Ravenna Chastain comes from a long line of psychic profilers, but when her current job almost ends her life, she’s determined to make a change. Ravenna becomes a matchmaker and is about to have her first failure. Ethan Sweetwater’s family has been connected to the Arcane Society and the Hunters Guild for hundreds of years. He’s using a matchmaker to find a Covenant Marriage. Ethan is determined to finish the contract with the matchmaker. Ravenna and Ethan come to a deal that put them into a relationship that may be true love or just may end their lives.
Jayne Castle, also known as Jayne Ann Krentz, takes us on another trip to Harmony and into Illusion Town with her new book SWEETWATER AND THE WITCH. Castle combines two very strong psychic families with a lineage going back to the Old World of Earth. Ravenna and Ethan are keeping their individual secrets and are put in danger when a former case and a new one come for each of them and interfere while they are getting to know one another. A deal they make might turn into a permanent match between them. . . or tear them apart.
SWEETWATER AND THE WITCH has suspense, danger, some passion, bad guys, and references to what the author calls her "Jayne-verse," including the much-loved dust bunnies, fireworks, and a large kettle of popcorn. The ever-popular dust bunny who takes center stage also has a unique collection and there is always a mystery if the pens are acquired illegally or not!
Jayne Castle takes the reader on a unique, wild journey through the world of Harmony and the streets of Illusion Town with SWEETWATER AND THE WITCH. Jayne Ann Krentz, as always, whether writing as herself, Jayne Castle, or Amanda Quick, seamlessly weaves intriguing details about the complex world she has created throughout her stories and has readers always clamoring for more no matter the name she writes under. This reader can’t wait for the next book no matter the name!
Welcome to the world of Harmony, where—despite its name, things are anything but—danger lurks just beneath the surface in this new novel by New York Times bestselling author, Jayne Castle.
If there’s something Ravenna Chastain knows, it’s when to end things. And after she almost winds up the victim of a cult that believes she’s a witch, it’s easy to walk away from her dead-end career, ready for a new start. But where to find a job that would allow her to use her very specialized skill set? The answer is clear: she becomes a matchmaker.
But even a successful matchmaker can’t find someone for everyone, and Ravenna considers Ethan Sweetwater her first professional failure. After nine failed dates, Ravenna knows it’s time to cut Ethan loose. But Ethan refuses to be fired as a client—he needs one final date to a business function. Since Ravenna needs a date herself to a family event, they agree to a deal: she will be his (business) date if he will be her (fake) date to her grandparents’ anniversary celebration.
What Ethan fails to mention is that attending the business function is a cover for some industrial espionage that he’s doing as a favor to the new Illusion Town Guild boss. Ravenna is happy to help, but their relationship gets even more complicated when things heat up—the chemistry between them is explosive, as explosive as the danger that’s stalking Ravenna. Lucky for her, Ethan isn’t just an engineer—he’s also a Sweetwater, and Sweetwaters are known for hunting down monsters…
