Blade of the Wolf
Ronan, immortal werewolf and Scottish Sgian Dubh Guardian, faces his most challenging, yet enticing, mission in centuries. He must protect sexy clairvoyant medium Syrena Ellis from an evil incubus intent on stealing her powerful life force. She awakens a raging arousal in Ronan, but if he gives in to temptation, he will be punished.
Dark and edgy, Ronan captivates Syrena. He is hot, hard and in control, yet his scorching glances and sinful kisses tell her he yearns for her. Even though she’s only a job, she finds a way past his iron-willed resistance. She’s determined to explore the depths of erotic passion with him. They’re unaware that their explosive sexual encounters are providing the enemy incubus with heightened energy, making him almost impossible to defeat.
Syrena’s forbidden desire and scorching lust for Ronan could destroy them both.

Laird of Darkness
Half-Fae Laird Duncan MacDougall is cursed. His nights are haunted by Otherworld creatures sent to kill him. The only way to stop them is to possess the magic bow currently in the hands of his enemy half brother, Kinnon MacClaren. In desperation, Duncan plans to take MacClaren's bride-to-be hostage and exchange her for the bow.
Lady Alana Forbes has never met her intended, but she hopes he is handsome—and a good lover, for Alana is no innocent virgin. On her way to Castle Claren, Alana and her escorts are intercepted, and she is kidnapped by a man with extraordinary abilities—and every attribute she longs for in a mate.
Duncan didn't expect the woman he thought of as a mere pawn to be so beautiful, and so arousing. Alana is drawn to him as well—but Duncan still needs the bow, and Alana is betrothed to another. How far will Alana go to save the life of the man she's come to love?

Secrets Volume 30
Cox Club – Alice Gaines At the urging of her best friend, Andi Crawford visits an exclusive club in order to find some sexual satisfaction after her divorce. The last person she expects to find at a place like Club Cox is her overbearing ex-husband, Blake. But, he’s there and as tempting as ever. Can she maintain her independence, or will she surrender to the intense physical pleasure only he can give her? To My Reader: The great thing about writing is the ability to portray the world the way it ought to exist. There really ought to be clubs where women can go to fulfill every sensual and sexual fantasy. I’ve created such a club in this story. Enjoy the fantasy! Kat On a Hot Tin Roof – Maree Anderson Kat Meyer is completely clueless about the ancient Chinese curse that turns her into a cat between the hours of 11pm and 1am. Feline-Kat targets those born under the Chinese Zodiac Sign of the Rat and steals precious items from them, but Kat believes that Cupcake, her pet cat, is the culprit who’s leaving “gifts” on her pillow. When Jace Burton wakes in the middle of the night to find a naked and highly distraught Kat in his living room, he’s inclined to believe her bizarre tale of sleepwalking and cat-burglars-of-the-feline-persuasion—not to mention appalled to think of what harm might have befallen her while she prowled the streets at night! Jace is willing to go all out to protect Kat from harm—whether she likes it or not—but how’s he gonna react when he discovers her secret? To My Reader: When my kids were small, their favorite story was Slinky Malinki, about a cat-burglar of the feline persuasion, and I once owned a cat that used to carry stuff around in his mouth. So I was just waiting for an excuse to incorporate a clever cat-burglar into one of my stories, and voilà! Kat On A Hot Tin Roof. My heroine, Kat, blames the “gifts” left on her pillow each night on Cupcake, her pet cat. And when she wakes up naked, curled atop her bed, she believes she’s been sleepwalking—bare-assed naked sleepwalking. What other explanation could there possibly be? Hmmm. That would be telling ;-) Oh, the endless possibilities for fun and embarrassment, LOL. Poor Kat. With all the weirdness in her life right now, the last thing she needs is a sexy alpha male, who sends her dormant hormones into orbit. So of course, that’s exactly who rocks into town and turns her life upside down. And when Jace gets up-close-and-personal with Kat, he discovers there’s far more to this cat-burglar caper than meets the eye. I hope you enjoy Jace and Kat’s story! Kellen's Conquest by Anne Kane Orphaned as a child, Mia’s most cherished dream is to settle down and have a family of her own. Kellen may be the sexiest man in the known worlds, but he’s AlphElite and when they settle down, it’s with one of their own kind. When someone sets him up to kill her, Kellen decides to kidnap her and keep her by his side until he’s sure she’s safe. They traverse the stars, stopping to fight off a sentient reptile and enlist the help of Kaelin’s teammates to find out who wants her dead, and more importantly, why. To My Reader: I love to fantasize about what the future might hold for mankind. One thing I’m sure about is that love will still make it all worthwhile. I hope you enjoy reading Kellen and Mia’s story as much as I enjoyed telling it. Scoundrel in a Kilt by Nicole North Brodie, Chieftain of Clan MacCain, is a dark, sensual Scottish scoundrel who loves nothing more than being a selkie shape-shifter, even if he has been cursed by a witch of the dark arts. Stunning modern day supermodel Erin Schultz blazes into his 1621 world like a falling star. Though he’s certain she will shatter life as he knows it by breaking his curse, he can’t resist her tantalizing seduction. To My Reader: Nothing’s hotter than a Highland hunk in a kilt… except when he takes off that kilt. I hope you enjoy my wicked, dark shape-shifting selkie scoundrel, Brodie, as much as the time-t

Not only did each and every one of the stories fit the theme, but they were all very well rendered. In fact, not only did I not regret picking up this anthology for the authors I al
