Dee, Lizzie and Mare Fortune have been hiding out ever
since their parents were murdered 13 years earlier. Now
living in Salem's Fork, they've managed a fairly quiet
existence without calling attention to their rather unique
abilities. All that changes when the men of their dreams
show up on their doorstep, more or less, sweeping them off
their feet and distracting them with hot, sexy fantasies
and promises of dreams come true. It isn't until it's
almost too late that the three realize their good fortune
might instead be bad karma.
For Dee, the eldest Fortune, the arrival of Danny James is
bad news. The gorgeous hunk of a man is in town researching
the lives of the Little Miss Fortunes and their psychic
parents. The threat of an exposé sends Dee flying,
literally, to derail Danny's plans.
Middle Fortune Lizzie has been upsetting the balance of the
universe in her attempts to turn straw into gold. Despite
her many attempts, all she ends up with is an amazing
collection of shoes and a variety of bunny rabbits. Elric
appears in her life, determined to put an end to her
haphazard spell casting, and instead decides to help her
realize her full potential.
Mare, the youngest Fortune, plans to be Queen of the
Universe (or Value Video), and when she goes to work at
Value Video, there is the man to make it happen. Jude Green
is a dead ringer for Jude Law, and he offers Mare the
chance of a lifetime. All she has to do is move to New
York. Then a blast from her past rides into town. Crash
Duncan walked out of her life years ago, but now he's back,
and he wants Mare to return to Italy with him.
Comparing notes, the sisters realize there can be only one
reason for their romantic good fortune. Their Aunt
Xantippe, the woman they've been hiding from for the past
13 years, the woman responsible for their parents' deaths,
has found them. And what she wants could be the death of
them. It's only by joining together and embracing their
powers that the sisters can hope to save themselves and the
men they love.
THE UNFORTUNATE MISS FORTUNES by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen
Dreyer and Anne Stuart is a laugh-out-loud,
super-sexy paranormal romance. Dee, Lizzie and Mare are
fabulous characters, wonderfully amusing and emotionally
vulnerable, with a thread of steel running through them,
holding them together for a common cause. The men in their
lives are fascinating, mysteriously intriguing and sexy!
Xantippe is deliciously evil and occasionally sympathetic,
and her cohorts are the perfect foils for her wickedness.
This is not an anthology, but a single story written by
three very talented authors. The individual style of each
author shines through in the story, and you'll have fun
trying to figure out which author wrote which character.
Fans of Crusie, Dreyer and Stuart are in for a unique
treat!
