“Do you want my hands on you, Beatrice?" I murmur.  She inhales. "Too much." 
***
It begins with a billionaire named King, a witch whose power is death, and a dare. Sebastian King’s legacy is fighting the rising power of witches in New York City. As a necromancer, witch Beatrice Hathaway knows her magic destroys. When a string of murders threatens to destroy the fragile peace in their city, Sebastian dares Beatrice to work together to catch the killer. 
***
Their investigation reveals an undeniable want between them, but Beatrice’s darkest secret is the reason why Sebastian’s parents are dead. A woman whose power is death doesn’t get the guy. Beatrice knows how this story will end…or does she? And will Sebastian risk the life written for him to dare to love a witch? For every beginning is also an ending, but magic - and love - always exacts a price.

The Bewitched Billion Dare

I see it first because I’m up first. I’m always up first. 


The headline on the human news channel only catches my attention because I know Beatrice is hiding at KingsGuard. Anything related is important in my calculation of how to feel about my cousin. 


The headline reads:  GUARDIAN KING REQUESTS COVEN AID, ADMITS POLICE USELESS. 


I exhale air I hadn’t known I was holding. The headline doesn’t refer to her latest stunt, those dumb*ss dancing men. Instead, it’s about something that actually matters:  the ongoing murder of witches.  I watch the interview with the King prince, Sebastian. My head tilts. I don’t know what I think. 


“More baked beans, Lydia?” My aunt Hecate interrupts me. 


“Yes,” I push a smile out onto my face. She doesn’t know I know where Beatrice is hiding, and I’m keen to keep it that way for now.


Her eyes flick to the news, “All of the witch victims are of little consequence. Among the lowest ranks within our least powerful covens.”
