Sorcerer's Legacy (Wiccan Haus #12)

By Carolyn Spear

Librarian Rebecca Jones has always found solace in books.

The death of her grandmother leaves her alone in the world. An inherited old Welsh scroll renews her desire to find the father she never knew. She hopes fairytale Wiccan Haus will yield the answers she needs.

Descendant of the inspiration for the Merlin legend...

Ian Branson lives with the responsibility of protecting humans and paranormal beings. He takes an impromptu vacation with the Rowans of Wiccan Haus, seeking healing for his out of control psychic abilities.

As soon as Ian meets Becca, he feels the pull of his soul mate.

Love has no place in his life, but he cannot deny the peace only she can provide. Becca finds her Welsh knight in shining armor to translate her scroll, but passion tempts her from her quest to find her father.

As their relationship blooms, Ian fears putting another loved one in jeopardy. A tryst isn’t enough but Ian’s charmed solution goes awry. With his emotions into a tailspin, he is forced to sacrifice his pride and ask the formidable eldest Rowan for help.

Will Sarka’s magic reverse the sorcerer’s spell and will Becca accept Ian’s legacy and her own?

~A Note from the Author~

Welcome to Wiccan Haus. I know you’ll love this series as much as I do. It is a world of possibilities, an escape from our daily realities. An island with shifters, witches, and all manner of paranormal beings, there’s mystery and magic around every bend, in each encounter.

I’m Carolyn Spear, mother of two sweet girls and wife of one fabulous husband. Reading, gardening and exploring are my passions. I don’t really write but rather channel my characters' stories to share with others. A strange combination of small town girl, travel enthusiast and geek, I am thrilled to be a part of the shared world of the Wiccan Haus.

For Becca’s personality, I channeled my inner child. I still believe in magic and knights in shining armor. She gets a little more than she bargains for at Wiccan Haus. Wizards and werewolves and vampires, oh my! Ian Branson is an older than usual hero, but I like my heroes a little more experienced. A little uptight and a little supercilious, he is surprised at the feral passion Becca unlocks in him. He has to deal with all the emotions he keeps under lock and key to function. I think he exemplifies many of us who function more than live. And it’s a Merlin-inspired tale, who I’ve always felt got a raw deal at the end of his life so I wrote him a different ending.

I hope you’ll enjoy this story as much I did in telling it. I’d love to hear your comments! You can contact me at [e-mail].

Dedication

For my fabulous, supportive husband who supports my writing addiction with chocolate and coffee. Thank you so very much.

Sorcerer’s Legacy

A Wiccan Haus Story

Chapter One

Rank has its privileges.

Ian Branson bit back an impatient curse. Not even the cleansing sea air soothed his ragged nerves.

The ferry shuttling the dozen humans to the island chugged forward in the soupy fog at a snail’s pace. The rain dripped down with irritating consistency like a clock’s second hand ticking in slow motion. He glanced at the rest of the passengers. One poor sap had lost his lunch before they’d even left the safety of the Maine harbor, though the others appeared made of sterner stuff. Maybe they were native Mainers.

Sure, rank had its privileges.

He never pulled rank. This time was different. He needed anonymity. After contacting Wiccan Haus for a well-deserved impromptu vacation, the Rowan siblings had granted his request to accompany the human guests on the ferry.

If he had traveled with the paranormal guests through the high security portal, someone would have recognized him at the main portal station. Being the Syndicate’s chairman of R & R—Rules and Regulations on the Lawful Use of Magick and Innate Powers—meant enemies and allies alike knew his face. While he parlayed his position—for once—to secure special treatment, he preferred to be just Ian on this retreat.

Who am I kidding? This is no retreat. This is a bloody intervention.

He was a basket case.

He needed to get away like he needed his next breath. Focusing on work was next to impossible. His heart demanded revenge on those who had attacked his son at his school.

Allan was safe—thank the gods and his bodyguard Trevor Greene—but innocent women and children had been slaughtered. The damn Mundus Novus, the latest and nastiest of the rebel para factions, had kidnapped Allan’s teacher, Cassidy Sinclair, and Dana, the pregnant wife of Wiccan Haus’s head of security, Rekkus. Not all paras followed the Wiccan rede of an it harm none, much less more structured laws.

Safety was an illusion.

He ran his hand through his hair then pushed his fingertips into his throbbing temple.

Darkness threatened his control and his sanity. He should be filled with anticipation over being surrounded by magick, free to release the sorcerer he’d hidden under suits and ties. Instead, the minutes ticked by in slow motion. He didn’t care to socialize with any of the other passengers, not until he regained his balance.

To pull his thoughts from the dark shadows of his mind, he idly perused the guests near him. Two men, apparently involved from the joined hands and ease of nonverbal communication, leaned on the railing closer to the bow. An older woman smiled easily at a younger woman—probably her daughter or niece—who pointed to the island rising from the sea like a siren beckoning them with her song.
