Love Potions by Michelle M. Pillow
A Warlocks MacGregor Novel
Entangled Publishing
A little magickal mischief
never hurt anyone...
Erik MacGregor, from a clan of ancient Scottish
warlocks, isn’t looking for love. After centuries, it’s not even a
consideration…until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It’s clear that the
shy beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he’s drawn to her nonetheless and
determined to win her over.
Lydia Barratt just wants to be left alone to grow
flowers and make lotions in her old Victorian home. The last thing she needs is
a demanding Scottish man meddling in her private life. Just because he’s
gorgeous and totally rocks a kilt doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for his
seductive manner.
But Erik won’t give up and just as Lydia let’s
her guard down, his sister decides to get involved. Her little love potion
prank goes terribly wrong, making Lydia the target of his sudden embarrassingly
obsessive behavior. They’ll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell
fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry
about. Evil lurks within the shadows and
it plans to use Lydia, alive or dead, to take out Erik and his clan for good.

Teaser Excerpt:
Movement appeared out of the corner of
her eye and she spun to the side. Nothing was there. Lydia gave a short laugh,
trying to dismiss her apprehension as nerves about the upcoming date and her
grandmother’s ghostly presence lingering around.
She leaned over and flipped the pile of
dresses to study the first two she’d tried on. To herself, she asked, “Sexy
vixen,” she lifted a red and then a black, “or seductively understated?” Then,
louder, she asked, “What do you think, Gramma? Should I just wear the Halloween
princess gown?”
She felt a light yank on her hair and
dropped both garments. Spinning, she was caught between a startled scream and a
scolding. Nothing was there. Her heart beat a little faster.
“That’s not funny,” she whispered,
taking deep breaths.
The temperature of the room dropped
dramatically, so that she could see the pants of air coming from her mouth. Her
grandmother’s ghost never made the entire room this cold. Lydia shivered
violently, feeling sick to her stomach. Another tug pulled her hair, harder
this time. She spun around only to have her hair pulled again from behind. She
turned again and again, seeing nothing. She swatted her arms, trying to push
back whatever it was, yet her arms fell through air.
“What do you want?” she yelled.
A light humming answered, sounding very
much like a child singing in play.
Lydia cried out, “Stop!”
Instantly, whatever it was obeyed. The
temperature rose to normal yet she still shivered.
Lydia weakly made her way to the
stairs, needing to get away from the room. She stumbled down the hall in her
haste. Her long skirt tangled around her legs and she pulled it up to take the
steps two at a time. The sound of footsteps ran down the upstairs hall. She
trembled in fear, turning to look up the stairs. A shadow came forward with no
figure attached to it before disappearing back down the hall, taking its
footsteps with it.
Trying to watch where she was going,
while keeping an eye on the stairs, she staggered toward the kitchen door. The
footsteps came back and skidded to stop at the top of the stairs. A shadowy
figure loomed above her. The same voice from before began to sing, louder and
clearer, “You can’t hide. You can’t seek. You can’t find the will to speak.”
A
giggle sounded by the couch. Lydia screamed as another shadow appeared in the
living room. Then, suddenly, the roots of her hair were pulled from behind.
