Danielle Mantagne has for all practical purposes, come to the end of her rope. She had once been a woman on top of the world with a successful career, charming husband, baby on the way, and loving parents. Until one tragic accident changed it all. When the accident takes not only the baby, but her ability to have more babies, and damages her beautiful face... Danielle's "devoted" husband makes short work of leaving her flat. As if the tragic losses weren't enough, her loving parents soon pass away in yet another horrible accident.
Feeling on the brink of madness, Danielle flees. Just drops everything and runs. She finds solace and some shred of hope in a long forgotten family plantation buried in the Louisiana Bayou. And the magic she finds there is beyond anything she ever imagined.
Conjure the Wind is a paranormal erotic novelette, not suitable for all audiences. Enjoy this excerpt:
Though it was only mid-May, it was already nearly one hundred degrees of humid sticky heat. Danielle was wringing wet with sweat by the time she emerged through the willows in front of her new home. She dropped her bags and stared open mouthed.
The sprawling white home was massive. It was comprised of a wraparound porch, balconies, pillars, dozens of windows, and ornate wrought iron trim. The once white home was pealing and greyed from generations of weather. Spanish moss, rose bushes, and climbing vines draped it. The sun that poured into the clearing glinted off the ancient window panes, many of which were broken. The plantation in the clearing sat alone, forgotten by time, and silently lingering waiting to be rediscovered. Though there was no noise other than the breeze in the trees and the song of the Whippoorwills, Danielle imagined she heard remnants of music that must have been played here long ago in the plantation's heyday. She stood drinking in every detail of this setting, totally isolated from the world, and all hers. Then, she giggled joyfully and ran for the front door.
