About this ebook

Do You Believe In Magic?

What if you could cast a spell to help you do your everyday job? But . . . that didn’t help when an ancient force brought you and your soul mate together, and you weren’t ready?

Magic practitioners in the modern world have supernatural skills to do their everyday jobs. They also have a legendary force, the imperative, that brings each to his or her soul mate, who will be the love of their lives. The mates are also guaranteed to recognize each other almost immediately. Or so the stories go.

Consultant Clay Morgan, literally a computer wizard, is going after a hacker for one of his clients. When he meets Francie Stevens, he’s immediately attracted, but thinks because she’s not a practitioner, she can’t be his soul mate. Right?

Not exactly.

Francie works for Clay’s client, and the hacker plaguing the company turns out to be the boyfriend of her best friend. She’s had terrible experiences with men in the past, so she’s determined to avoid Clay. They must work together to foil the hacker, however, and the attraction between the two of them is a constant source of worry for her.

Clay realizes quickly that she is his soul mate, and he’s not about to let her get away. First, he must explain magic, get her to agree that it exists, he can wield it, and they’re soul mates who belong together.

When Francie resists, it won’t be easy, even with the imperative’s help. Clay is stubborn, however. He’s going to be her soul mate, no matter what.

Hi, I’m Ann Macela, and I write enchanting, smart, and sensual contemporary romance and contemporary light paranormal romance. Sometimes with a touch of humor, sometimes with a little sorrow, always with passion and emotion. My award-winning Magic Series is about a group of people who can cast spells to help them with their everyday jobs. Wouldn’t you like to have an ability that would help you type faster, make accurate change, fix the plumbing, or grow flowers and vegetables? Or whatever it is that you do? And these people, who call themselves practitioners, are guaranteed to find their soul mates. Ready or not, and whether or not they want one at that particular moment. As the series progresses, the magic gets more complicated and so do the relationships. Included in the series are the last two in the series, never before published. Windswept won the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award for Best Romance, Small Press, 2008, and several other awards. Writing this standalone contemporary with a historical twist took me back to my first love, the study of history, and it definitely shows off my Texas roots. There’s a terrible secret in the papers of the Windswept Plantation . . . I’m a native Gulf Coast Texan, now living in The Frozen North of Chicagoland. I started life reading mysteries, then sci-fi and fantasy. When I discovered romances, I saw a way to combine all the aspects of books that I liked into my own stories. And what a welcome difference from writing computer manuals--my old job and which has no magic about it at all. Let me know what you think of my stories.

    I received a signed copy of the book for an honest review from GoodreadsThis is the first in a new series the Children of Merlin. The book was set in modern day USA Southwest. Magic and Malice. True love and lies. This book has some steamy sex scenes and some violence. It has it all wrapped up in 324 pages.That being sad the story line was interesting and keeps you guessing what the Talismans are and why the old woman wants them?Find your true love and come into your power. Tristam doesn't believe in magic or destiny. The family black sheep running from his family and himself. Finding Maggie a bull rider/horse whisperer in a diner. Secrets and lies are many in the book and I sure hope the next one answers some of them. There are many Termaine children so there are possibly many more secrets and reveals ahead. I would have loved to know Maggie's mothers name and the old woman's name too. Kemble the heir apparent I hope gets his story next. I feel the wallflower might be more then she appears too.All in all I really enjoyed the book and will begin searching for the next book in the series.

    I got this book as a freebie from Amazon and have been devouring the rest of the series ever since I read this one. Tristram Tremaine has been riding his motorcycle around the country for the last year. He has never felt that he is a real part of his family who are descended from Merlin and have a 'magic' gene. He's the bad boy of the family. He meets rodeo bull-riding Maggie O'Brian in a diner and has an instant attraction to the feisty woman. She wants nothing to do with the 'tomcatting' Tris even though she feels the attraction also. When a mysterious accident throws them together again, sparks fly and the two have to fight their natures to find a future together.The Tremaine family is intriguing and the premise of their magic and how it works is genuinely engaging and interesting. The writing here is terrific and the characters, especially Maggie and Tris, make you root for their happy ending.
