As promised, here is a tease from my up coming novella, Just Beyond Daybreak. The story starts with Meredith, the leading lady, searching through Magic Town.
Magic Town was a dingy maze of
alleyways tucked away in a section of Atlanta that never made it to the travel
guides. It was crawling with some of the lowest members of society and if a
person had to be honest it also had quite a few members of high society slinking
around from time to time. It was a place that Meredith Blackburn despised
venturing into. After four nights of searching questionable bars and occult
shops, the young witch found herself standing in front of a small Chinese shop
called Heavenly Herbs. Flexing her fingers, she could feel the flow of magic in
her veins cycling painfully slow and it only reminded her how important it was
for her to find the man she was looking for.
Meredith despised the man just as much
as the area she knew she would find him in. Malcolm Blackwood was one of those
high-society brats who had slunk down to Magic Town after displeasing his
family. At least Meredith liked to think that he slunk, but entered with a
cocky stride would fit his character more. Malcolm had been the second-son
playboy that every family dreaded, but for some reason he held a type of charm
that made everyone want to be near him. For all her detest of the man, Meredith
was no different. Just like every other woman, she’d been drawn to him too.
But the Blackburns and the Blackwoods
had been at each other’s throats for more than a millennium. It was family
bickering left over from their roots in the old country, and that left little
room for feelings besides distrust. So Meredith ignored the attraction and
focused on the man’s arrogant attitude.
Nonetheless, he was one of the best
magical trackers on the East Coast, and that was what she needed.
That's your tease! Hope it caught your interest. Stop back by tomorrow for the full cover reveal and to find out the winner of the giveaway!
Peace and Love
