Two
stubborn people—a witch and a mage—come together with a fierceness borne of
desperation. Can passion trump their intense need for independence? Will they
live long enough to find out?
Book Description:
Roz, Jenna, and Colleen are the
last of the demon-stalking witches. So far, they’ve escaped disaster, but their
luck is running low. When demons strike in the midst of Colleen’s wedding, Roz
launches desperate measures because she and her sister witches are Earth’s only
hedge against being overrun by Hell’s minions. As she shape-shifts to keep one
step ahead of the demons, at least it takes her mind off her other problems.
Personal ones. She burned through a couple of marriages with a string of loser
men before, after, and in between. Though she wants to be happy for Colleen,
the jealousy bug bit deep and hasn’t let go.
In Roz’s secret heart she’s
attracted to Ronin, one of the Daoine Sidhe. He’s so profanely beautiful she
can barely breathe around him, but he’s also headstrong and arrogant. Not good
partner material, she tells herself, unless she wants to end up dusting her
heart off one more time.
Ronin set his sights on Roz when
she was at his home in the U.K. for a strategy meeting and he can’t get her out
of his mind. Unfortunately, she’s so prickly getting close to her requires
scheming. He casts an enchantment to lure her at Colleen’s wedding, but she
senses the spell and rebuffs him.
Roz is used to calling the shots.
So is Ronin. Sparks fly. Tempers run hot, right along with an attraction too
strong to be denied. Roz and Ronin come together with a fierceness borne of
desperation, but demons are determined to rid themselves of the witches for
good, no matter what it takes.
About
the Author:
Ann Gimpel is a mountaineer at
heart. Recently retired from a long career as a psychologist, she remembers
many hours at her desk where her body may have been stuck inside four walls,
but her soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn
of the last century (that would be 2000, not 1900!), she managed to finagle
moving to the Eastern Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains.
It was during long backcountry
treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who see the backcountry as an
excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann prefers solitude. Stories
always ran around in her head on those journeys, sometimes as a hedge against
abject terror when challenging conditions made her fear for her life, sometimes
for company. Eventually, she returned from a trip and sat down at the computer.
Three months later, a five hundred page novel emerged. Oh, it wasn’t very good,
but it was a beginning. And, she learned a lot between writing that novel and
its sequel.
Around that time, a friend of
hers suggested she try her hand at short stories. It didn’t take long before
that first story found its way into print and they’ve been accepted pretty
regularly since then. One of Ann’s passions has always been ecology, so her
tales often have a green twist.
In addition to writing, Ann
enjoys wilderness photography. She lugs pounds of camera equipment in her
backpack to distant locales every year. A standing joke is that over ten
percent of her pack weight is camera gear which means someone else has to carry
the food! That someone is her husband. They’ve shared a life together for a
very long time. Children, grandchildren and three wolf hybrids round out their
family.
