"Witches, werewolves, spirits, magic and mayhem, plus humor."
Mandrake Morgan is CEO of Morgan Ltd, an international
corporation with diverse business and real estate holdings -
- and the front for the Coven of the Wolf, the largest
witches coven in the midwestern U.S. Someone has been
sowing discord and perpetrating sabotage within the company
ranks, and Drake has to discover who and why before he is
deposed as leader of the coven. While meeting with the
corporation's lawyer to discuss how confidential
information is leaking out, Drake senses the presence of
his "complement", his perfect mate. It's very rare for a
coven leader to find his complement, but if he does, the
consummation of the relationship makes him unbeatably
powerful. But who is this unknown witch that Drake senses,
and why doesn't she respond as expected to his mental
touches? Rhea Brown has been hearing voices in her head ever since
she moved to Chicago to live in her late grandmother's
house. They got stronger after she discovered her
grandmother's secret room with the crystals and amulets and
old books. She hasn't had much time to think about it,
because she's too concerned with her discovery of the
unethical and illegal behaviour of one of her fellow
attorneys regarding the firm's biggest client, Morgan Ltd.
But now the visions and voices are getting more frequent --
and more erotic! Sexual images of herself with a man she
does not recognize, a voice claiming her as his, a dream
lover who brings her to orgasm on the astral plan when
she's never met him in the real world. Rhea starts to think
it is time to consult a psychiatrist. Warrick Bettencourt plans to become the new leader of the
Coven of the Wolf. He is not held back by any of those
wimpy "do no harm" credos of the other witches; he will use
whatever means necessary to achieve his goal. And once he
finds out that Drake could achieve ultimate power by
joining with his perfect mate, Warrick will do anything to
prevent that. Witches, werewolves, spirits, magic and mayhem -- this
story has them all, and lots of good humor, too. Rhea is a
strong-minded modern woman, capable of accepting and
dealing with her inherited witch powers once they've been
proved to her. But she's not about to accept some man just
because he claims she's his destined wife. And Drake
discovers that "consummating" the relationship involves a
lot more than physical joining. The story is fast-paced,
the characters are fun, the action keeps rolling, and Rhea
and Drake have a great time in bed working on their
relationship! I thoroughly enjoyed it and only wish it had
been longer.
