Step into a world of magic and passions....

Take a dash of spice, heat it.

Add a flash of magic and watch the sparks fly.

Toss in a killer that's targeting women.

Add a handful of witches from all paths to stir it all together...

The Solstice Heat





Kasey is a woman that exudes energy and brightness; she is as equally passionate when angry as she is when she’s happy. The energy she carries from life comes through in all her magical workings with spells and stones, giving them great magical strength. She is a dreamer and often wishes she could re-write her own story so that she was charming and sophisticated enough to be with a certain wealthy male lawyer she wants more than anything else.

Chris is a force of strength and experience that is carefully hidden behind the easy mannerism he has adapted so carefully.  There is nothing he cannot do where magic is concerned and he has tried all manner of things, whether right or wrong.  His fortune has left him wanting for nothing else in life, except the one thing money can’t buy him, the woman he feels too unclean to approach.

Separated by two different life styles yet their passion and magic ignite sparks hotter than the Solstice heat.
Can they work out a way to be together as they try to stop a killer from striking again?


Author's favorite excerpt:



           Chris came out of his library to see the three men sitting in his living room.  He paused and looked around.  “Did I forget about a meeting?”  Where were the women?  “Where is everyone else?” 
            Dade leaned forward and rested his elbows on his legs.  “We were instructed they were coming here after work and they have been locked in your little magic broom closet for the last hour.”
            Chris raised his eyebrows.  “Doing?”
            Owen lifted his hands.  “Won’t say.”
            Steven slumped down, wishing for a nap.  “They’re not too pleased being driven to and from work.”
            “I see.”  Chris turned and started down the hall.  “Let’s see what they’re up to.”
The men got up and followed him. 
He tried the doorknob to find it locked.  “Kase, unlock the door.”
            “Soon.” She called to him through the door.
            He stood there glaring at the door.  They’d locked him out of his own room in his own home!  We’ll see about this.  He stepped back and slapped and invisible command at the door. 
Sparks flew off it and the door remained closed.  “What the…”
            Dade grinned.  “Quite the little witch you have there Larkin.” 
            Steven whistled out a breath.  “Just how much trouble can they get into with all your stuff in there?”
            Chris still scowled at the door while he answered.  “A lot!”  He tapped the door with his hand.  “Kassandra unlock the door.” 
A gentle breeze blew over all four of them.
            “That would be a polite no.”  Dade said quietly.
            “Like hell, I’ll be locked out of my own temple room.” Chris hissed.  Stepping back he stared at the door, the handle shook.  When he thought it was going to open it started to pour rain on the four of them.  He waved a hand to stop it and looked at the men beside him.  Dade’s long hair was soaked and the expression on his face was similar to how he himself was feeling about the whole thing.
            “And that would be a mind your own business.” Owen said sticking his hands in his pockets.
            Chris looked at Steven.  “You have any ideas?”
            Steven shook his head trying to get the water to stop dripping in his face then took a step away from the door.  “Oh no. I’m plenty happy enough to wait until it opens on it’s own.  You might like lighting striking you but I’m not too open to trying that.”
            Chris shook his head.  “Are you all afraid of them?”
            Dade nodded.  “I’ve seen what each one can do alone – especially your little innocent there my friend; the four of them together scare the hell out of me.”
            Chris sighed and looked back at the door.  “Kasey?”
            “Yes Christopher?”  Her voice came through the door again.
            “You’re making me angry and I don’t want to do something I’ve promised you I wouldn’t.” 
A wind breeze ruffled his hair.  “I know you won’t Chris.  Now go away I’m trying to concentrate here.”
His jaw dropped.  Sighing he looked at the others. “Beer?”  They nodded and followed him down the hallway.
“Seems you’re a bit afraid of their wrath too councilor.” Dade mumbled behind him.
“Shut up.”  Chris growled and walked into the kitchen.

What they're saying about the book:


I have come to love all books by Jacqueline Paige. She is definitely a new favorite author. Her books are charming, intriguing, spicy (in all the right ways), and good reads. 


~Books, Books and More Books~ 

Solstice Heat is a thrilling ride of intrigue, love and magic. The descriptions made me feel as if I were sitting right there in the story with the characters, and the unsolved mystery of murder left me chomping at the bit for the next book in the series. Solstice Heat is an exciting story of love with just the right amount of sex and witchcraft to capture your interest until the very last page --
