A secret spell that could unlock unlimited magic. An impossible choice between love and power.

When the young witch, Josie, is sent to retrieve a vial of fae blood for her father's spell, she's attacked by a rogue vampire. But before he can finish the job, she's saved by another creature. 

One she loves.

Her father would kill her if he found out about James, the half-angel she'd do anything for. But things start to crumble when her father turns on her. 

With the help of his dark magic, he does the unthinkable and attacks. As he peers deep into her mind, seeking her mysteries, Josie learns a carefully concealed secret that was never meant to be shared.

A hidden truth that changes everything and awakens something dark within her. Something so evil she's willing to do the unthinkable.

Rise of the Dark Witch is a novella (22,000 words). It's the prequal to the House of Frost dark paranormal romance series. If you like tough heroines and anti-heroes, steamy action, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, then you'll love M.J. Mercer's sexy tale.
