| Except for her fulfilling three-year run with her less-than-successful bookstore, Chelsea Mackenzie West has spent her entire life playing by her parent's rules. This "distraction" has been the one thing keeping her mind off of her true destiny - taking over her mother's throne as Queen of the Witches. Doing his best to destroy Chelsea's independence, Gabriel Chase and his company have been trying to buy the bookstore. Gabriel wants a huge restaurant and Chelsea just wants her simple bookstore. But with Chelsea's 30th birthday quickly approaching, her freedom is going to come to an abrupt end. She must marry a warlock that she has never met, but has been betrothed to for her entire life. It will just be another one of those "obligations" that her parents make her fulfill. Then one day a strange man walks into her store. Mark Benavides is not just any man, he is the one that could steal her heart and make her upcoming marriage even more of a horrible reality. Mark knows that Chelsea is his one true love, but he has some very disturbing secrets that could make her hate him forever.
A Love Not Lost is a Romeo and Juliet sort of story, but with a wicked twist. The multiple points of view allow the reader a surprising in-depth look at each character's motivations and inner turmoils. It also brings a very enriching multi-dimensionality to the story. Lena Marie has a great writing style, and I hope to read more from her in the future.
