One botched spell rips Roxanne Cole’s life apart at the seams. The only true magic left on Earth hides in the bloodlines of the Bayshore Coven, a coven that forbids underage witches from practicing magic in the Earthly Realm. Long ago, Hecate—goddess of witchcraft—warned their Olympian-blessed ancestors to conceal their true nature at all costs. Hecate also warned the Bayshore witches never to practice magic before attending Hecate Academy. Roxy should obey the Coven’s rules, but after years of being invisible to her crush—and worse, bullied by his vicious on-again, off-again girlfriend—she can’t take it anymore. When she meets Kris, a rebellious sorcerer, in her dual-enrollment night classes at Bayshore Community College, her worldview is shattered. He challenges everything she thought she knew, raising disturbing concerns. If magic exists outside the Bayshore Coven, then the archaic rules imposed by a long-absent goddess must be wrong. Or, perhaps, their rules are tools being used to manipulate young witches into blind compliance. Willing to take her chances, Roxy performs a spell to make Ray Hammond notice her, but it goes horribly wrong and she is unprepared for the consequences of unleashing the vast power coursing through her veins.

A broken witch. A missing sister. A grisly murder. Once touched by darkness, always tainted. Roxanne Cole swore off magic for a reason. But now her little sister Kathryn has gone missing, and the only person willing to help is her pretty-boy nemesis, Ray Hammond. Roxy’s not sure she can trust him, but with nowhere else to turn, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance. When the coven's high priestess also goes missing, it seems her sister’s disappearance is just a small piece of a much bigger puzzle. And the more she works with Ray, the more she realizes he’s just another temptation that could add to the ever-increasing magical missing persons count. As bodies start dropping and the death toll rises, it becomes clear someone is declaring war on the Bayshore Witches. Now, if Roxy wants her little sister back, she’ll have to decide what, and who, she's willing to sacrifice. If you liked Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman or Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series, you'll love C. J. Beaumont's up-and-coming supernatural thriller, the Bayshore Witch Legacy series. Pre-order today to join Roxy in her chilling quest to save the only family she has left. Note: This is book one of a slow burn paranormal romance series that must be read in order to make sense.

A crumbling partnership. A false confession. A vicious killer. With one witch already dead and her sister missing, Roxy Cole is hellbent on finding the killer stalking the Bayshore coven. But keeping the coven safe and finding the twisted killer is proving more than dangerous, especially when Roxy’s tentative alliance with Ray Hammond is crumbling fast. Worse than that, Roxy can't seem to escape her grandmother's looming prophecy that six more witches are going to die if Roxy keeps searching for Kat. She can't just let her baby sister go, and is desperate to find a way to beat the odds and see her sister home safe without losing more witches in the process. She knows only one thing can save them all: her magic. But she turned her back on that path a long time ago, and now—when she needs it most—her magic is playing hard to get. She'll have to find a way to tap into it, even if it means strengthening the darkness that was born when she made the biggest mistake of her life. If she fails to fully embrace her gifts, she will lose her sister and the other witches to a gruesome death, and she will never be able to live with herself. Fans of L. J. Smith and Patricia Briggs will devour the second spellbinding, suspenseful installment of the Bayshore Witch Legacy series by USA Today Bestselling Author C. J. Beaumont.
