Hexual Healing

My name is Rhee Hess and I come from a long line of witches. Reunions aren't a Hess strong suit, so I don't really know family members all that well. But when my cousin requests my help, it coincides with my need to drop off the grid, and I agree to house-sit for her in Bitter Creek Holler.

I'm a city girl and consider visiting in the back of rural beyond, a sacrifice. However, I'll be earning a paycheck. Call it fate, karma, or justice…I've been hired to tinker with the mind of the miserable jerk who recently fired me--billionaire, Shep Buchanan.

Hi. I'm Buchanan. Nice to meet you. After listening to that tirade, I promise to be rational. It's true that I'm tough, terse, and have the temperament of a grizzly--because I am one. But I'm usually also steady and calm. Things have been strange since someone tried to kill me with a death hex spell.

I didn't accommodate the assassin by dying. My bear took over and remains in charge of my human form while I offer suggestions from inside. This is not a good situation. It gets worse. The woman sent to help unscramble my brain, is a witch. Not just any witch either. She's a conniving, brain-stalking, Hess Witch...and she smells divine.
