Charmed (Portals of Destiny Book 4)

A portal, a witch, and a bounty hunter. What can possibly go wrong?

The Witch: When Persimmon Burroughs seeks out her father after her mother’s death, her life is turned upside down. She is the daughter of a sorceress but has been raised in seclusion and is just starting to activate her powers. There is an emptiness within her, and she longs to fill that void, never having known love, not even from her parents. Shortly after arriving in Mura, the sky opens up and a man falls out, knocking her to the ground. He is a bounty hunter from somewhere called Taelgonoth. Another surprise is that he tells her he got there by stepping through a portal.

The Bounty Hunter: When Stone Nightstalker steps through a portal on a mission to catch a thief he never expects to end up in a land called Mura. This land is not like his or any other. Mura has magical beings like fae, elves, and his personal favorite, a witch named Persimmon. She carries around a gazing orb with her and can supposedly scry, seeing things that others cannot. What better way to find his thief and the stolen gemstones? He’ll just get the witch to look into her gazing ball for him.

But life isn’t always as it seems, and things change in the blink of an eye. Not to mention, portals are highly unpredictable. No one can know when they will open or even where they will show up at all. If Stone can’t get back through the portal, he might be stuck in Mura forever. His mission is crucial, but his focus quickly changes to the girl, and that only puts them both in danger.

War, greed, deceit, magic, and a lot of surprises are in store for Stone and Persimmon as their attraction for each other grows stronger each day. She is magical but he is not. They couldn’t be more different. Once certain steps are taken, there is no going back. Now, the real question is, will either of them really want to?
