Naked Dragon
by Annette Blair

For centuries, in the The Witch City, human magick has thinned the veil between the planes to a permeable mist, forming a portal into Salem, allowing more and more magickal supernatural ancients—time travelers and chameleons of the universe—to enter there.

Bastian Dragonelli, once a Roman warrior turned dragon, is the first of his legion to be returned to earth, a man. There, so his brothers can also be saved and sent back, he must recover the magick of the sorceress Andra, Goddess of Hope, who gave her powers to transform him. To do so, Bastian must seek his heart mate at the sign of the crowned dragon and make her quest his own. But the dark and powerful Killian, Sorceress of Chaos, who turned his legion into dragons and skewed his transition back into a man, is lightning-hot and hailstone-swift on his heels.

McKenna Greylock, the last non-magical descendant of Ciarra McKenna, a witch who survived the hanging times, needs a jack-of-all-trades to help turn her dilapidated Victorian into a bed and breakfast in time to pay her mortgage and meet the building inspector's approval, or she will lose her home and her family's centuries-old legacy.

Enter McKenna's cousin, Vivica Quinlan—a highly evolved witch with the power of centuries behind her. Owner of the Works Like Magick Employment Agency, Vivica has a gift for matching human employers with magickal employees. Like her High-Priestess ancestors before her, Vivica knows when the magickal supernatural ancients are about to arrive, so she greets and acclimates them to life, and to making a living, in Salem.

Annette Blair's Bio

Annette Blair's paranormal romantic comedies owe their beginnings to a root canal and a reluctant trip to Salem Massachusetts. Though she had once proclaimed she'd never write a contemporary, she stumbled into the serendipitous role of 'Accidental Witch Writer' on that trip. Funny how she managed to eat her words even with an aching jaw. Magic or destiny, Annette's Bewitching Romantic Comedies became her first National Bestsellers.

SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH and GONE WITH THE WITCH, the first and second in her Triplet Witch Trilogy, became Barnes & Noble, Borders and Amazon Bestsellers, and topped the Nielsen BookScan bestseller list as well. NEVER BEEN WITCHED, third in the series will be released on February 3, 2009.

With twenty-two novels published or contracted to date, Annette's work has garnered a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Nomination, multiple HOLT Medallion nominations, Booksellers Best Awards, LORIES Awards, Laurel Wreath Awards, Blue Boa Awards of Excellence, Aspen Gold Awards, RIO Awards, Southern Magic, More than Magic, Orange Rose, Winter Rose, PRISM, and Beacon Awards of Excellence. Annette's been a Golden Leaf Award Finalist, a Preditors and Editors Best Book nominee, an Anne-Bonney Readers' Choice Award Winner, a Laurie Finalist, a Write Touch Readers' Choice Award double winner, a Colorado Award of Excellence Finalist, a Desert Rose Golden Quill Award finalist, and a National Readers' Choice Award Finalist. SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH is currently an Orange County Book Buyer's Best Award Finalist.

In 2009, watch for four new books and two new series from Annette. The first of her new Vintage Magic Mysteries entitled A VEILED DECEPTION will be released in January. Her third Triplet, NEVER BEEN WITCHED, in February. Her second mystery will be out in August, and the first in her new Supernatural Employment Agency series will be released in October.
