Title: Becoming the Witch
Author: J. M. Davies
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Blurb:
This is the Haunting and evocative prequel to The Rise of Orion series. As Miss Elizabeth Marshfield, I’ve never had a choice. My marriage to Sir Charles Dempsey is arranged. Love plays no role in this, but my sizable dowry does. On my eighteenth birthday, as I promise to honor and obey, eerie voices unlock a curse and an ancient magic I didn’t know I possessed, and they won’t rest until I answer them.
My husband suspects I ‘m mad—and mad, I may well be. But this cold-hearted brute cares naught for me as his mistress warms his bed. I don’t know who I am anymore. Even the blacksmith, Barnaby, can’t disguise his contempt, despite saving me from a fall from my horse. So why does this insolent man affect me so? He reveals he’s a Roma called Raven, and the birthmark of the moon I have branded on my wrist proves I’m entwined in his destiny. Even talking with him could mean the hangman. But my heart has spoken, and I know nothing will ever be the same. For once—I will choose my fate, even if it leads to a noose around my neck. WARNING: There are graphic scenes that some people may find disturbing. Not for the faint of heart!
Excerpt: “
“Do I look like a gentleman to you?” Raven stared hard at Lady Elizabeth’s flawless face and wide sapphire eyes. To scare her, he inched closer and let his eyes feast upon the valley between her rounded breasts barely covered by her dress. Raising his head, he noted how her rosebud lips snapped shut and her cheeks flushed pink. Unable to resist, he smoothed the pad of his thumb over her delicate cheekbone.
“Make no mistake. Chance allowed my presence today. That is all. I am nothing like the men you know. I'm a ghost. Do not come back to these woods again. I do not live by your rules, nor will I. Now go.”
When Lady Elizabeth frowned but touched his hand, he pulled away and shouted to scare her for both their sakes.
“Go before I change my mind.”
