Bewitch blurb reveal and teaser excerpt

It isn’t long now until the release of Bewitch on January 19th, and I’ve had fantastic feedback about the book from my advance reviewers, and from everyone here at the blog whenever I’ve posted sneak-peek excerpts from the book. Now that we’re closing in on the release day (only nine more days to wait!) I wanted to post the summary of the book, so you can get a better feel for what you’ll be experiencing in Bewitch as sassy witch Elissa takes Payne by the horns!

Bewitch
Felicity Heaton
A vampire with a past stained with blood and a soul tainted with darkness, he is perfect in his self-control, never surrendering to his darkest desires. Now a beautiful witch in the shadowy fae underworld threatens to reawaken long denied hungers and tempts him with carnal pleasure.

Payne despises the incubus side of his mixed genes and refuses to give it free rein, but when the wickedly sexy Elissa offers him a possible way to help a friend, he finds it difficult to resist paying the price, even if it will be his undoing—one night of passion at her command.

Elissa is a witch down on her luck until Payne comes crashing into her life. The dangerously handsome male is the key to fulfilling a promise she made, but he is also forbidden, and surrendering to the wildfire passion he stirs within her means risking ruin and death.

When one incredible night of fulfilling their deepest fantasies leads to more than just a pathway to keeping a promise and saving a friend, will they be able to overcome the barriers that stand between them and forever?

And here’s a snippet from the book to keep you on the edge of your seat as you wait for the release day to roll around…

Bewitch – Sneak Peek

Payne used the walk to get his hunger back in check. He would go with the witch to wherever she was leading him, gain her trust and then get her to tell him the location of the place he sought. She could speak fae and others knew her here, so she clearly knew the area well. She would be able to lead him to his destination. Problem solved.

He tried to keep his eyes off her backside.

It was impossible.

The image of saucy red knickers had been burned on his mind.

He would never look at witches the same again. Who knew what they hid beneath that plain boring black dress? He had never imagined it would be naughty knickers.

She turned down another street to her left, leading him through the rabbit warren of buildings. There were fewer stores in this neighbourhood. Most of the single storey buildings looked like residences, most of them painted in bright colours. Stalagmites rose from the flat roofs of many of them, reaching upwards towards their deadly counterparts on high.

Payne stopped a few steps into the new narrow street and backtracked. He raised a single dark eyebrow at the wooden sign affixed to the painted black wall of the building nearest the crossroads. Well, what did’ya know. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and matched the symbols to those of the street name. Bingo. We have a winner.

The witch had stopped and was staring at him, curiosity burning in her silvery eyes.

He didn’t need her after all.

He stalked past her, checking each door for the right symbol. Somewhere down here was the witch he had come to find. His eyes darted from the crumpled piece of paper in his hand to the painted purple wooden door of the pink stone building on his left. Match.

He rapped his knuckles against the door.

The female witch stopped beside him. He glanced at her. She was frowning now and it didn’t suit her. He didn’t like how she looked as though she was trying to see right through him to wheedle out his secrets.

He opened his mouth to explain himself.

She slid a brass key into the lock, twisted it and pushed the door open. She breezed into the dark building and lights came on, glowing warmly and illuminating the clutter in the small room.

She lived here?

She was the witch?

Bewitch is due for release on January 19th, but may reach some retailers earlier. I’ll keep you all posted!
