Daughter of the Spellcaster - Paperback

by Maggie Shayne (Author)

Anything for their child

Magdalena knows Ryan is a playboy from the start, but is compelled by his resemblance to the man of her recurrent dreams and fantasies who'd adored her in another lifetime; the man who'd tried to save her life, and failed. She can't resist him.

The affair is fire, the pregnancy unintended, his reaction predictable. So without telling Ryan why, she retreats to a house on a broken down, one-time vineyard with her mom. They're a pair of natural witches laying low in New York's wine country and though she misses Ryan, life is good.

For a little while.

Months later, upon learning the truth, Ryan appears at her door. And that's when the trouble begins, as townsfolk, including her own doctor, begin to show a creepy level of interest in her baby, and something supernatural seems to be trying to keep her from leaving the area. Then she has a vision of Ryan plunging a golden dagger into her heart- dagger she later finds hidden in his truck.

Ryan only wants to protect her and their child as a vengeful demon plots to take possession of the infant's body and kill Magdalena.

The only hand capable of wielding the dagger of her death is Ryan's. As labor hits hard, the demon's power over him grows.

Magdalena's only hope is perfect love, perfect trust, and all the magic she can muster. Will it be enough to save her baby?
