When a teenager mysteriously disappears in Hawick Falls, New Hampshire, Lisa Raynes fears her kidnapper, who recently escaped from prison, is hunting girls again. She also believes he’s targeted her and is sending her anonymous threats. To add to her problems, her ex-boyfriend Travis Bodell, nephew of her captor, shows up in town. Five years ago, he promised to love her forever, but he left her to start a new life. Trusting him was a mistake she won’t ever repeat. 

Bad boy Travis Bodell has a history of run-ins with the law. The police suspect he came back to aid his uncle, not to warn Lisa she’s in danger. With the investigation going nowhere, Travis focuses on Lisa who identifies with the missing teen and wants to find her. To keep Lisa safe, he offers to help her search. She refuses until loving memories of their past surface, and she finally accepts his proposal. Working together arouses stronger feelings of attraction that neither will admit. 

As time runs out for the kidnap victim,  disturbing threats against Midnight Girl, Lisa’s online name, grow. She realizes the only way to stay alive is to open her heart and trust Travis, but can she let go of her doubts and lingering hurt? Can the couple join forces and win against a cunning criminal fueled by hate?

Discover the 17th-century magic of Witchwood

The day of his arrival in colonial Massachusetts in 1692, Desmond Harvey is befriended by four witches claiming to be travelers from the 21st century.

Being a witch and practicing magic could mean the difference between life and death. Swinging by a tree branch with a noose around your neck was the death part. But there was always a downside to not practicing magic, too. When you needed it the most, it didn't work. It was a hard lesson to learn that came at a cost. It was a damned if you do and a damned if you don't kind of situation. You had to weigh your options and choose very carefully.

She brushed her fingers across her lips. "Baby Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. You kiss her like that, Desmond Harvey, and she's bound to be yours until her dying day, and perhaps even after that."

Gillian brushed her fingers across her lips. “Baby Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. You kiss her like that, Desmond Harvey, and she’s bound to be yours until her dying day, and perhaps even after that.”
No one really knew for sure if the legends about the Harvey witches were true, unless you were a witch, of course. Everyone certainly liked the idea of visiting the pretty little town called Ferntree Falls, however, where supposedly the very first Harvey witch had settled after escaping witch hunters in England during the 17th century.
