Masquerade Anthology

Seven pieces of Carnival magic, from seven of our favorite Changelings. N'Wahlns Cravings by Camille Anthony The decadent smell of chocolate oozed out the door? only a woman would name her shoppe Cravings. Whimsical. Sexy. What the sync? I never think like that. Certainly, never in conjuncture with Humans. But New Orleans has a long history of dealing with the unusual. Midnight at Montgomery's by Ann Vremont The final night of Carnival in Mobile. Power building, like a bad storm coming up off the Gulf. Something's on the other side of the door. What's it to be this time--silver bullets? crucifix? or sex? Cajun Heat by Anne Kane Shaken by her boyfriend's betrayal, Stacey dons a mask and goes to Mardi Gras party, determined to seduce a gorgeous hunk and prove to herself that she's just as desirable as she's always been. A night of fantastic sex with a masked stranger should do the trick? Candle Magick by Leila Brown Selene Houston is a woman on a mission. It's the middle of Madri Gras and she's finally figured out that her ex-lover Gabriel was the one who stole her personal voodoo doll. A doll made by her grandma and a true object of power, she'll do almost anything to get it back. Gabriel wants his ex back. She's a voodoo priestess with more power than he can ever hope to obtain, but he'll do whatever it takes to show her they belong together. Jimmy the Dog by Belinda McBride On Mardi Gras night, Erin goes looking for her philandering boyfriend. Instead she finds something rare and precious, something she lost long ago: Jonelle. Voudou Queen by Alecia Monaco Purple, green, and gold--the colors of Mardi Gras, the colors of Magic. Offerings left by those who seek the spirit of along dead priestess--Voudou's most infamous queen--for help with an impossible wish. Hot Vixen by Dawn Montgomery Gracie's in heat. A night on the town in celebration of Mardi Gras has brought out the Reynards, Josh and Steven, two wicked foxes determined to seduce the vixen. If she has her way, they'll be eating out of her hand in no time. Little does she know they intend to be doing far more than that...
