Amazon.com ReviewHannah Lowell, daughter of a renowned family of witches, despairs of ever developing her witchcraft skills in order to ward off the advances of a power-hungry warlock. When her Aunt Eudora convinces her that she must marry Jonas Mackenzie, the only surviving member of a once-powerful Crafters' Guild family, Hannah heads for Wyoming. The biggest problem is that Jonas was orphaned at an early age and has no idea that he's a warlock. And Jonas, having already buried one wife, has no intention of marrying again (and is determined not to become interested in the self-proclaimed witch he finds dancing in his pasture, no matter how pretty she is). Kane ably sets the stage for a battle royal between a determined young lady and one crotchety cowboy. This is one wild ride you won't want to miss! Views: 36
