Twice A Princess
Dearest Godmother, I only have one more match to make to break this curse . . . if only I wasn't distracted by my handsome boss. I know I should stay away from him - I am betrothed to a prince in my country, after all - but Alexander's kindness, his humor and his sexy kisses are keeping me up at night in spite of my better judgment. Your lovelorn goddaughter, Princess Meredith.
Princess Contessa's dreams of living happily ever after marrying a prince are shattered when her "parents" reveal that she's actually a street urchin they raised as their daughter to thwart assassins from their real target.
The story is basically three short stories set in the Mississippi, New Orleans (pre-Katrina) area. The stories are chronologically laid out. They follow the adventures of Barbera (call me Barb) as she is recruited into a secret organization (ala X-Files) that fights demons, vampires, werewolves as well as other lesser known manifestations of the Supernatural.
Уходя от погони индейцев, капитан Джон Картер из Вирджинии попал в странную пещеру, где потерял сознание. Очнулся он в странном месте, как выяснилось позже — на Марсе, где и был пленён племенем зелёных шестируких марсиан...
Forty-three million miles from the earth--a succession of the weirdest and most astounding adventures in fiction.
