacy, and accept that she can only prevail if she believes in herself and embraces her power.
Wired For Magic is the fast-paced story of a woman's journey to come to terms with her personal power in a battle for her life, freedom, and the chance to open a path to love.

"Harry Potter meets Taken in this grown-up, high-tech thriller. Author Janet Roberts cleverly injects magic and romance into the world of cybersecurity." Ann Howley, author
"The story combines this cat-and-mouse game with Rowan's journey to understand and accept her power, and be transformed by it, into an independent, ass-kicking, witchy woman who is strengthened by the support of the strong women who came before her." Heather Martin, author
"Full of surprise twists, this page-turning fantasy, action-adventure, and women's fiction novel is, at heart, about the enduring love of family: the strong bond between siblings and between mothers and daughters." Jill Caugherty, author
"If you like a mix of high-stakes suspense, modern tech, and a heroine learning to embrace her power, you'll probably really enjoy this one.
