Blurb:
Krista Winter is in need of legal counsel. Several
years ago she was forced to flee her life as a teacher in New Jersey after
being shunned for practicing witchcraft, and her past is about to catch up with
her.
Jon Bartolo is a dedicated attorney. His days are spent helping his clients with their struggles, and his nights are spent in agony, lost in a world between life and death. His mother, who died three years ago, lurks in his house, suffering from a curse for eternity, without a final resting place.
A smoldering fire ignites between Jon and Krista almost immediately, however, he’s sure his secret would frighten any woman away. An afternoon escape brings them closer, but doubts linger between the love-struck couple.
Burning questions about how to fuse their futures together with so much of their past still clouding the future becomes a heavy burden that they’re both trying to bear on their own. It will take a touch of magic if there’s any hope in sight.

Excerpt:
She smiled, wishing she wasn’t so nervous. Before
she realized what was happening, he stood and headed toward her. Was Jon about
to make a move? If so, she wasn’t resisting. He planted himself in front of her
and took hold of her hands to help her stand. With a smooth sway of his hips,
he slowly slipped his hand around her back. Tunnel vision altered all
perception of reality, and she closed her eyes as he gently pulled her up
against his chest. Jon’s touch aroused her mercilessly. There wasn’t time to
react. Her panties moistened and her nipples tingled. The tiny stubble on his
face gave her skin a slight burn, and it unleashed her wild spirit. She dug her
fingers into his back. A sense of belonging came as a surprise. Jon cradled her
in his arms, and she surrendered to his advances. His passionate touch filled
her spirit with longing. It didn’t matter if they were strangers. When their
lips touched, it felt right. A quiet echo and a brightness filled the room as
if the goddess of love hovered over and shined light upon them. The connection
was solid, and it practically knocked her off her feet. Steadying herself,
Krista stared into his eyes with her heart racing. As Jon moved in again and
plunged his tongue deep into her mouth, he caressed her back, and she
surrendered mercifully to his touch. Each passion-filled kiss felt as if he was
a long lost lover who had reappeared and claimed her heart’s desire. There was
no telling what might happen next.
