ANSWER: Elinor – Elinor is the heroine of FOOLISH BRIDE. Finding it easier to seem simple and unaware, she’s played the fool all her life. When her father ends her engagement just before the wedding and Michael makes no attempt to fight for her, we see the real Elinor. She’s magnificent!

Most likely to play peacemaker?

ANSWER: Thomas – Thomas is the hero from DESPERATE BRIDE. He’s long been the peacemaker among his friends. He is the voice of reason when the world goes mad. A spy during the war, he’s cool under pressure. However, when his best friend’s sister comes with a marriage proposal, his control slips. Below her station, he declines until he sees the old sod her parents plan to betroth her to. He’ll risk his heart to keep her happy even if she’ll never return his feelings.

 

Most likely to develop an unlikely friendship?

ANSWER: Sophia – Sophia is the heroine from TAINTED BRIDE. She’s an American who’s been sent to London to escape a terrible scandal and find a husband.

Most likely to take a chance of a lifetime?

ANSWER: Sophia – Sophia (TAINTED BRIDE) got on a boat and crossed the Atlantic to find a new life after her world in Philadelphia was shattered.

 

Most likely to be swayed by a convincing argument rather than a feeling or vice versa?

MAGIC WORD by A.S. Fenichel

Witches of Windsor #2

Magic Word

MINERVA
While I prefer simple magics, and hide my more deadly skills, I can defend myself. My gift, shield magic, makes me impervious to dark magic, so my coven sent me to determine what evil lurks inside the Kent coven in the town of Maidstone. I’m to stay with a trusted nonmagical apothecary who has petitioned for entry to the Witches of Windsor. Jonah Allen lives outside of Maidstone. I’ll be safe at his home. I expect to find a bookish man bent over his concoctions, but instead, I find a hulking bear of a man who stimulates more than my intellect…

JONAH
Though born to a powerful witch, I have no practical magic. Forced from my birth coven, I use my knowledge of medicines in nature as an apothecary, but living among ordinary people is a foreign, lonely existence. I’ve heard the Windsor coven is more open-minded about membership, and I have nothing to lose by requesting admission.

Windsor sends a powerful witch to stay with me while she investigates the local coven. One look at Minerva Honeywell shatters everything I thought I knew about witches. She’s kind and thoughtful, and I’m under her spell from the start. My future in her coven—and in her life—depend on us finding the source of dark magic and keeping it far from Windsor and the king.

About A.S. Fenichel

A.S. Fenichel

A.S. Fenichel (Andrea) gave up a successful IT career in New York City to follow her husband to Texas and pursue her lifelong dream of being a professional writer. She's never looked back. Andrea adores writing stories filled with love, passion, desire, magic and maybe a little mayhem tossed in for good measure. Books have always been her perfect escape and she still relishes diving into one and staying up all night to finish a good story. Originally from New York, she grew up in New Jersey, and now lives in the East Texas with her real life hero, her wonderful husband, a fussy cat and a demanding dog. When not reading or writing she enjoys cooking, travel, history, and puttering in her garden.
