The Wiccan
Haus: A Man Worth Fighting For
By Sara Daniel
The
Wiccan Haus intrigued me from the moment I heard Musa Publishing was developing
a magical world that was open to submissions. I saw the cover for the first
book in the series, and I couldn’t look away from the intense, rugged hero. I
bought my copy of Shifting Hearts by
Dominique Eastwick as soon as it was available and read it that night. I fell
in love with the quirky cast of characters that inhabited the island, and I
knew I wanted to create a story in that world.
I’d
never written paranormal before, and I’d never written for a shared world. I
had reservations about both. They were immediately put to rest. Incorporating
magic and paranormal elements gave me so much story depth that wouldn’t have
been possible in a straight contemporary. The characters of the Wiccan Haus were
a ready-made, fun, quirky cast. I fell in love with each one, as they took
turns pushing Justin and Holly to grow, heal, and recognize their love for each
other.
A Man Worth Fighting For
He has nothing left to offer. She's determined to show
him just how much he's worth.
Shot
by a member of his military team, Justin Lawson retreats to the Wiccan Haus. Holly
Walters refuses to accept her boyfriend's out-of-the-blue rejection without an
explanation, even if getting the answers forces her to be trapped on a bizarre
island for an entire week. She's going to use every minute to work Justin out
of her system once and for all. Justin's body and spirit begin to heal under
Holly's loving ministrations. As she talks about never seeing each other again,
he realizes he never wants to let her go. But the rogue assassin who had gone
after Justin before is after him again. Before he can fight to make Holly
believe in their love, he'll have to fight for both their lives.
Excerpt:
“How
did you hurt your knee?” Holly asked.
“Occupational hazard,” Justin muttered.
That
wasn’t very comforting, considering he was in the military and always going off
on missions that he couldn’t give her any details about. “Did you fall and
break it?”
“Bullet
shattered it.” His words were clipped.
She
flinched, wanting desperately to reach for him, hating to think of the pain
he’d been in, the pain she’d known nothing about. “And how long before or after
this happened did you send me an eight word break-up text?”
“About
seventy-two hours after.”
She
immediately knew she’d been right not to take his text at face value. The
self-destruction of a client and the week of lost work were worth it. She’d
needed this explanation. More than that, it proved there was still hope for them.
“So you conceivably could have still been under the effects of anesthesia.”
“I
wasn’t.”
“But
you were on pain medication for sure.”
“Don’t
make excuses for me. I was an ass. I broke up with you, and you deserve
better.”

The excerpt is quite intriguing and the cover is mucho caliente.
Wiccan Haus is such a fun world and this book is a fabulous addition to it! I loved the story and the wonderful characters. Holly and Justin are fantastic together. Plus, there's this wonderful thriller aspect that brings a new dimension of danger and intrigue to the world of Wiccan Haus. I'm hooked on the series too, Sara! Can't wait to read your next one!!
Great work! Good luck with your book.
