THE WOLF'S MATE - CYNTHIA EDEN
When Michael Morlet finds Katherine "Kat" Hardy fighting for her life in a dark alley, he instantly recognizes her as the mate he's been seeking all of his life. He knows that he will do whatever it takes to claim her, body and soul. But someone's trying to kill Kat, and the attack in the alley is just the first in a series of close calls for her. With danger stalking them at every turn, will Kat trust him enough to become The Wolf's Mate?
To My Readers: I published my first werewolf story, Bite of the Wolf, with Red Sage in December of 2005, and I was thrilled to be able to follow-up that tale with an additional story about my French wolves. The Wolf's Mate is Michael Morlet's story. Michael is the pack protector. He is a strong, fierce hunter, a guardian, and right now, he has set his sights on guarding his soon-to-be mate, Kat Hardy.
I had a wonderful time writing Michael's story! I hope you enjoy the tale, and my take on the werewolf legend. Please feel free to visit my website at www.cynthiaeden.com or you may email me at info@cynthiaeden.com.
FLESH TO FANTASY - LARISSA IONE
Kelsa Bradshaw is an intense loner whose job keeps her happily immersed in a fanciful world of virtual reality. Desperate to protect her existence, she wants nothing to do with Trent Jordan, a laid-back paramedic who experiences the harsh realities of life up close and personal. But when their vastly different worlds collide in an erotic eruption of fantasy sex and real-life emotions, can Trent convince Kelsa to turn the fantasy into something real?
To My Readers: Have you ever been so overwhelmed by life that you wanted to withdraw, to barricade yourself behind closed doors and never have to deal with life's complications again? I know I have, and Kelsa Bradshaw, the heroine in Flesh to Fantasy, has done exactly that. She lives in a safe, carefully-crafted world where nothing bad can happen -- except to her computer-generated game characters. But, like anything, too much of a good thing isn't always best. It takes a hot paramedic who is as lonely as she is to pull her out of her fantasy world and into his very real one... where they can both live out their wildest dreams. I hope you enjoy Kelsa and Trent's story.
HEART FULL OF STARS - LINDA GAYLE
Freed at last from alien bondage, singer Fanta Rae finds herself stranded on a lonely Mars outpost with the first human male she's seen in nine years. Ex-Marine Alex Decker lost his family in the Aggressions and guilt drives him into isolation, but Fanta's passion turns his world upside down. When alien assassins come to enslave her, he and Fanta must fight for their lives and a future that holds no guarantees.
To My Readers: Three emotions have united people throughout time: love, hope and passion. Heart Full of Stars is set far in the future, but these emotions still resonate as two lovers race against danger and rediscover desire.
LONE WOLF THREE - RAE MONET
Planetary politics and squabbling over wolf occupied territory drain former rebel leader Taban Zias. When Taban's second-in-charge sends him a mediator to help negotiate the Elnar land treaty, he's pissed. But his anger quickly turns to desire when he meets, Lakota Blackson. Focused, calm and honorable, the female Wolf Warrior is Taban's perfect mate - now if he can just convince her.
