Betraying Season

Penelope Leland has come to Ireland to study magic and prove to herself that she is as good a witch as her twin sister, Persy. But when the dashing Niall Keating begins to court her, Pen can't help being distracted from her studies. Little does Pen know, Niall is acting upon orders from his sorceress mother. And although it starts as a sham, Niall actually falls deeply in love with Pen, and she with him. Even if he halts his mother's evil plan, will Pen be able to forgive him for trying to seduce her into a plot?

MARISSA DOYLE is fascinated by the past and lives in Massachusetts, where she is surrounded by history. Betraying Season is the follow up to her first novel, Bewitching Season. Visit her on the web at www.marissadoyle.com.

“As in the previous book, this is a full-bodied story that wonderfully combines elements of romance, fantasy, and history. . . . Whether Doyle is describing the Irish countryside, a magical incantation, or a lover’s kiss, her writing is compelling, and it will be hard for readers not to be swept away by this invigorating story.”—Booklist “The mixture of historical detail and magic makes this bodice-ripper another page-turner.”—Kirkus Reviews
