My name is Rhee Hess and I come from a long line of witches. Reunions aren't a Hess strong suit, so I don't really know family members all that well. But when my cousin requests my help, it coincides with my need to drop off the grid, and I agree to house-sit for her in Bitter Creek Holler. I'm a city girl and consider visiting in the back of rural beyond, a sacrifice. However, I'll be earning a paycheck. Call it fate, karma, or justice…I've been hired to tinker with the mind of the miserable jerk who recently fired me—billionaire, Shep Buchanan. Hi. I'm Buchanan. Nice to meet you. After listening to that tirade, I promise to be rational. It's true that I'm tough, terse, and have the temperament of a grizzly—because I am one. But I'm usually also steady and calm. Things have been strange since someone tried to kill me with a death hex spell. I didn't accommodate the assassin by dying. My bear took over and remains in charge of my human form while I offer suggestions from inside. This is not a good situation. It gets worse. The woman sent to help unscramble my brain, is a witch. Not just any witch either. She's a conniving, brain-stalking, Hess Witch...and she smells divine.
