Sex and the Psychic Witch

"Bewitching Romantic Comedy"

The first in Annette's Triplet Witch Trilogy

The buyer for her family's vintage clothing and curio shop, triplet witch Harmony Cartwright brings peace to everyone in her sphere.  She also has the ability to read ancient objects and their owners, even their deepest darkest secrets.  Now, a Celtic ring depicting a man’s empty embrace becomes a psychic mandate that leads her to Paxton castle on an island off the Salem, Massachusetts coast.

King Paxton has inherited a haunted money-pit of a castle he must sell before he’s cursed with more of the bad luck that plagued his family for generations, but out of nowhere, a leggy blonde walks in and quiets his disgruntled construction crew and wailing ghost.  When King throws her out, chaos returns, so he brings her back. 

Harmony could be the answer to his problems . . . or a very big distraction.  He’s never been as attracted to anyone, but he's made enough mistakes for one lifetime.  He vows to be strong after he offers her a job at the castle. She can search for vintage clothes while he peacefully gets the castle restored and sold. 

King is Harmony’s psychic pot of gold. Because the ancient castle is his–he was born there–she can read him. She knows he feels the same dizzying attraction for her that she does for him. She knows exactly what he wants to do to and with her—a titillating knowledge—but he’s fighting his inclinations.  Bummer.

Despite Gussie the ghost-witch, triplet tricks, spells, rituals, and unexpected family ties, Harmony tries to uncover the castle's secrets while acting out King’s unspoken fantasies until they're acting them out together and fighting a powerful ghost . . . in and out of bed. 

In the final magical battle, will Harmony and King reclaim the castle, or is Gussie stronger even than the power of love?
