#MFRWHooks A Witch’s Holiday Wedding – 99 Cent Sale
For #MFRWhooks this week I’m still celebrating Christmas in July with 99 cent Sale on A WITCH’S HOLIDAY WEDDING! from the award winning A Witch’s Journey Series. I hope you bear with me for one more excerpt. A small town paranormal romance/mystery. It’s down to the wire, will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans? Then Lathen’s covert military mission threatens life as he knows it. Torn in too many directions will Pepper and Lathen make it to the altar?
Another aspect to this book and A WItch’s Journey Series is the disabled vets that Lathen mentors and assists in finding jobs to better their lives. Once a wounded vet himself, alienated and angry, Lathen met Pepper and learned the secrets the animals hold. They don’t judge. They listen. They are able see right into your soul and comfort. They know what you need, if you only listen. At least that’s the way I feel. Wildlife rescue and rehab is near and dear to my heart. Heck, rescue of any animal is high on my list. Recently, I read an fantastic article that confirmed my thoughts and believes in the relationship between human and parrots, another of my passions. After you take a gander at my book hook, and when you have a few minutes, take a peek at this sobering and thought provoking article from the New York Times Magazine. I think you’ll find it quite informative. Especially if you are an animal lover. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/magazine/what-does-a-parrot-know-about-ptsd.html
So pull up a chair and get comfy, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about A Witch’s Holiday Wedding!
A bit about A Witch’s Holiday Wedding:
Elemental witch, Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz have built Lobster Cove Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. During a romantic interlude on Halloween night, Pepper happily agrees to become Lathen’s wife. What better day than Winter Solstice for their wedding in a town that loves celebrations and Christmas. However, planning a wedding and operating their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.
When the couple takes a much-needed break for Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife. Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission, while trying to deal with issues concerning friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?
A sneak peek between the pages of A Witch’s Holiday Wedding: The hook.
The flurry of voices faded away as Pepper watched the ebb and flow of the negotiations between the two men, while the others in the room looked on. Was Lathen torn between his commitment to the Center and life as a SEAL? She needed him there—Until a few years ago, most of his adult life was spent in service to his country, a commitment he’d given freely until he’d sustained life altering injuries.
Was it possible to return to the SEALs? From what she’d heard and read, that wasn’t likely. So what did they want him to do? Or were they willing to make an exception? She couldn’t…wouldn’t think about that, she was overreacting. Despite her resolve, her thoughts kept swirling. Would taking this assignment require long absences from her—the Lobster Cove Wildlife Rehab & Rescue Center they built? That would never work. She needed him—the Center needed him. Alec and Mike the disabled vets they’d employed depended on him in more ways…
“Pepper…Pepper…” Lathen’s voice penetrated her thoughts. “What do you think?”
She blinked and peered up at him. “About what?” When she took a minute to clear her head, she glanced from his steeled expression to the Lt. Commander’s thunderous demeanor. There was really no other way to describe it. A storm raged beneath the commander’s attempt at a calm facade. Her lips twitched, he hadn’t expected this. Or had he?

Makes me wonder what’s really going on
Which is the whole idea. Thanks for stopping by Janet!
So much standing in their way! And more beneath the surface, I’m guessing…
That would be a good guess! Thanks for popping in!
Excellent excerpt!
Thank you Holly! Have a great weekend! Glad you stopped by!
Ooh… He’s gonna have to choose: his past with the SEALS or a future with the woman he loves. Love it.
Or maybe he’ll figure out how to have both. LOL Thanks for stopping by Amber!
Wow! Such tension! I wonder how they will resolve their issues before the wedding… If there still is a wedding?
