"Bewitched, bewildered, but defiantly not bothered"

Now twenty-seven years later and with much interference in Nathan's life, Meriwether, Fauna and Flora believe the time is right to matchmake Aurora and Nathan.

Musketeer By Moonlight. Mary Catherine Hammersmith, owner of M.C. Hammer Investigations, has a strong reputation as a private eye amongst the city's working women. Her current assignment leads her into danger from gangsters who kill as a way of life. Desperate she chants a protection spell only to conjure up Alexandre, musketeer to the French king.

The Con and the Crusader. The two cops insist they have evidence to send conman Jack McCain to prison for a long time though his pigeon has been drugpin Arturo. Instead they offer him a deal to forget what they have if he helps them bring down Arturo. However, before he makes any deal to cooperate, Arturo's men arrive on the scene. Jack fleeing in the dark jumps over a wall only to fall into a well. However he tumbles into the past where ironically he is mistaken for a criminal.
