A man with a teasing smile and an angel's voice, Zeph is supposed to be nothing more than a beautiful, fun Parisian adventure. His voice lures me in. His gorgeous blue eyes draw me to him. And his smile puts me at ease. We part after just one night. The next time I see him, I'm captured and trapped in a world I never knew existed. Madame Tan's establishment is intriguing and whimsical on the outside. But it turns dark and sinister as I'm plunged deep into it. Humans do not belong in the menagerie, so what is Zeph doing here? I realize I know nothing about the man who has ruled over my imagination since the day we met. I need to find my way out or risk spending the rest of my life locked in a cage. Only the more I learn about Zeph, the more I realize he's not from my world. Is he a willing participant in the menagerie? Or a victim, just like me? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ Each book in the Madame Tan's Freakshow series is a complete love story of a separate couple. To follow the main storyline, however, it is recommended to read the trilogy in order. A part of this story, with a different world explanation, has been previously published as Menagerie of Oddities in the Tempted by Fae anthology. Call of Water is a contemporary fantasy romance that contains graphic descriptions of intimacy and some violence (not by the hero against the heroine). Intended for mature readers.

I saw him once, when I was fourteen. Years have passed. My memories have faded, and Lero’s image in my mind has become barely an apparition from the past—beautiful and intriguing, but hardly real. Until I see him again. Only this time, I’m no longer a teenager, I’m a real estate agent, hoping to sell an exquisite property, a private island in the Bahamas, to one of our company’s most important clients. I just never knew that the client would turn out to be Lero. Now, he is no longer just a memory for me. He is a man in flesh and blood. I am a grown woman, too, and my reaction to him is so much more intense. When I finally find out what he is, secrets come crashing down, leading to astonishing and terrifying discoveries. I learn he’s been held captive and tortured by people he wouldn’t talk to me about. He thinks he is protecting me and my peaceful life. What he doesn’t realize is that there is no life for me without him, anymore. The Moon may turn him into a monster and make him do terrible things, but I'm Stella, his morning star. I must find a way to lead him back into the light. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ Each book in the Madame Tan's Freakshow series is a complete love story of a separate couple set in Marina Simcoe's paranormal romance world of the River of Mists.

Trilogy conclusion. “The final performance! The most incredible transformation! Never before seen!” Madame Tan’s Menagerie is closing with one last show. But is the ten-thousand-dollar ticket worth its hefty price tag? Not to me. Unless I turn it into an investment and get the show on tape. With my large social media following, I would find a way to get my money back and earn a profit. The show turns out to be not what I expected. Nothing is what it seems here, including the owner, Madame Tan. My failure to understand who she truly is nearly costs me my life. I would’ve had no idea what I walked into that night in Singapore if it wasn’t for Radax, one of Madame’s slaves. He tells me his story and the story of the woman who owns him. More than that, he reveals the horrendous plans she has for the world. There is no way for me, a mere mortal, to stop what Madame turns out to be. But there are others on Earth who came from Radax’s world. To save life as I know it, I need to find them, unite them, and weaken the force feeding the divine entity that threatens to take over our world. The fight may cost me all I hold dear, including the man I’ve come to love more than life. If I knew the price I’d have to pay, would I still do it? Even I can’t tell. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ Each book in the Madame Tan's Freakshow series is a complete love story of a separate couple.
