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?
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, weres, witches, ghosts, fae, and all things supernatural. Their first novel was TRUE NATURE from The Wild Rose Press, followed by The Witches of New Mourne trilogy, AWAKENING MAGIC, HAUNTING MAGIC and HEALING MAGIC.
Their rules for maintaining a partnership are simple: be honest, be kind, and bring Diet Coke and chocolate.
When I first started the trilogy a few years ago, I wondered how it would come full circle for this family and their strife. (The trouble for me with a trilogy is waiting for the next books to come out. So I waited until the third was released to purchase book 2.) The heartbreak and truths they find as the story unfolds in book 2 and 3 were more moving than I anticipated. There are twists and sacrifices I did not expect as they come together to end the curse. The romance heats up as brokenness is replaced with love and the next generation is on its way for this beautiful family of witches.
