A Dead and Stormy Night Read online

  Then fairies killed my parents and shot the whole plan to hell.

  I've inherited a real, honest-to-goodness English castle – complete with turrets, ramparts, and four gorgeous male tenants, who I'm totally not in love with.

  Not at all.

  It would be crazy to fall for four guys at once, even though they're totally gorgeous and amazing and wonderful and kind.

  But not as crazy as finding out I'm a witch. A week ago, I didn’t even believe magic existed, and now I’m up to my ears in spells and prophetic dreams and messages from the dead.

  When we're together – and I'm talking in the Biblical sense – the five of us wield a powerful magic that can banish the fae forever. They intend to stop us by killing us all.

  I can't science my way out of this mess.

  Forget NASA, it’s going to take all my smarts just to survive Briarwood Castle.
