Courting The Witch

Enjoy this steamy romantasy novella from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott.

Desire or duty...which will woo a witch?

Imogene Carvelle has always dreamed of a glittering career as an Imperial Mage. She wants to travel the empire and do some good. Marriage can wait. When she returns home from a long mission away, she has nothing more on her mind than having a little fun. But when Imogene meets a huge and handsome heir to a duq at a ball, her plans for just one night get complicated. Because the oh-so-delicious but oh-so-wrong Jean-Paul du Laq doesn't want to let her go...

Jean-Paul du Laq knows he has to marry. As the heir to a duq, he has to carry on the family line with the right kind of wife. A career minded commoner like Imogene is absolutely not the woman he should be considering for anything more than a dalliance. But to him, Imogene shines brighter than the sun and he's determined to win her heart...
