| Melanie Trident is an accountant for Viva Venus, her step-sister's über successful day spa. Mel is used to being the plain one, especially when compared to her gorgeous blonde sibling. That's probably why she keeps reading her favorite romance novel, Wizard's Heart. At least then she can pretend she's the heroine of her own story.
Her sis insists she attends a masked ball to celebrate the opening of Club Mirage; Mel reluctantly agrees and hits the shopping district. She discovers an unusual store called Madam Periwinkle's Erotic Delights. It has every naughty thing a girl needs to entertain herself and a bevy of lovers. Yet, Melanie is drawn to the golden Mask of Aphrodite. The unusual proprietor has it wrapped and boxed before Mel decides she even wants it.
As if that's not weird enough, she meets a gorgeous stranger in a coffee shop. Nic Chival's interest in her is both surprising and intriguing, but Melanie doesn't trust easily. However, she doesn't count on Madam Periwinkle or the special qualities of her merchandise. The magic of the mask opens up a whole new world… and Melanie has to decide if she wants to risk everything for the heart of a man who already loves her.
