A Little Harmless Secret Read online

  Shaking free of those thoughts, she hurried out to relieve Myra and send her home for the day. It was approaching three, and there wasn’t much to do other than close up. Anna could handle the books. And John, her cook, could handle the kitchen. She’d have enough time to get home and clean before Max arrived.

  And, if she kept herself busy, Anna wouldn’t have to think about the fact that she had probably just lost her mind. She’d wanted Max for so long, the temptation with both of them free would probably overwhelm her good judgment. What little of it she had.

  Tequila and Max. She licked her lips. A delightfully dangerous mix.

  Now available everywhere, the third installment of the popular Cursed Clan Series!

  LOGAN

  A man who always sees beneath the surface.

  Logan has lived his dream of being an artist for hundreds of years. He’s painted some of the most beautiful women in the world, but none of them compare to Meghan Campbell. When they are paired up to go after the next jewel, resisting her becomes almost impossible, but he knows he must. The witch is hiding something and until he knows what that is, he cannot fully trust her.

  A woman who can lure any man.

  As a witch with siren abilities, Meg has never had a problem with the opposite sex. That is, until she met Logan. The irritating man seems to be the one person in the world who doesn’t succumb to her spell. Unfortunately, he is the one man she really wants. No matter how hard she tries, he resists her.

  As they embark on their quest for the next jewel, tempers flare and passion ignites. But when a new layer of the curse is revealed, they discover their failure could put lives in danger. The two must work together to fight the rising power against them and hope that those who support the Clan survive the fight.

  Enjoy this excerpt from Logan!

  She heard the sound of feet down the hall and knew her morning solitude was about to be broken. When Jack slid into the room laughing, she smiled in reaction until she saw his companion.

  Logan.

  The man brought about too many feelings to count. Dealing with him on half a cup of coffee was just not fair. And of course, he looked amazing. All that messy hair, his bedroom eyes, and the stubble he hadn’t shaved…how was a woman supposed to ignore all that beauty.

  “Morning, Miss Meghan. How are you this morning?” Jack asked, drawing her attention away from Logan.

  “I’m very fine indeed, Sir Jack.”

  He giggled like he always did. “I am not a sir.”

  She widened her eyes. “But you are the son of Angus, are you not?”

  His smile grew. “I am.”

  She looked up at Logan. “Good morning.”

  “That’s your opinion,” he mumbled as he headed for the coffee. It was out of character for the artist. He’d always seemed to be in a good mood until the last few days.

  “Did you wake Logan?” she asked Jack.

  “Yes, but I needed to wake him. I had a dream,” he said sounding more like the solemn boy Maggie had told her about.

  “Oh, don’t you know not to let dreams bother you?”

  “Some of Jack’s dreams are premonitions,” Logan said as he placed his coffee at the head of the table. Where she liked to sit. Bugger.

  “I understand. But, if they are premonitions, there is nothing we can do about it now.” Meg knew that better than anyone and had paid a steep price. She returned her attention to Jack. “So, Sir Jack, what would you like for breakfast?”

  “I can get my own,” he announced.

  Logan, for his part, had prowled over to the sideboard to get himself some food. As she had thought before, he hadn’t been what she would have pegged as a stereotypical artist. He had the look. But, his temperament had been one of…well, a normal, every day person. Artists, and she had dealt with more than one in her day, tended to be moody and well, more trouble than they were worth. Meg didn’t like moody men. She liked them to be happy and somewhat needy because that’s how she had earned her living for so long.

  Still, it was hard to ignore the way he moved, or those long, artist’s fingers. She could just imagine what he could do with those special appendages. Lord, to feel them dance over her flesh—

  Jack made a sound and he was looking at her strangely. Oh, bugger. The boy could definitely read thoughts from time to time.
