Sex and the Psychic Witch

Harmony Cartwright and her triplet sisters live in Salem and own a vintage clothing and curio shop. Harmony’s job is to buy items for the shop, when she picks up a gown at a charity yard sale, her psychic powers start going wild calling to her. When she puts it on after getting it home and looking into a mirror, her path disappears behind her. She can then feel the owner who made the dress, ”Lisette” and when she looks into one of her many mirrors she can see a pair of hands undoing the hem . She reaches for the hem and a gold ring falls into her hands. When she holds the ring to read it she senses that Lisette was afraid. She slips the ring on her finger and sees a castle with a woman trapped within a dark discord and faints. She feels as though she needs to go and help the women at the castle to find out what is going on. Her sisters say that it is a bad idea but she gets a feeling from one that she thinks she needs to go. The castle she sees in her vision was painted at one time by her ancestor, Lili. The castle is owned and inherited by King Paxton and he is trying to restore the castle to sell it but is having problems because of the haunting that seems to be going on. Not only is there a spooky wailing wind and mysterious things happening but it seems to stop when Harmony shows up. King decides that he doesn’t want her there and throws her out twice before she can tell him that she can tell him that she wants to buy the vintage clothes from him. But the foreman explains to him that each time she is in the castle the wailing stops and that the men want her there. King agrees and offers her a job as a peacemaker for the castle against the wailing and etc that goes on in the castle. She will also get first pick of the vintage clothing and items in turn helping him to catalog them for sale and etc. Harmony starts to feel herself falling for King although he is a bit of a ramrod as she calls him quite frequently. King also feels something for her but keeps trying to ignore it to the best of his ability, which he can’t do very well. This makes for interesting work days between the two of them and, whoever happens to be in the room at the time. When Reggie his seventeen year old daughter shows up with her son, Max because her mother threw her out of the house Kings whole life gets turned upside down. Harmony realizes then that she must persuade him to keep the castle and not sell it so that he must have it for his family.

Annette Blair weaves a wonderful tale of romance and passion with a bit of sparkling charm thrown in. The characters are wonderfully well rounded and entertaining making the story one that you can hardly put down. I will definitely be reading any of Annette Blair’s other Witchy Books that she puts out.
