A High Priestess of Wicca and a third-degree Wiccan devote this custom-filled book to Brigid's Festival of Returning Light, an ancient holiday filled with hope.
Simon Proctor isn't sure what the future will be, but it doesn't look good. His once soaring career as a musician and performer has plunged to rock bottom. He's running out of money, ideas, and hope...until two stunning women enter his life -- mysterious Gwendolyn and her bewitching friend, Adrienne. With their unique help, his career skyrockets. Now, the future couldn't look brighter...until Simon discovers who these enticing women really are. Now he isn't concerned with the future -- he's terrified of the dark and distant past...a past that has suddenly reached across four generations of lust and betrayal to clutch Simon Proctor by the soul and wrench from him a terrifying price.
