Ghosts, werewolves, and intrepid heroines roam the moonlit pages of this magical collection of short novellas that arrives just in time to add its own passionate and supernatural touch to the October romance lineup. Diverse in both setting and style, these stories range from the fast-paced and humorous to the steamily erotic and include "Musketeer by Moonlight," Maggie Shayne's modern, upbeat story of a tough private investigator and her protective musketeer; Lindsay Longford's sexy, hypnotic, and occasionally eerie "Midnight Lover"; "Shades of Moonlight," Angie Ray's ghostly Regency mystery with an unexpected twist; and Katherine Sutcliffe's dark, somewhat intense "The Wolf Keeper." This eclectic collection features veteran best-selling or Rita-winning authors, and while the quality definitely varies, most paranormal fans will find several that appeal.

For a supernatural tingle in your romance reading this Halloween, pick up this collection of stories by best-selling, award-winning authors. In "The Wolf Keeper," Sutcliffe sends an innocent novice into the clutches of the wolfish earl of Lycaon to tutor his son. Maggie Shayne's "Musketeer by Moonlight" is enough to make a tough female PI swoon over the results of a spell gone awry. Angie Ray's romp, "Shades of Moonlight," follows a recently departed rake in his quest to run the decidedly feminine new owner out of his house. And Lindsay Longford offers the "Midnight Lover" of a young widow's dreams. These stories run the gamut from comedic to sinister, contemporary to historical. Fans of Shayne may be disappointed by the carefree touch she uses here after the impact of her deeply emotional, supernatural Annie's Hero (1997) and her Wings of the Night series for Silhouette, but the discovery of Ray's and Longford's solid stories more than make up for it.
