Lost Witch

After a lifetime of ignoring her magic, Melissa is now in danger from those who would like to steal it. Melissa discovers her magic is very real while hiking with her friend, Rachel. She sells everything and gives up her life as a stockbroker to live in solitude to practice and learn her magic. But real life keeps intruding. Then, one stormy night a month before Beltane, John arrives. Someone sends John to find her. He's a private investigator and very good at his job. But when he finds her, literal sparks fly. Next thing he knows, he's talking to cats and other animals, and they're talking back. If that isn't enough to believe in the magic, the spell she wove over him sure is. The heat between them is hotter than the Dismal Swamp in the Summer. They make plans for celebrating Beltane together, and he can't wait. However, as the time nears, he has to choose between his business and Melissa as the one who sent him to find her threatens him and the woman he's come to love. Whatever he does, he is afraid Melissa will die. How can he save her and their growing love?

The McNealy Saga continues with Janus. Janus moved away, across the country to find peace from the magic which assailed her when her older sister came into power. At 24, she still struggled with her powers, more than her family knew. Plus, she felt the dark calling her. It scared her into hiding away on her remote mountain in Washington State. Mount Rainier had long been Ian's favorite retreat away from the world. He'd gone up hiking when a freak snowstorm hit. Luckily, when drenched by a mysterious waterfall coming from nowhere, a stranger found him and took him to a cabin to dry off before the mountain chill could seep in. However, though an immediate attraction had him wishing to know her better, the owner of the cabin eyed him suspiciously as if he would make off with the family jewels or something. But then, he wanted to make off with her heart by the end of the first week, and wasn't that even more important than the family jewels? Only one problem, his magic. He needed to figure out a way to hide while stuck in the cabin with her, but around her, it seemed to be growing, despite his best efforts to contain it. Then he learned who she really was and met her mother. The McNealy's were a powerful family. He'd heard of them. But nothing had prepared him for the power they held when all together. Could he stay with Janus, or would he be forced to leave her to protect her from her own father?
