Hardnosed construction worker, Frank Hickman, has got to be hallucinating. Is the shimmering beauty beside him a figment of his imagination? Or some warped Halloween prank pulled on him by his boys? Will Frank’s realization come too late?

Excerpt:
…That did the trick. The glow vanished as things returned to normal. Frank flopped on the bed fully clothed, too tired and confused to think about the event. He was just glad it was over.
He lapsed into a troubled sleep, one where he couldn’t decipher real from unreal. Those soft brown eyes lured him deeper into the depths until she took full form beside him. Frank twitched to gain his freedom. But, he couldn’t break loose from the hypnotic state.
He could only lay nose to nose with the effervescent seductress in blue velvet. She persisted in talking to him. His rapidly batting eyes latched onto her mouth. He found his attention jumped from her magnetizing eyes to her luscious-looking lips. Trying to disconnect was useless. So, his eyes closed as he gave in to her will and lost himself in another realm.
