Coconut Cream Pie — Kate Hill

Antjuan, a magical dancer with the power to summon snakes, is having a bad week. First he and his roommate Dylan are robbed. Next his rich and pretentious arch rival in the upcoming dance contest shows up at his dilapidated studio to gloat. Then he's shot with a near fatal dose of compulsion dust while protecting a friend who's involved in the dangerous magical underworld of Grimton City.

To recover from the attack, Antjuan travels to the Wicked Wild where he can relax in the fresh air. Bad luck seems to follow him because while swimming in Hot River, he is nearly drowned by enchanted reeds. Fortunately Seth, a gorgeous snake shifter, comes to his rescue.

According to legend, the sexual magnetism of snake shifters rivals that of vampires, and the lust that ignites between Antjuan and Seth proves it. When Antjuan incorporates Seth into his act, they give snake dancing a whole new image. But will it be enough for them to win the dance contest and prove to the magical community that snake shifters aren't as evil as people believe?
