The Kiss Curse

Gwyn Jones ist zufrieden mit ihrem Leben in Graves Glen: mit Something Wicked betreibt sie einen erfolgreichen Laden für magische Artefakte, sie hat mit ihrer Mutter und ihrer Cousine einen Hexenzirkel gegründet und ist eine beliebte Mentorin für die jüngeren Hexen der Stadt. Dann steht Halloween vor der Tür und damit auch Wells Penhallow. Der älteste Sohn einer mächtigen schottischen Hexenfamilie hat genug von einem Leben voller Verpflichtungen und beschlossen, in Graves Glen einen Laden für magische Artefakte zu eröffnen - direkt gegenüber von Something Wicked! Selbstverständlich können Gwyn und Wells einander nicht ausstehen, und dieser eine kleine Kuss, der eines Abends zufällig passiert, ist natürlich ein gewaltiger Fehler. Doch als ein neuer Hexenzirkel in der Stadt auftaucht, verliert Gwyn ihre magischen Kräfte. Und der Einzige, der ihr helfen kann, ist Wells ....

New York Times BestsellerErin Sterling casts a delightful spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong."A delightful and witty take on witchy mayhem." -- PopsugarNine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths...and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn't use her magic this way, but with only an "orchard hayride" scented candle on hand, she isn't worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town's ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town's ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it's too late.

Als Vivienne Jones von Rhys Penhallow verlassen wird, tut sie, was jede junge Hexe an ihrer Stelle getan hätte: Sie lässt sich ein Bad ein, mixt sich einen ordentlichen Drink und verflucht den Mistkerl, der ihr das Herz gebrochen hat. Neun Jahre später ist Vivi immer noch nicht über Rhys hinweg, und als dieser zum jährlichen Herbstfest nach Graves Glen zurückkehrt, beschließt sie, ihn zu ignorieren. Leichter gesagt als getan, denn Vivis alter Fluch entfaltet mit Rhys Besuch erst seine volle Wirkung, und plötzlich ist das ganze Städtchen in Gefahr. Um den Fluch zu brechen, müssen Rhys und Vivi - zunächst äußerst widerwillig - zusammenarbeiten. Doch schon bald merken die beiden, dass die Funken nicht mehr nur in den Leylinien unter der Stadt sprühen ...

Fall under the spell of Erin Sterling's witchy romances! <BR> <BR> The New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse brightens up the Winter Solstice with another delightfully spooky novel following Bowen Penhallow and the girl he feels strangely drawn to - especially when she becomes his only hope of salvation after a strong spell sends them to a Yuletide celebration . . . more than 50 years in the past.<BR><BR><BR> Bowen Penhallow has always been a loner, studying dark and ancient magic on a mountaintop in Wales. He prefers it that way, but when his friend Colin - who happens to be a ghost - asks him to attend a Yuletide wedding at a grand estate deep in the Welsh countryside, Bowen reluctantly agrees.<BR><BR> As a procurer and seller of magical items, Tamsyn Bligh's business is not always above board, but she's been trying to fix that (mostly.) Bowen is an occasional customer - as well as the star of several of Tamsyn's dirtiest dreams - but she's been around enough witches to know that, as a human, getting involved with one is not the smartest idea. She's finagled an invite to the Witchy Wedding of the Century in the hopes of finally making a score big enough to retire. Just one priceless magical artefact from Tywyll House would set her up for life.<BR><BR> But Tamsyn isn't the only one sneaking about in Tywyll House, and the mix of a very strong spell combined with a wedding mishap transports Bowen and Tamsyn into Tywyll House's past, to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958. As Bowen and Tamsyn work together to get back to the present, they must also face off with the origins of Tywyll House's haunting, the suspicions of their fellow witches . . . oh, and the fact that somewhere between the mistletoe and the bonfire, they might be falling in love.<BR><BR><BR> Praise for The Ex Hex, an unmissable treat!<BR> <BR> 'A spooky romantic comedy treat that had me sighing at one page, laughing out loud at the next' TESSA BAILEY<BR> <BR> 'Sterling casts a spell on her readers with this romantic comedy' USA Today<BR><BR> 'Filled with delightful witchiness and humor' Publishers Weekly<BR><BR> 'A fun, sexy romantic comedy' Library Journal<BR><BR> 'A pitch-perfect paranormal romantic comedy' Shelf Awareness<BR><BR> 'A wickedly funny rom-com about the power of second chances, family, and love' Kirkus<BR><BR> 'A delightful and witty take on witchy mayhem' Popsugar<BR><BR> 'Diverting, magic-infused romance' Booklist<BR><BR> 'Hocus Pocus vibes, but with a lot more heat' Bookriot<BR><BR> 'Humorous, magical, and sexy' Girly Book Club<BR><BR> 'This festive rom-com has it all!'
