Summary: A supernatural attack leaves Raven, a male witch, unconscious and clinging to life. While his fiancée and children wait for news, an enemy is discovered: one as dangerous as they are ruthless, and they’re hunting members of his coven. Rose, a succubus and fledgling private detective, has strong personal ties to that coven. Her girlfriend Lisa is a member, as are Lisa’s close friends. Knowing her girlfriend is in danger, and of Lisa’s need to protect and help the other members, Rose will do all she can to identify their enemy and help the Circle of Harmony coven survive. It’s more than a job – for one pink-haired succubus, it’s personal. Their enemy doesn’t seem to care what harm they cause, what laws they break or who gets caught in the occult crossfire. With the Enforcers one step behind, Rose and the coven must band together and stand strong when things get ugly. Seeking Witches is a F/F romantic urban fantasy novella of around 21,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.
