*** The Wattpad #1 and a Most Read Award Winner *** Hubble, bubble, the witch is in trouble, the ballerina's broken and the vet's in disgrace. Living in the Lakes is going to be murder. When Patrick's photographed in flagrante with a local beauty queen, his father delivers an ultimatum: one more newspaper scandal and Patrick will be disowned - no house and no job at the family veterinary practice. Desperate not to lose his easy life in the country, Patrick needs to avoid trouble - and girls like Libby. Until she moved to the Lakes, Libby hadn't had sex on a first date, let alone indulged in a one-night-stand. But after flings with the local policeman and a married man, her morals unravel causing the local rag to dub her 'The Libertine'. Infamous and still mourning her previous career as a ballerina, Libby casts a Wicca spell to summon a new love. Good-looking, honest, non-brown eyes, English, likes animals... in a nutshell: Patrick, a man she's never met. But fighting Libby's love spell will be the least of Patrick's problems when an old lady dies from a ketamine overdose. The drug was stolen from his surgery and she's the third pensioner to die in as many months. Tongues will wag. ***** Caution ***** While Distraction is rated PG13, it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Please don't read it if these things offend you. Cx
