If you go casting love spells, be careful what you wish for. Spells, Secrets and Seductions, Book 1 Rhiannon Sparks admits she’s not a very good witch—she can’t even light a candle without a match—but she keeps trying. At least her talent for business has made her magick shop a huge success. Now if only there was even the faintest flicker in her nonexistent love life. During a night of eating and drinking, she and her girlfriends cast a candle-magick spell for hot sex. All in good fun, of course. Except Rhiannon accidentally mixes up the words. Instead of a lover, she asks for true love. Deputy Ryland Stone’s past keeps him firmly rooted in reality. Then he meets Rhiannon and sparks literally fly. One date leads to another, and then they’re practically setting the bedroom on fire…until she reveals the deal breaker. Though love and magick have found Rhiannon at last, getting a handle on her newly unleashed power is the least of her problems. Unless Ryland accepts that magick exists, he will never accept her for who and what she is. Warning: This book contains a simple candle-magick spell, which you use at your own risk, a disastrous date, phone sex, and enough sizzle to practically set the sheets on fire. Views: 19

A giant hurricane with a generous shot of alcohol. A sexy metal musician who was opposite of my cheating fiancé in every way.Those inked-up muscled arms holding a tiny puppy protectively to his bare chest told me there was more to him than met the eye.I had to know more.I’ve always been practical. I know I wouldn’t have seen him again if I hadn’t rolled out of bed and stepped into the shower.♪♫ Jack ♫♪That's true. A Perfect Storm.There was the puppy my sister forced on me as an exercise in commitment.And for damn sure, the cutoff shorts and tight sleeveless top she was wearing that day. The tan line well past the very short hem and way above the very low neckline of her tank top told me the packaging on this girl was deceptive.I had to know more.Much more.It likely would have ended like every other hookup in that tour bus—if I hadn’t followed her into the shower afterward.♪♫♫♪That shower was the beginning of us.The point where we became more than a chance possibility. The part never told in countless interviews.I’m Marissa, and Jack may jump in. Here’s our story…Author’s noteEye of the Storms is the first POV, Spicy Hot, Original Edition of Marissa and Jack's story as written three years ago.The 3rd POV Clean version was never acceptable to those who first loved Jack and Marissa as told in her voice and his—those who encouraged the story to be published and spent hours beta reading and making suggestions.

Fantastic story and well worth the wait!!!! I highly recommend it!" - Lina's Reviews From the AuthorEXCERPT FROM HOLD YOU AGAINST ME: Something moves me gently, constant and rhythmic like waves. I'm warm. There's something soft curling around my arms, wrapped inside my fists. Padding beneath my cheek that smells like home. An unnatural darkness weighs down on me, keeping me from waking up--a demon's whisper in my ear. You're warm, you're safe. Sleep. But something is wrong. I remember falling asleep, so suddenly, remember drinking water that I hadn't filled. And I remember the phone call from Amy telling me that Giovanni's alive. Impossible. Awareness pricks my skin like a cold breeze. Wherever I am, I'm not alone. I blink rapidly, forcing my eyes open. They adjust to the darkness quickly, taking in the tinted windows on either side and the wide leather bench curving beneath me. I'm in a car. A limo, to be exact. And it's moving. On the opposite side of the long space, a large body reclines. I can see the wide stance of his legs, the pale white of his shirt. A suit jacket tossed beside his hip. His face is hidden in the shadows of the vehicle. I was raised by the head of the Las Vegas mafia, the capo. I grew up around guns and violence, so I know when a man is armed. It's the way he holds himself, the warning shimmering around him like a dark halo. This man is armed and extremely dangerous. Every muscle in my body tenses. My mind still swims in thick water, because I must have been drugged. He drugged me, this faceless man. Why did he take me? It won't be anything good, that's for sure. Even worse, I suspect this has something to do with my past, with my family. It's messed up that I'd rather be taken by some random psycho. But at least then I'd have a chance of getting away. "Who are you?" I demand, my voice hoarse from whatever drugs they gave me. There's a long pause, the weight of his regard as heavy as a finger trailing down my neck.
