"A Different Kind of Fantasy Story"

Perhaps by Michelle Hauf

Quirky, free-spirited Devon is the kind of girl who'll try anything once -- including fencing, topiary, and even piano. Trying to find a fairy ring using an old book as reference seems like just another fun experience. Then she steps into the ring and disappears... leaving her cat and her best friend Alex Gordon behind.

Alex is the practical type. He has stuck with Devon through all her experiments, and loved her through all of it. When she disappears into the fairy ring he knows it's up to him to get her back -- so he steps through after her.

On the other side of the ring is a whole other world, a world where magic works and the people live in villages right out of medieval times. A world where an evil lord, Damen the Dark, suffers under a curse that can only be cured if he seduces an angel to his bed. What he gets is Devon... and on her trail, the newly-invented Mighty Warrior Lexor.

PERHAPS is a unique fantasy novella. It is a quest story, and a very contemporary and hip romance. It's a story about love that's right beneath your nose -- the kind of love that you never see, or that you sometimes need a little help to see. While PERHAPS will probably appeal most to those who like a little angel/demon mixed in with their romance, it really is a neat story that just about any romance lover could appreciate.

PERHAPS was originally published by Dreams Unlimited. It has since been re-published as part of HEAVEN AND HELL: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WHIMSICAL STORIES.

Sensuality Level: The novella is largely non-sensual.
