Romance Anthology | Paranormal

This is a collection of novellas previously published in earlier anthologies. Berkley has decided to reissue them in this exclusive volume for those who missed them before. All three are trademark Maggie Shayne paranormal romances, so you can expect a fun reading experience.

Everything She Does is Magick (from BEWITCHED, 10/97, Jove) involves a trio of matchmaking witches who decide on the perfect mate for their niece when both are tiny babies. The only hitch to this is that the young male they've chosen must remain a virgin. So, they cast a spell that causes some very interesting circumstances for him as he grows into a man. It doesn't help matters that he and their niece don't seem to even like each other. What to do now?

Musketeer by Moonlight (from MOONGLOW, 10/98, Berkley) tells the fun adventure of a desperate female P.I. who invokes a spell of protection to keep her safe from dangerous gangster. What she ends up with a handsome, honorable musketeer who travels through time to protect this damsel in distress. But this woman is like none he's ever known before -- she can hold her own when it comes to fighting the bad guys. These two make quite a couple!

In The Con & the Crusader (from VEILS OF TIME, 7/99, Berkley), we have a man jumping into a well into the past, where he's mistaken for a criminal. Only a marriage proposal from a desperate widow grants him his freedom. But with freedom comes a lot of hard work on her farm. And the affection that grows between them has him wondering whether he really wants to leave her.

SUMMARY

For the first time in one volume, the New York Times bestselling author presents three tales of paranormal romance. In "Everything She Does is Magick," a trio of matchmaking witches chooses unsuspecting little Nathan McBride as the perfect mate for their baby niece. The future looks rosy indeed, except for one little catch: they must keep him a virgin!...A lady private eye on the run from some dangerous gangsters invokes a spell of protection in a fit of desperation--and conjures up a dashing musketeer looking for his damsel in distress in "Musketeer By Moonlight."...And in "The Con and the Crusader," Jack McCain jumps into a well-and into the past. Mistaken for a criminal, he's headed for prison, until he's freed-with a wedding proposal!
