M L Stoughton

When her
father begins restoring an enormous, ancient rundown house in the middle of the
California woods, Melinda Richards is instantly captivated. Steeped in mystery,
the grand old structure, dubbed Sotheby House, boasts a history—and power—that
Melinda would never guess. She’s lured back time and again, especially after
meeting a handsome stranger in the nearby woods. Strong, soothing,
charming…Luke makes her feel calm and excited all at once, and it’s not long
before Melinda is spending every spare moment with the enigmatic young man.



Luke
Sotheby is in trouble—in more ways than one. Not only is his magical world,
Pleasantwick, under attack by dark witches, but his ancestral home, the very
portal to that world, has been bought by a commoner! And worse—he’s falling for
the commoner’s daughter. Melinda is smart, sweet, brave…she makes him feel
things he’s never experienced (and for an empath, that’s really saying something). At a time when all his energy should be
focused on the preservation of his home and the safety of his people, Luke is
drawn to Melinda on a soul-deep level that’s impossible to ignore.



As the magical
battle spills over into the common world, the young couple begins to face
dangers the likes of which neither has ever known. Lives will be lost, secrets
revealed, and if Pleasantwick falls, Melinda and Luke could be
separated—forever.
