Sometimes you just need to let your inner wanton run free.

Cecilia Thomas has an average life with no real excitement in it, until she decides to be a little daring at a Halloween costume ball. The high school science teacher meets her exciting match in a handsome, sexy pirate. She lets her inner sensual self run wild for the one night, possibly more.

Devlin Wolfe is a wealthy philanthropist who tries to stay behind the scenes, not wanting to be chased by women only after his money. He hosts a costume ball with the hopes of getting to know Cecilia better, having known her at the school under an alias he sometimes uses. Getting to know her better proves an exceptionally good idea…for both of them.

Great characters and some down-right sexy fun!

Sometimes you need to be very careful what you wish for, what you desire.

Kerri is frustrated with her life, especially her sex life. She is determined to have one sinful night, and what better night than Halloween. A handsome stranger at a party gives her what she wants…and more.

This was a short, spicy Halloween story with a twist. It was fun, but felt a bit odd to me, a little too forced.

Two people on the rebound from bad relationships find something special, something really hot in a most unexpected place on Halloween night.

Shari Phillips is determined to forget her miserable ex, conquer her fears, and get on with life. But, while on her way to a Halloween party, she decides to go to a haunted house. She quickly realizes this might not have been her best choice. And then when she meets a handsome man in costume as Dracula, she decides this side-trip wasn’t so bad after all.

Will is newly divorced and ready to start fresh, ready even to let his boss attempt to play matchmaker at a Halloween party. But before he goes there, he goes with his teenaged nephew and friends to a haunted house. Fate must have brought him here. It sure led him to one sexy woman.

For a very short story, I really enjoyed it. The characters were developed enough for the length of plot, and the sex definitely spicy.
