The Witch of Wall Street - by M J Etkind (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When Nelson unexpectedly woos Miriam at a benefit, they reconnect in a night of ill-advised passion. Due to a bit of chaotic magical misfortune, Nelson and Miriam are forced into a supernatural quest across New York City. Miriam's chaotic magic only seems to muck up their adventure as they encounter an enchanted dumpling house, a Jinn who runs a CPA firm, and a poisonous leather shop in Little Italy. Lucky for her, Nelson can right it all with a wave of his hand. Through their unlikely partnership, Miriam finds herself unexpectedly attracted to the altruist. Their budding affection makes Miriam begin to wonder if she can stand by and watch her firm crush the dreams of the wizard who miraculously stole her heart.

Miriam Blum is a witch with a prestigious finance job. Independent to the core, she has mastered her chaotic magic and excelled at her high-powered career. Her personal life, not so much. She practically lives at the office with little time for anything or anyone. Though, she occasionally allows herself some fun, like turning her coworkers' computer mice into the live furry version.

Nelson Copperfield has always been the golden boy, do-gooder, and the wizard of small miracles. He also happens to be Miriam's high school rival. Nelson has always been the type to lend a magical helping hand. Much to Miriam's self-sufficient consternation, she was often on the receiving end of these little miracles when they were younger. It was unsurprising to Miriam to learn Nelson found a career in nonprofit work. She is highly skeptical of people who help for a living, sure of an alternative motive.
