THE WEREWOLF...
THE WIZARD...
THE FAIRY...
AND
THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM.
Synopsis:
PART ONE: SEEK & FIND (COLT & HARPER)
Colt Withers' life changed October 31st, 2012. That Halloween night, he needed to forget his twin sister Rachel. Unexpectedly, he stumbles upon a wicked voodoo queen. Now, after a not-so-lucky encounter, Colt must find his true love, gain her love, and learn to love himself, all before the New Year is rung in. Or forever remain a werewolf.
Harper Grace has been quiet and reserved ever since her mother died when she was twelve. She has tried to be in control of everything. Her dad tries his best and Harper loves him for it, but without her mom, she is lost--until she meets the mysterious Colt Withers. Colt is like no one else she has ever met, but she knows he has secrets-- things that she doesn't do well with, since she can't control the outcome. And she hates not being in control. When he reveals his secrets, can she handle it and stand by the only person to make her feel alive since the passing of her mother, or will she run and revert back into her self-controlled shell?
PART TWO: FINDING OZZIE (OZZIE AND REBECCA)
When you watch your best friend find her soul mate, it's hard not to want that for yourself. That was how Rebecca Patton felt watching her friend Harper fall in love with Colt. But an ordinary girl's night out with Harper changes everything when Becca meets Ozzie. She feels a connection to him, but then he disappears for five months, and Becca begins to question whether or not it is possible for her to have the fairy tale. When he comes back, Becca will have to determine if she can have faith and trust as she takes a chance on this very handsome—and very mysterious—man.
Ozzie is a wizard. And a pretty important one, at that. As son of the Headmaster of West Witch Academy, a "special" hidden school in a shady part of New Orleans, he certainly has his future planned out for him. But it's not particularly one that he wants—especially now that he's met Rebecca. But his dad's all-too-young "woman" is into some sick and twisted games, and if he wants to escape his so-called destiny and have a chance at forever with Rebecca, he is going to have to play them.
PART THREE: SEEKING NEVERLAND (PETER & FOREST)
Forest McAdams just moved into New Orleans and knows no one until she meets her neighbor Rebecca Patton and her fiancé Ozzie. They seem nice and soon she is hanging out with Becca's friends. That was how she met Peter, sort of. Ozzie's best friend. His crystal blue eyes seer through her and before she can blink she's in Peter's arms and their fighting to save his life.
Peter is a fairy, yep that's right wings, flying and a bit of magic dust. No one knows his true identity, not even Ozzie who he has known his whole life. He wasn't always a fairy. The change happened two years ago when his father suddenly disappeared, the only reason he was given, his mother. When he reconnects with Forest they get thrown into a world where make believe becomes reality, and second chances are possible. Peter just wants peace, nirvana, Neverland.
One more game, faith and trust.
Ask yourself do you believe in fairies?
EXCERPT:
PART 3: SEEKING NEVERLAND
PETER & FOREST (THE FAIRY)
THE FINAL GAME
Forest
"Forest!" Her new neighbor Becca calls from outside while banging on the door. They're going out tonight Becca, her fiancé Ozzie and they're meeting Becca's friends Harper and Colt.
This isn't the part that terrifies Forest. She has met Harper before, not her husband Colt but she knew from Becca and Harper he was nice. She trusted that. Ozzie, Becca's fiancé is awesome. He and Becca live together so they had become friends too. It was the other person joining them that terrified her. Ozzie's best friend Peter.
Forest had lived in New Orleans briefly once when she was fourteen and she a met boy that summer before leaving named Peter. Forest hadn't told Becca yet, but for some reason deep in her gut she had feeling this was going to be the same Peter.
The one that promised to call and write. Although at the time Forest believed him and believed in fairy tales she didn't anymore. Peter hadn't followed through with his promises, but really what was she to expect they were fourteen?
Opening the door she sighed, "why did I let you talk me into this get together? And where's Ozzie?"
Becca chuckled, "if you had any idea about how that last question relates to everything Ozzie and I are together you'd laugh, but to answer it since I actually know, he's at Peter's. Seems you are not the only one in need of persuasion for this get together. And to your first question because you are curious about meeting Colt and Peter. Now let's go Chica." She grabbed Forest's hand and proceeded to drag her out the door.
Why oh why her?
Peter
"Dude seriously, you're letting your fiancée meddle. I'm not interested. Fuck man you won't even tell me her name." Peter was beyond frustrated with his friend for this. He had no clue why he was even going.
"Forest." Ozzie responded cooly rocking on his heels, his hands in his pocket.
Peter's head snapped towards his friend, "what did you say?" No way this was possible. Could this be the same Forest from the summer he was fourteen? He only told Ozzie about a girl because saying her name after she had move away hurt.
It hurt so much he never followed through on his promise to her, he couldn't bear that they were no longer going to see each other every day. No way! She couldn't be back, this girl Ozzie and Becca had been dying for him to meet couldn't be her, it wasn't possible. She was the reason Peter had told Ozzie what he and Becca had would never happen for him. It had already happened and he had blown it by not staying in contact with her.
A year after she moved away he got a letter from her. She had called him several times but he never answered. Honestly it was because he missed her. He was fourteen and had fallen so hard he didn't know what to do when she left.
"I said her name is Forest. And Peter I think you'll like her." Peter shook his head and fell back onto his couch.
"No Ozzie I love her." He spit out.
"Umm...mind explaining that a little further man?" Ozzie asked sitting next to him.
"Remember that girl from the summer when we were fourteen?" Ozzie nodded but remained silent. "Dude her name was Forest. How many people name their kid Forest?" Ozzie's eyes widened.
"What are you waiting for then Peter? This is your second chance. You talked about that girl every damn day for a year." Ozzie didn't know the half of it.
"Ozzie I broke a promise. She hates me I have the letter to prove it." Ozzie shook head and grabbed Peter's arm taking him with him as he stood.
"We're going now. You're going to trust me on this. I thought I had blown it with Becca too, not once but twice so let's go. It's time you believe in the faith and trust crap Harper spews out, because guess what you're never going to understand it, but if you believe it all things are possible, even fairy tales."
With that statement Ozzie shoved Peter out of the apartment. He still didn't have a good feeling about this, but he was going to go with it and hoped Ozzie was right.
Thank you all again for the amazing support...this book will be better than the simple novella series I was putting together and worth the wait.
