Hecate's Own Cover!

Look what was in my mailbox this morning! Mmm. Zach...


Zachary Beckett has been a screw-up most of his life, but he's finally done something right. He saved his brother's life at great personal cost, and now he's on his way to Cleveland to train as a witch. There he meets Johra Yashodar, a teacher with the belief that Zach is still a screw-up. It isn't long before Zach realizes he's hot for teacher. 
Jo has never met someone like Zachary Beckett. His blue eyes haunt her, his body is made for sin and his magic... well. The less said about that the better. He's the worst witch she's ever met, bar none. But Jo is determined to help him, and to do that she'll fight the attraction she feels toward him tooth and nail. 
But things aren't always what they seem, and when Zach realizes he's under a hex he comes into his own... as one of Hecate's Own. Chosen by the Goddess Herself to fight evil, it's up to Zach and his brothers to save Jo from a fate worse than death.

The blurb hasn't been edited yet and will probably change, but cover art means the paperwork with the release date shouldn't be far behind. YAY! The second Beckett brother will finally get his story told.

P.S.: For those who have asked me about print releases for the Heart's Desire series (and for Cynful), Samhain's policy is ten to twelve months from the ebook release date for it to go into print, and then only if the book is eligible (i.e., length). For instance, you may never see the True Destiny series in print, but you should see Shadow of the Wolf and Hecate's Own as well as  Cynful, as they meet the length requirement. Once I know for certain, I'll post print dates and it will go up on my Coming Soon page under PRINT.

P.P.S.: I think Dusty wants Zach's jacket.
