Deception is a dangerous path…

New York City, August, 1891 – Orphaned after the death of her father, Chloe Waverly stows away on La Voyageur to escape the clutches of her cruel fiancé, Lamonte Beckett. Gabriel Hill, a strange and compelling gentleman, comes upon Chloe and promises to protect her without knowing the true circumstances of why she is running away. During their journey, Gabriel doesn’t bargain on being distracted by her fair beauty or succumbing to her many charms. As their attraction to each other grows, so does the danger and Gabriel suspects things are not as they should be.

Both are determined to get to New Orleans, where she can start a new life. But, once they reach their destination, events spin out of their control and Chloe is captured by the fiancé she escaped. Gabriel is left wondering if he can overlook her betrayal. Soon he finds himself in a race against time, to reach her before Beckett can exact revenge.

Messing with free will is always a bad idea…

Ethan Hamilton moves to a lazy little town in Oregon, hoping to escape his demons. But, instead he discovers a woman dancing nude in the moonlight. This woman who claims she is a witch dazzles him with her sensual presence. He thinks she’s crazy, but what if she’s not?

Jessie Anderson has been taught that her kind hides who they really are. And she has a problem on her hands. Someone knows her secret and she has to do all she can to protect herself. What other choice does she have? Jessie casts a love spell on a good man, a man with whom she can’t fight her attraction. The spell doesn’t work quite as planned – she ends up falling for Ethan.

To top it off, Ethan’s treatment of her, his “love”, is so addictive. Deep down, she knows the spell will wear off, and yet his feelings seem genuine. It’s just a spell…right?

Fara Bellamont has been back in society for a year after leaving Cluny Abbey, where her uncle sent her long ago.

But, Fara finds herself thrust into an adventure of a lifetime when unforeseen circumstances cause her to place her trust in a strange man for protection. His intervention not only saves her, but puts her in an even more compromising position. Grant Hill, a trading captain, is enchanted by the young heiress not only because of her beauty, but because she is hardly conventional. Underneath her ladylike exterior lies a tigress. Grant cannot help but offer his protection as she is in need and he is far from immune from her charms. Fara just never bargained on the passion that she feels for Grant Hill. As events unfold, she must decide whether her desires and the dictates of her heart should trump the rules of society…

Crescent City Magick: Welcome To New Orleans - Michael L. Peters

Michael L. Peters' "Crescent City Magick: Welcome To New Orleans" is a beautifully illustrated urban fantasy tale that's not only rich in imagery but also in its dimensional characters. Even secondary characters, brief as their appearances might be, have unique voices and memorable designs, reflecting the vividness and colour of the setting, New Orleans. We also get a variety of supernatural presences, including the very easy-going and charming Julia (self-proclaimed witch), who keeps things on an even keel for the distressed but physically capable Clayton, hero-in-waking who's yet to understand that he's more than neck-deep in the irrational, paranormal world. Without giving anything away, we get a hefty amount of danger, good old-fashioned fisticuffs, a nice dose of horror, and an enjoyable 'team' relationship realistically forming, all wrapped up in the end with an air of expectancy, but one that's satisfying.

Peters as an illustrator has a deft and loving hand, whether it's for old or young characters, the muscular Clayton, or the fey-like charm of Julia. Besides his intricate illustrations, his sequential storytelling is a pleasure to take in, as he cuts no corners on panel detail. Imagery influenced by the best in Pre-Raphaelite, Celtic, and Art Nouveau styles--as an admirer of all these schools of art, I feel I've landed a visual treasure in "Crescent City Magick". Peters' storytelling with narrative and dialogue is spot-on as well, smooth and clear so that you're free to enjoy the tale being told. A satisfying addition to my and anyone's visual collection, here's hoping Peters will have the opportunity to do more!
