About this ebook

Dive into this FREE series starter for the TechWitch series, an exciting dark and sexy futuristic urban fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott.

My mother was a wicked witch. Her spells brought nothing but trouble. Since her death, with no power of my own, I’ve stayed far away from magic . . .

In a San Francisco struggling with earthquakes and rising seas, where technology can do things that are close enough to magic, Maggie Lachlan is a computer whisperer. The one they call when no one else can find the elusive bug bringing a complex system to its knees. They call her the TechWitch. But she knows there’s nothing magical about what she does. It’s just hard-earned skill.

So, when billionaire Damon Riley, owner of the world’s biggest virtual reality gaming company, comes calling with a problem that his entire empire of geeks can’t fix, Maggie leaps at the job. Riley Arts is the kind of place she feels at home. All tech. No magic. Except, perhaps, for the undeniable chemistry she has with the man in charge.

 But she never imagined stepping into one of Damon’s games would break a spell she didn't know she was under and free the magic her mother said she didn't possess.

Now she has a demon hunting her and the magical world she knows nothing about to navigate. To save herself—and the world—she needs to learn fast.

Because, when it comes to magic, the games are wicked. And losing can be deadly…

Wicked Games is the first book in the TechWitch series, an ongoing steamy urban fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott set in a not-too far-future where tech and magic don’t always get along. This series has witches, demons, an ongoing relationship that will have an HEA, sexy times, and a lot of computer geeks. Perfect if you like the idea of a strong heroine, a hot protective billionaire and magic and technology colliding. Enjoy!

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It really was a job to stop reading it when it was getting late. I was thinking just one more chapter, then, oh maybe one more chapter wouldn't hurt. I had a few late nights, but it was worth it. It's worth at least 5 stars. *****

Not normally a fan of "witches" books, but this one I liked! the ending is not a hea, as the story continues but it is not some cliffhanger either, it could be read as a stand alone.

It had a fast pace and was easy to read. I would consider reading more of the author.
