Belle, Book and Candle

Do you believe in magic? Sky St Clair doesn't, and growing up in Castle Clair, a small town renowned for its mystical past and magical legends, she never felt she belonged.

Sky got away from Castle Clair as soon as she could, but when a run of bad luck leaves her homeless and jobless, she has little choice but to accept her sister Star's invitation to return home for the festive season.

When Star has an accident, Sky finds herself running the family's magical supplies shop. Wands, crystals, pendulums... Really? It's a tough job when she doesn't believe in the products she's selling, but how can she? Magic isn't real, no matter what her deluded siblings think.

Jethro Richmond doesn't believe in magic either. In fact, he doesn't believe in anything much any more, which is proving to be a bit of a problem for a writer of fantasy novels. With a self-constructed wall around his heart as high as Clair Tower, and his dreams as ruined as the town's ancient castle, he's lost all hope of repairing his tattered career.

The last thing he needs is to get involved with a family like the St Clairs, and no matter what a certain little black cat seems to want Jethro has no intention of spending any time with Sky or her unusual sisters.

But this is a strange little town and, as the residents prepare to celebrate Christmas, Sky and Jethro might just discover that in Castle Clair, anything is possible. Even magic.

The Witches of Castle Clair books are non-steamy, lighthearted paranormal romances, written in British English. They should be read in order for your best reading experience.
