Thank you to the four other Hussies authors—Nicole Austin, Sahara Kelly, Sally

Painter and Ciana Stone—and to Da Dude S.L. Carpenter, for providing laughs,

chocolate-covered mint cookies, insight, joy, pizza, wisdom and hugs. Your collective

Cassiopeia

Prologue

Myth, magic or legend? There have been Hussies since before time was measured in

days and minutes. Women who fought bravely alongside their mates with sword and

axe, warriors whose courage changed the world around them. Led by the first Hussy,

Danu, these fierce fighters discovered their inner strengths, summoned reserves they

didn’t know they possessed and passed into the fabric of legend with their daring

exploits.

Since that time, myths have been spun around the Hussy Warriors—tales told by

firelight, whispered from mother to daughter—eventually to take their place amongst

the mystical fables that shape our souls.

But the essence of a Hussy remains strong in the hearts of so many women.

Heroines who don’t realize that within them lies the power to make a difference, to

effect change, to use their passion every bit as skillfully as Danu wielded her sword so

long ago. Warriors in different times and different places, who love as deeply and

desire as desperately as any woman ever has, seldom knowing that their desire will

impact not just one man, but so much more.

Therein lies the magic of a Hussy. To right a wrong, turn a frown to a smile—to

positively change those around her. To love a man with every fiber of her body, to learn

from that love and to grow stronger because of it.

Whether in the past, the future or the here-and-now, there are Hussies around each

corner. They may not even be aware of their Hussy destiny. But one thing is certain—

when passion knocks on their door, lives will change for the better. And when it comes

to their one special hero? Well, he’s in for the ride of his life.

Which leaves one unanswered question…are you a Hussy?
