Moon Swept

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.
"The moon rolled high into the night sky, blotting out the nearby stars.
She was wild, this moon, full and golden as harvest wheat, and she shimmered over the surface of Lake Y’Leveshan, her light glinting like a thousand diamonds frothing on the water’s surface. Erulizi Falls thundered nearby, churning deep into the lake as the white water fell long and hard down the rock face. I let out a long breath as I leaned back on my hands, resting on the blanket. Getting away from home for a few days had been difficult, given my father’s current mood, but with Menolly’s help, I had managed. She had faked the message from Lady Jayna, asking me to come visit for a few days and I owed her one. Big-time."
