[attachment=49]

This anthology contains the previously published novellas:

MOONSWEPT: Almost everyone remembers their first love. And so, we take a peek back at the D'Artigo sisters' first loves in three short stories. Because long before Smoky, Morio, and Trillian came into her life, Camille's heart belonged to her cousin Shamas. And before Shade, Delilah was learning what love meant from her all-too human detective. And Menolly wasn't always a vampire...at one time, she had dreams of creating a family with a man who taught her to respect herself and never settle for anyone who tore her down.

Forbidden Love: Camille and Shamas secretly plan their future together, until his envy over her connection to the Moon Mother, and an attempt at an arranged marriage get in the way.

Im-Purrfect Match: Delilah never expected to fall for Chase Johnson. But one night, while searching for information on a man named Tom Lane, the werecat and the detective discover an unexpected attraction.
Shadows of Love: Menolly wasn't always a vampire. And once, long ago in Otherworld, a gentleman farmer taught her that she should never settle in matters of the heart.

EARTHBOUND: When Camille, Menolly, and Delilah D'Artigo are reassigned Earthside, they have no clue of what to expect. Getting situated in a new world, figuring out where they're going to live, what they're going to do, is an adventure in itself. Return the beginning, as the D'Artigo Sisters walk through the portals to their new home for the very first time.

KNIGHT MAGIC: Camille journeys to Otherworld on a quest to find the last member of the Keraastar Knights. There, she must face one of the ancient Fae Lords who stands between her and the key to fulfilling her destiny. And there, she also discovers that her past has come full circle to meet her future. This novelette takes place between Moon Shimmers, book 19 of the Otherworld Series, and the upcoming Harvest Song, book 20.

Camille D'Artigo, an agent for the Y'Elestrial Intelligence Agency, is on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer.  Trouble is: her boss is betting on her failure.  She must find the killer by the deadline, or her only choices will be to either resign from her job or succumb to her boss's lecherous intentions.  But she didn't count on help from an unexpected source.  Trillian, a Svartan--one of the dark, Charming Fae, comes into her life.  Everyone warns her against him but as her search for the killer intensifies, Trillian becomes her only ally--and potentially, a man who could break her heart as a magnetic, passionate force draws them together.

Where It Began: An Otherworld Novella

[attachment=53]

We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times.  My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed.  Menolly's a vampire who's still trying to get the hang of being undead.  And me?  I'm Camille--a wicked-good witch.  Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather. And we're about to discover what life in our mother's home world is like...
 
We're just in from Otherworld, moving to our mother's homeland, and nothing will ever be the same. As we settle into the lovely old house we discovered, house sprite Iris joins us to help out. And we meet Chase, who's our official contact--at least for now--with the OIA--the Otherworld Intelligence Agency.
 
But the swarthy, all-too eager detective is in trouble. He's stumbled onto a secret grove and triggered a curse. Now it's up to us to help our new friend, and to learn how to adapt in a world that feels both familiar and alien.

We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times.  My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. 
 
My sister Menolly is a vampire trying to get the hang of being undead.  And me?  I'm Delilah.  When I'm under stress, I transform into a tabby cat--and a chance meeting with a stray cat leads to a mysterious discovery on our land, one that makes us realize that a looming shadow seems to be forming in our future...
 
There's a grumpy old gray tabby living on our property we name Cromwell. After some hissing, he and I become friends. I care about him and start feeding him, and one night we head out for a mouse hunt...but as we run through the woods, something catches my eye.
 
It's a mysterious stone, and I sense a dark magic coming from it--a dark magic that has coyote shifter written all over it. But when we find out who left it in our woods, we realize that our lives are never going to be the same.

[attachment=55]

We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times.
 
My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat when she's under stress. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire. But now, I have to learn how to interact with Seattle's undead set--and how to live with myself...
 
I've got a new job--I'm a bartender at the Wayfarer with Jocko, a giant who was vertically challenged. I'm learning how to come out of my shell again, as hard as it is. My father disowned me, my sisters do their best but I know they're not sure how to act around me--even though I've been a vamp for awhile now.
 
But when a regular customer comes in, terrified, because he's been turned and he has no idea how to handle his new state, I see red. It's hard enough dealing with my own transition, but when a friend gets turned--that's just too much. So I go on the hunt for the rogue vamp, vowing he'll never steal another person's life, even if I have to die--again--to prevent it.
