Teegan Jacobs works extremely hard at a job that she loves, at a successful publishing company. Her close friends, Ann and Kaylee, work alongside her, and she even gets along with her boss, Wes. But something is not right with her world, as every night she keeps having extremely vivid dreams, and strange occurrences have started happening around her. Worried that she is losing it, she tries to push it all to the back of her mind, and focus on her job.

When Leland McKay, a board member, offers Teegan an opportunity to work on a new publication, Teegan has a lot more than working with him on her mind. Inexplicably drawn to him, she has never before been this attracted to someone. And the feeling is definitely mutual.

What Teegan does not realise is, that Leyland is much more than he seems. He has been sent to unlock Teegan's past. For Teegan is descended from a powerful witch, one of six, and contains an overwhelming magic inside of her, and the time is drawing near when good must stand up against evil, as it did all those centuries ago. When love and magic mix, will Teegan be ready for what lies ahead? Or will her very essence destroy her and those she loves?

THE WITCH WITHIN by Jacqueline Paige is a short tale and the first in this new series. I connected with the characters easily, and I absolutely love the relationship between Teegan and Leyland - not only the discovery of their passion, but the deeper connection that exists between them. With humour, friendship, witchcraft and some serious attraction, what's not to love?! and I highly recommend THE WITCH WITHIN by Jacqueline Paige for all romance fans. I look forward to the next instalment.
