    About this ebook

    Three previously published novellas star in this collection.

    LOVE'S SPELL
    Ava Van Dorn doesn’t believe in magic, but she believes in possibilities. So, she figures trying a love spell her grandmother left her won’t hurt. Worst case: Her life will stay the same. Best case: Her fellow second-grade teacher James Friedlander will fall in love with her, and they’ll live happily ever after.

    Except...oops!

    Ava accidentally places the spell on her principal, Libby Lubbock. Libby is wrestling with her own issues in the love department, namely the fact that she’s deciding whether to give her ex a second chance after the ex cheated. Libby is beginning to think she’s the type who is better off single.

    The spell can be undone, but it requires Ava and Libby getting to know each other better. Lots better. Can Libby and Ava cast a love spell that has nothing to do with abracadabra magic and everything to do with the magic of true love?

    THE YOUNG AND THE LESBIAN
    Dash Bannon, a forty-seven-year-old soap actress with high aspirations, has been relegated to “dried-up relative in the corner” status. A career shakeup is in order, and Dash decides to hop onto the train of celebrities coming out as gay. One teeny problem—she isn’t really gay.

    One of Dash’s co-stars, reigning soap queen Jane Knight, is in similar straits, although few people realize the new lows Jane’s career has sunk to. Jane sees through Dash’s ploy, but she has an idea that could jump start both of their careers. It means they'll have to get closer to each other. Much closer. This story chronicles the women’s roller-coaster ride during the week that Dash comes out.

    WOMAN BEHIND THE MASK
    For Annie Hardesty, Zorro is a figure shrouded in the mists of her fantasies, whether they include getting kidnapped on a cruise or adventuring in search of the Holy Grail. However, when Annie sees Zorro in the flesh at a Halloween party, she decides to make fantasy become reality.

    Except Zorro turns out to be a woman.

    Surprise doesn’t stop Annie for long, and she sets up a sexual liaison at a cemetery. While Zorro, a.k.a. a lesbian named Hayden, is nervous as hell, she’s game. The night doesn’t go exactly as planned, but it’s enough for Annie and Hayden to realize they have a genuine connection. Can they overcome obstacles such as Annie’s boyfriend and Hayden’s ex-girlfriend to discover who they can be together?
