Rivers Sisters Series

 Brief overview of the five-book series:

Colleen, Heather, Megan, and Paisley are raised by their mother, Grace Rivers. They are witches unknown to all magical historians. Their father, Herman, sacrificed himself for their mother, and their family is cursed to never reunite. But there is a slim chance. For each daughter must find a mate worthy to make the dangerous trek to rescue Herman. None realize this, but the powers that imprisoned him know. The dark ones throw everything they can at this family to prevent that rescue from ever happening.

But these witches are strong and will not back down from any challenge. The stakes are raised in each book, higher and higher, with evil finding new ways to hurt and try to stop the fractured family.

Most rivers run.

But these Rivers fight.

Colleen Rivers

Colleen is elegant without trying.  She's slight and calm.  Self-assured.  Ebony hair with those Rivers' green eyes.  She models as it suits her.  

It's not easy being the oldest sister of four.  She's had to look out for her siblings since her father disappeared decades ago when Paisley was only a toddler.  Her mother, Grace, has raised the girls with all the love she could possibly give.

But there has always been something missing.

Herman Rivers.

One day he was with his family, and the next he was gone.  Grace refuses to talk about it.  But his absence casts a shadow on even the best moments within the family.

Colleen decides to take one last modeling job and then treat herself to a vacation away from the crowds.  But this job isn't like any other.  Forces are at work which will take her free will and bend it to another.  And there are those that would have her family hunted and killed for being who they are.  

Her path leads her somewhere not even her heart can refuse as her family finally finds out what has happened to their dear patriarch so many years ago, and Colleen finds out exactly how much love her heart can hold.

Captivation giveaway

I love books.  They are some of the purest magic.
I read everything I could get my hands on growing up.  And, even now, they are my favorite form of escapism, either reading or writing.

Here's my question:

Name one or two of your favorite books as a child.

The prize will be an autographed paperback of Captivation, the first book in the Rivers Sisters series.
A little bit about the book:

Spencer Drake needs a model, and Colleen Rivers applies for the job. She’s near the end of her career, but this campaign, for Captivation perfume, calls to her. 
Except Spencer is no ordinary man. And Colleen is no ordinary woman.
They’re both hiding who they are, but Colleen stands to lose more than a job if the truth spills out. Colleen is part of a family of witches that has been hidden from the world for centuries. Spencer’s family tracks and records magic. The consequences are severe for unregistered beings.
Her family’s biggest secret becomes his only mission. 
A man used to getting what he wants rarely fights fair. But a woman with her world on the line never will.
****
The contest will end at midnight, Friday, July 7, 2017.  I will announce the winner Saturday, July 8, 2017 both on Facebook and this blog.  One entry per person.  

I've always been partial to fantasy and adventure.  I loved A Wrinkle in Time.  Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series.  The entire Oz series.  Pippi Longstocking.

Good luck!
