When
a series of failed relationships and business ventures have Monica
Jackson doubting her self-worth, she turns to spell casting to
attract positive energy and the opportunities needed to achieve her
goals. But can Monica’s belief in spells restore her belief in
herself?
Monica
creates a spell to find her soul mate, and one to ensure the success
of her new romantic event planning company, Enhance Your Romance.
Monica is confident she has found her niche until divorce lawyer Reed
Walker opens a practice next door to her office. The anti-marriage
slogan plastered on his office window, and his down-on-love clients,
quickly prove detrimental to Monica’s business. When his arrival
appears to trigger a string of bad luck, Monica fears one of her
spells sent negative energy into the universe and it has returned to
her threefold. Although Reed is beyond sexy, and she admires his
self-confidence, she’ll do whatever it takes to get the universe
back on her side, and Reed out of her life. No way is she losing
another business.
Reed
finds himself attracted to Monica’s beauty and her optimism. His
job and his parents’ divorce have made him a pessimist, especially
when it comes to love. However, he soon finds that Monica’s
pro-love attitude is rubbing off on him, causing him to lose his
edge. If Reed doesn’t distance himself from Monica, he’ll likely
destroy his reputation as a pit bull divorce lawyer.
Can
Monica and Reed look past what they might be losing to realize the
love they have found?
Prologue From Under Her Spell
“A
spell … ” Hope mused, then her face lit up. “If there’s a
spell to attract a man to a woman, there must be one to repel women
from a man. Right?”
“Spells
shouldn’t involve negative energy. Sending out negative energy can
cause it to return threefold. They aren’t intended to harm someone
or make them do something against their will.” Jordan had drilled
this into her head.
“I
wouldn’t be making Kyle do anything against his will. I’d be
warning women to stay away from him.”
Sounded
borderline.
“Please,”
Hope whined, picking a clump of batter from her long, wavy hair.
Monica
let out a defeated groan. “All right.” Hope would never actually
cast the spell anyway. When they were young, Hope refused to wear a
Casper costume for Halloween because she didn’t believe in ghosts.
She was closed-minded when it came to paranormal or New Age beliefs.
And you had to truly believe in a spell for it to work.
Monica
set down the bowl of salt and grabbed a pencil and pad of paper off
her desk and handed them to Hope. “Write this down. It’s called,”
she tapped a hot pink nail against her lip, “the dirtbag spell.
Take one of Kyle’s socks, fill it with dirt, and add a photo of
him. It’s critical you aren’t in the photo.” Monica paced,
tightening the sash on her lavender silk robe. “Include something
of his like … ”
“His
new Rolex?”
Personally,
Monica would list the watch on eBay and pray for a bidding war. But
Hope, no matter how ticked off, was too timid to sell Kyle’s
precious watch, and too frugal to risk damaging it by mixing it with
dirt.
“That’s
fine. Sew up the sock and bury it in your front yard. It’ll warn
all women he’s a dirtbag.”
Hope
poised the pencil against her lower lip, reviewing the spell. “Don’t
I have to say something when I bury it, like a chant?”
What
happened to being spell ignorant?
“Bury
it in the moonlight while saying … ” Monica scrambled for a few
rhyming lines, “moonlight, glowing bright, warn all women in your
sight, the man who lives in this house, is a dirtbag and a total
louse.”
“Perfect.”
Hope sprang from the bed, looking inspired. “Kyle’s at work. I’m
going over to the house right now to bury that sock.” She turned
and marched out, a woman on a mission.
Monica
nibbled nervously on her fingernail. Hope wouldn’t seriously go
through with casting the spell, would she? A big part of spell
casting was psychological, focusing all your energy on making
something happen. Monica had never seen Hope look so determined, or
vindictive. Hopefully, if she did cast the spell the negative energy
didn’t return threefold.
What was
the worst that could happen?

Meet The Author
Eliza
Daly’s first attempt at creative writing was in fourth grade. She
and her friends were huge Charlie’s Angels fans and she would sit
in her bedroom at night writing scripts for them to act out at recess
the following day. She was Kelly Garrett. Fast forward to the
present, she’s still writing stories about beautiful women who
always get their men. The journey from fourth grade script writer to
published author wasn’t an easy one, but it was always an adventure
and the final destination was well worth it.
When
Eliza isn’t traveling for her job as an event planner, or tracing
her ancestry roots through Ireland, she’s at home in Milwaukee
working on her next novel, bouncing ideas off her husband Mark, and
her cats Quigley and Frankie.
