Twice Upon a Time
In late 2010, while at a booksigning and doing what she loves best--meeting her reader fans--author Tina Gerow was struck with symptoms of a dangerous medical condition known as Arteriovenous Malformation. What followed was a series of operations, a lengthy hospital stay and rehabilitation. We are happy to report that Tina is doing well, though her complete recovery is an ongoing process. In cases like this, medical expenses can mount rapidly and, as it often does, the literary community steps in to help however they can. This book is the result of an outpouring of just a few of Tina's friends from the Romantic Times Faery Court. This one-of-a-kind anthology includes the literary talents of Eden Robins, Amanda McIntyre, Sahara Kelly, Taige Crenshaw, Vijaya Schartz, Janet Miller, Joy Nash, Liddy Midnight and Kayce Lassiter...and a contribution from you--the buyer of this book! Every author is donating 100% of their royalties to the fund established to assist Tina with her medical bills. My thanks to my sister fae, gifted and giving people, as well as authors who have stepped up to put this anthology together for Tina's benefit. ~ Amanda McIntyre Cover art designed by Scott Carpenter and Sahara Kelly

Silver Silence
Dark Magic
It dooms Rhys to wander the endless roadways and wild forests, searching for druids strong enough in the Light to battle the coming evil. Duty demands that he lead a solitary life, touching others only through the power of his harp and his song, taking women to his bed but not his heart.
Dark Passion
It drives Rhys to commit acts that shame him, especially when he believes they’ve been witnessed by the innocent girl he’s sworn to protect. Breena is pure, young, virginal, and he hates himself for his fantasies of bringing her to pleasure with his hands, his mouth, his hard body.
Dark Spell
It steals Breena away, leaving Rhys to follow her through the Lost Lands to another time, when the danger she has Seen threatens all Britain. Only together can they unravel the secret linking their past with this future, and break the…Silver Silence.

A Little Light Magic
When a girl with no family meets a guy with too much.
For Tori Morgan, family's a blessing the universe hasn't sent her way. Her parents are long gone, her chance of having a baby is slipping away, and the only thing she can call her own is a neglected old house. What she wants more than anything is a place where she belongs, and a big, noisy clan to share her life.
For Nick Santangelo, family's more like a curse. His nonna is a closet kleptomaniac, his mom's a menopausal time bomb and his motherless daughter is headed for serious boy trouble. The last thing Nick needs is another female making demands on his time.
But summer on the Jersey shore can be an enchanted season, when life's hurts are soothed by the ebb and flow of the tides and love can bring together the most unlikely prospects. A hard-headed contractor and a lonely reader of Tarot cards and crystal prisms? All it takes is A Little Light Magic.

Genre(s): Historical Romance, Regency
It was lovely to finally see Grace Sheffey find her happiness, although it did take some doing. As an aside, now that I've read this book, I have a hankering to read the previous novels – Sophia Nash did a great job with world and character building. Michael Rainier was the perfect foil for her and it was absolutely moved to see him make her so happy. I would have been a good deal more pleased if Grace'
Immortals: The Crossing
For centuries they have walked among us--vampires, shape-shifters, the Celtic Sidhe, demons, and other magical beings. Their battle to reign supreme is constant, but one force holds them in check, a race of powerful warriors known as the IMMORTALS.
For Manannán mac Lir, a musician and Celtic demigod, life had become a blur of post-gig parties, expensive whisky, and cheap sex. And then the baby almost died--a baby he had sworn to protect. On the hunt for the would-be killer, Mac finds Artemis Black, a stunningly dangerous woman who's inexplicably able to intertwine life magic with death magic. For the safety of his people, he should destroy her. But the aching vulnerability in her eyes calls to him. And the raw desire she inspires has nothing to do with a spell. Their love may be forbidden, but Mac and Artemis can't go back once they've made...THE CROSSING
