Passion and magic that burns
Kasey is a woman that exudes energy and brightness; she is
as equally passionate when angry as she is when she’s happy. The energy she
carries from life comes through in all her magical workings with spells and
stones, giving them great magical strength. She is a dreamer and often wishes
she could re-write her own story so that she was charming and sophisticated
enough to be with a certain wealthy male lawyer she wants more than anything
else.
Chris is a force of strength and experience that is
carefully hidden behind the easy mannerism he has adapted so carefully. There is nothing he cannot do where magic is
concerned and he has tried all manner of things, whether right or wrong. His fortune has left him wanting for nothing
else in life, except the one thing money can’t buy him, the woman he feels too
unclean to approach.
Separated by two different life styles yet their passion and
magic ignite sparks hotter than the Solstice heat.
Can they work out a way to be together as they try to stop a
killer from striking again?
Excerpt
Chris came
out of his library to see the three men sitting in his living room. He paused and looked around. “Did I forget about a meeting?” Where were the women? “Where is everyone else?”
Dade leaned
forward and rested his elbows on his legs.
“We were instructed they were coming here after work and they have been
locked in your little magic broom closet for the last hour.”
Chris
raised his eyebrows. “Doing?”
Owen lifted
his hands. “Won’t say.”
Steven
slumped down, wishing for a nap.
“They’re not too pleased being driven to and from work.”
“I
see.” Chris turned and started down the
hall. “Let’s see what they’re up to.”
The men got up and followed him.
He tried the doorknob to find it locked. “Kase, unlock the door.”
“Soon.” She
called to him through the door.
He stood
there glaring at the door. They’d locked
him out of his own room in his own home!
We’ll see about this. He stepped
back and slapped and invisible command at the door.
Sparks flew off it and the door remained closed. “What the…”
Dade
grinned. “Quite the little witch you
have there Larkin.”
Steven
whistled out a breath. “Just how much
trouble can they get into with all your stuff in there?”
Chris still
scowled at the door while he answered.
“A lot!” He tapped the door with
his hand. “Kassandra unlock the door.”
A gentle breeze blew over all four of them.
“That would
be a polite no.” Dade said quietly.
“Like hell,
I’ll be locked out of my own temple room.” Chris hissed. Stepping back he stared at the door, the
handle shook. When he thought it was
going to open it started to pour rain on the four of them. He waved a hand to stop it and looked at the
men beside him. Dade’s long hair was
soaked and the expression on his face was similar to how he himself was feeling
about the whole thing.
“And that
would be a mind your own business.” Owen said sticking his hands in his
pockets.
Chris
looked at Steven. “You have any ideas?”
Steven
shook his head trying to get the water to stop dripping in his face then took a
step away from the door. “Oh no. I’m
plenty happy enough to wait until it opens on it’s own. You might like lighting striking you but I’m
not too open to trying that.”
Chris shook
his head. “Are you all afraid of them?”
Dade
nodded. “I’ve seen what each one can do
alone – especially your little innocent there my friend; the four of them
together scare the hell out of me.”
Chris
sighed and looked back at the door.
“Kasey?”
“Yes
Christopher?” Her voice came through the
door again.
“You’re
making me angry and I don’t want to do something I’ve promised you I
wouldn’t.”
A wind breeze ruffled his hair. “I know you won’t Chris. Now go away I’m trying to concentrate here.”
His jaw dropped.
Sighing he looked at the others. “Beer?”
They nodded and followed him down the hallway.
“Seems you’re a bit afraid of their wrath too councilor.”
Dade mumbled behind him.
“Shut up.” Chris
growled and walked into the kitchen.

Armed with magic and a plan ...
Step into a world of magic and passions....
Take a dash of spice, heat it
Add a flash of magic and watch the sparks
fly
Toss in a killer that's targeting women
Add a handful of witches from all paths to
stir it all together...
Armed with magic and a plan for the Lammas festival as a group they are determined to stop the killer from harming anyone
again.
With a plan of his own, Steven decides to
persuade Rachel that they’re meant to be together.
Rachel is a woman that lives carefree with
a buoyant recklessness. She loves being a flirt and has spent many years
indulging that side of her personality. Her energy draws others; her character
is to protect all those that cannot protect themselves. When she’s not riding on life, she is helping
children less fortunate then herself.
Steven is man that gives more than his
energy usually allows. He is a highly
respected pediatrician that always goes that extra step to ensure all in his
care are receiving his utmost attention.
He often sacrifices sleep to spend time with his friends, and he can’t
seem to help affably chasing the skirt of the one woman that breaks his easy
going charm and makes him forget he’s supposed to be the jovial. He hides his strength in body and magic,
never letting others know that he is more than the carefree man with everything
he needs.
Armed with magic and a plan for the Lammas
festival as a group they are determined to stop the killer from harming anyone
again. With a plan of his own, Steven
decides he’s done waiting for Rachel to see that they’re meant to be together
and takes things into his own hands.
Excerpt:
When they were well out of sight Steven
stopped and looked back towards the cabin.
Chris hissed out a breath as he looked
around. “This should be far enough.” He looked at the trees overhead and then
to the ground. “How do you want to do
this?” He sent him a wary look. “Who are you going after?”
Steven rubbed his jaw. “Not Kasey, she’d just zap my ass and I’d
probably have burn marks.” He noted the
pride in Chris’s eyes as he tried not to smirk.
“I’m going to aim for Rachel or Leena, definitely not Cora. If she so much as made a sound, Dade would
thump me into the ground.”
Chris grinned. “And you don’t think Owen would?”
Steven shook his head. “Leena wouldn’t let him.” He let out a deep breath and then held up his
hands, palms facing Chris. “Here goes
nothing.” He closed his eyes and took
slow breaths as he reached deep inside to the magic he held tightly within his
body. He felt it climb through him and
warm his skin. When Chris’s finger tips
touched his, he felt a powerful boost to the magic gathering.
He pictured Rachel inside his mind and
focused on her for a few seconds, testing.
A heat spread through him as he felt the connection to her aura pass
over his own. He searched for the way
into her thoughts and felt her mind click open as if he’d turned a lock. Taking a deep breath he concentrated
harder.
His hands shook until he felt Chris funnel
some of his own power into the sight he was trying to grasp. He could see all of the women and a multitude
of colors as they moved around inside the cabin. He could feel nervousness and anxiety. Furrowing his brow his held onto the link as
it started to change. He couldn’t sense
what it was now, it had somehow changed quickly. It was as if …
A blast of power shot through him and sent
him sprawling to the ground. His hands
were burning suddenly and it felt like he’d been hit across the head with
something made of stone. He opened his
eyes slowly and looked up at the leaves on the trees above him. Lifting his head carefully he looked around
and spotted Chris lying flat on his back as well.
“We are in a lot of trouble, Doctor.” Chris sounded out of breath.
“Yeah,”
he agreed and then turned his head towards the steps coming from the direction
of the cabin
