Candlelit Magic by Wendi Zwaduk
Contemporary, Paranormal, Erotic, M/F
Novella
Even love witches get the blues.
Havan’s magical potions bring couples together and give them the happily ever after of their dreams. Too bad her spells don’t work for her. In Erie View, the townspeople see nothing more than a witch. All she wants is to find that special man to embrace her quirks and love her. Will she be able to accept the blessings of the Goddesses or lose faith in herself?
Neil doesn’t believe in magic. It’s trickery for television and movies. No one creates a spell for people to fall in love. Hell, he doesn’t even believe in love. After a string of crappy dates and dead-end romances, he’s through with relationships. But a chance meeting at the grocery store changes his mind. Havan’s nothing like he expects—but is the blue haired witch enough to make him give romance another shot?

And now for that SNOG!!! Yay!
The
witch stood beside the car, the light from the street lamp illuminating her
hair. She didn’t look at him, but didn’t move. So tiny and lonely next to the
big vehicle. His heart broke. He’d been an ass to her and he needed to make
things up to her.
“Havan.”
Neil stopped beside her. He tugged her into his arms and stroked her hair. She
felt so good in his embrace, perfect. “I’m so sorry, Havan. I’m not even sure
what I want to say, but I like you.” He kissed the top of her head and closed
his eyes. Her various bracelets and earrings jangled like sweet music in his
head. He could hold her forever. “I’m sorry I’m being too pushy and pressing
too hard. I’m a thirty-five-year-old construction worker who knows shit about
dating, but I’m willing to learn. Give me another chance?”
She
smoothed one hand up his chest, resting her palm over his heart. “You’re a good
man,” she whispered. “You’re trying too hard and crushing me.”
“Because
I like you.” He cupped her jaw in one hand and swiped his thumb over her cheek.
Her eyes shone with unshed tears and she licked her bottom lip. He liked her
more than he understood.
Neil
lowered his mouth to hers and tasted her. She moaned beneath him and gripped
his jacket, but didn’t pull away. From his head to his toes, his body vibrated.
His skin tingled and when he opened his eyes for just a moment, he could’ve
sworn she glowed. Did witches glow when they were turned on? He closed his eyes
and tangled his tongue with hers. Something powerful passed between them and he
never wanted to let her go.
After
less than one date and a chance meeting at the shop, he’d fallen more than a
little in love with her. Bullshit. Love didn’t happen that fast. But something had
changed. The potion? No, he hadn’t drunk it. Had she spoken magical words? He
doubted she’d said anything like that. She didn’t seem to believe in herself
enough to try something devious.
Still,
he refused to deny his attraction to her. He wanted more dates with her and to
explore every inch of her delectable body. Now he had to hope she wanted the
same thing from him.
Havan
melted into his arms. He made bad jokes, but lots of people insulated
themselves with insults against what they didn’t understand. Having a witch in
town certainly left her open to being the object of ridicule. But he seemed to
be different. Neil, despite all his faults, seemed to care. She clutched the
sides of his coat and sighed into his kiss. The fever came over her again and
she held him tighter. Venus must’ve smiled down on her or predetermined that she
belonged to Neil. Couldn’t have been the potion. Could it?
Havan
pulled away from him and stared into Neil’s blue eyes. His cheeks were flushed
and his lips parted. “Come home with me.”
She
had longed to hear him say those words, but doubt crossed her mind. “Did you
take the potion?”
“Nope.”
Question: What is Havan worried Neil took?
