As a green witch, Lucy has always felt strongest and the most at home in the forest, surrounded by nature. But when a disturbing dream wakes her and sends her fleeing into the woods, she isn''t prepared for what she finds. She expected her element. Perhaps a message from spirit. She didn''t expect to cross paths with a sexy-as-sin man, straight out of a movie scene. Jonas Morley isn''t like the other residents of Hallows End. He knows the town''s secrets, as well as Salem''s, and it has been his honor and duty to protect them for as long as he can remember. But the gorgeous witch who graces the town''s hidden border shakes him and makes him second-guess his directive. She calls to him like no other. But can he save his home and those under his care and still make her his? Or will their union mean danger and destruction for not only them but also those who live within the town''s borders? Curses don''t discriminate, and the curse of the blood moon is the most determined and dangerous of all. Hallows End is the first book in the Curse of the Blood Moon Series.

The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America? Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay--and what will send them into a frenzy. Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty. Only love could write an enchanting new beginning--if they''ll let themselves fall.
