In The Heart's Initiation, my main character and romantic heroine is Juniper Blake, the daughter of a well-to-do workaholic accountant and a flaky celebrity yoga instructor, must return to her home town after hearing news of her great-aunt's death. Aunt Hellene, an original hippie and free-spirit, was the High Priestess of a Wiccan coven in a small, New England town called Scarborough.
Juniper dreads returning to Scarborough because it is the home of her ex-lover, Rune Forrester, son of the new High Priestess, and her half-brother who is the embodiment of immaturity and bad decisions. However, she quickly learns that these two men are the least of her problems as she is drawn into a Witch War between covens complete with three-fold curses, hoodoo hexes, and karmic results.
Juniper must decide whether or not she is willing to heal in order to accept a home and a love that she has always dreamed of or if she will allow the drama and ill-will of others to drive home her insecurities and cause her to continue her lonely gypsy life.
