Charmed Spirits by Carrie Ann Ryan (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Please give a very warm welcome to paranormal romance author, Carrie Ann Ryan!

A Bewitching Good Time

I love witches and all things magic. What can I say? I’ve always wanted to believe in something bigger than myself, and magic is something that I can see being real. Now, why are literary witches so much fun?

Because of the power.

Yep.

The Power.

Think about it. The women in these novels who were shunned or had to hide who they were had the power to change things. They are strong, independent, and have the ability to be anything.

That scares people.

I love thinking about witches like my book CHARMED SPIRITS’ Jordan Cross. She’s a firecracker, but has always had to hide who she was because the world didn’t understand. We can all see a little of ourselves in that can’t we?

But she’s stronger than most and can kick butt like the rest of them. Even the witches who were green and boiled potions in caldrons really only wanted what was theirs to begin with—their shoes. I mean really, what right did Dorothy have to them anyway?

But I digress…

Jordan isn’t a green witch…expect when she’s dressing up to make fun of the stereotype, but that’s another story all together. She’s a witch who’s connected to the earth, doesn’t harm others, and just loves growing things.

She also has a powerful magic inside her that needs to be let loose, and if she’s not careful, she’ll hurt those she loves.

But that’s the price of power—responsibility.

What do you love about witches? The magic? The ability to be strong and your own person?

Jordan Cross has returned to Holiday, Montana after eleven long years to clear out her late aunt’s house, put it on the market, and figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Soon, she finds herself facing the town that turned its back on her because she was different. Because being labeled a witch in a small town didn’t earn her many friends...especially when it wasn't a lie. Matt Cooper has lived in Holiday his whole life. He's perfectly content being a bachelor alongside his four single brothers in a very small town. After all, the only woman he'd ever loved ran out on him without a goodbye. But now Jordan’s back and just as bewitching as ever. Can they rekindle their romance with a town set against them? Warning: Contains an intelligent, sexy witch with an attitude and drop-dead gorgeous man who likes to work with his hands, holds a secret that might scare someone, and really, really, likes table tops for certain activities. Enough said.

EXCERPT:

“Have you seen the house yet?” Matt asked, his brows furrowed.

She shook her head and took her Coke and gum back with a small smile to Mr. Clancy. “Not yet. I was on my way over there. I just wanted to stop by for a drink.” She squared her shoulders and started toward the exit.

“You might find more than you bargained for if you want to get out quick.”

Jordan stopped and pivoted toward him. “Why? It should only take a few days to clean it out then slap on some paint, right?”

Matt shook his head and put his thumbs in his belt loops—too sexy. “Your grandmother got real sick at the end, and none of us knew.” Sadness washed over his face, and Jordan held back any similar feelings. “It may take more than you anticipated to get it ready.”

She let out a sigh and closed her eyes, counting to ten. “Then I’ll just have to deal with it, won’t I? I’m here for the duration in any case.” After all, she’d quit her PR job, a job that she hated, so she could find herself. God, how pathetic did that sound?

“Well, if you need anything, I’m here. And I bet my brothers would help out in a second.”

Jordan nodded, a smile forming. Damn those helpful, sexy Cooper brothers. “Thanks, if I need anything, I’ll holler. But I hope to do most of it on my own.”
