An empathic witch. A magical warrior. Joined by love, they battle a demon and an evil spirit.
Eva Grace Connelly is a witch and a beloved healer. Rodric McGuire, paranormal expert and descendent of faerie warriors, adores the flame-haired beauty. But their future is on hold as a family curse threatens her life.
Centuries ago, the Witches of New Mourne struck a dark bargain with the Woman in White. In exchange for peace, the malevolent spirit takes a Connelly witch from each generation.
Eva Grace is convinced she can heal the ghost’s troubled spirit and end the reign of terror. But violence and family heartbreak challenge that resolve. As Samhain approaches, the Woman and her vile demon have control.
Is sacrifice the only road to peace? Can Eva Grace and Rodric uncover the secrets and lies at the heart of the curse?
Excerpt:
Eva Grace put her hand against the elderly woman’s chest and chanted
quietly.
Rodric watched Inez’s color improve.
“Better?” Eva Grace asked.
“Yes, thank you. Now I have something for you.” Inez produced a little
velvet bag. “This belonged to my husband Craig. The fae helped him find it.”
Her hands trembling, Inez opened the bag. The arrowhead she held out was of
creamy stone and perfectly shaped. The tip was honed to a fine point.
Inez placed the arrowhead in Eva Grace’s palm. “The day your
mother was taken, Craig got out this arrowhead. He held it and cried like a
baby. He wouldn’t tell me why. But he was a Connelly, and he had a good sense
of magic and of danger. He told me to guard it until I knew it was time to
share the power.”
Eva Grace stared down at the arrowhead.
“It’s time,” Inez whispered. “Only you can find the answers.”
The arrowhead glowed, becoming almost translucent. Eva Grace closed her
fingers around it and swayed.
Rodric placed his hand on her shoulder. He felt a ripple of magic. She
looked up at him, her face alight with beauty and strength.
The front door banged open, followed by a burst of cold wind that
extinguished the fire.
“Hide it,” Inez warned Eva Grace. “Now.”
She stuffed the arrowhead in the top of her boot.
Leigh Neely and Jan Hamilton Powell are the writing team of Neely Powell. They met working at a rock ‘n roll radio station, discovered they’d both rather be writing fiction, and have been close friends ever since. Their path to cowriting paranormal romance took some detours.
Leigh’s resume chronicles a diverse career as a disk jockey, newspaper reporter, advertising copywriter, magazine writer and editor. Jan wrote 24 romance novels as Celeste Hamilton for Silhouette and Avon Books and then built a career in corporate communications and public relations.
Neely Powell became a successful team when they turned their attention to shifters, werewolves, witches, ghosts, fae and all things supernatural.
Their first novel was TRUE NATURE from The Wild Rose Press, followed by AWAKENING MAGIC and HAUNTING MAGIC. The Witches of New Mourne trilogy will conclude in October 2021 with HEALING MAGIC.
Their rules for maintaining a partnership are simple: be honest, be kind, and bring Diet Coke and chocolate.
