BLURB:
Six
complete sweet to sensual romances from six multi-talented authors in settings
that are sure to keep you spellbound with tales about young magic, charming
reunions, and new beginnings. Enjoy the darker side where witches cast spells,
vampires exist, and zombies walk the earth. There's a story for everyone.
Man
of Her Dreams by Gerald Costlow
Anise
and Charlene are living the busy lives of young Goth women trying to juggle
college and jobs and – in their case – training as apprentice Sherritt witches
under the tutelage of Anise's mother, Annabel.
Then
over Thanksgiving break, the girls encounter a young man named Donnie who
claims to be running from a demon – a demon sent by the Devil himself. They
might have dismissed the man as deluded, but Anise recognizes him from her
dreams. He is the perfect lover she's been dreaming of night after night.
Now
the witches are involved in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, discovering they
have only days to figure out how to help Donnie. Are even the famous Sherritt
witches up to the challenge? Third in the Modern Day Sherritt series.
Under
the Harvest Moon by Markee Anderson
Victoria
Sommerfield is the maid of honor at her neighbor's wedding, the day after the
Harvest Festival. She's also very fond of Kirby, her best friend from high
school, who's also in the bridal party. Victoria's forced to make a few decisions
thanks to a crime in town. At least Kirby can save the day, for now. But can
she take the next step with him?
Day
of the Dead ~ (Dia de los Muertos) by Cecilia Corona
The
Day of the Dead takes on a new meaning, when the dead don't stay dead. Dr. Valentina
Bellmonte, a cancer survivor, is the new coroner at Hope Memorial. Her faith is
put to the test when a body arrives at the morgue drained of blood and the man
responsible for the crime is sporting fangs. Could vampires be real?
Her
good friend, Dr. Xander Carlisle seems to know the truth, but he's unwilling to
confide in her. He has a secret of his own and it's not just how he feels about
her, but something else entirely, something he's forbidden to reveal.
Apple
of His Eye by Nan O'Berry
Callie
Dalton's truck runs out of gas on the road to her family's fruit stand. When a
forestry agent Marshall Albright comes to her rescue, little does she know that
he is the grandson of her grandfather's worst enemy, Brice Huntington. It seems
the Dalton's and Huntington's have been waging a feud for the past twenty-nine
years, ever since Laura Huntington left Stephen Dalton at the altar.
Falling
in love was the easy part; the hard part is going to be keeping their
grandparents from confronting one another. Can their love bring these two
warring factions together?
Alive
by Vincent Nutt
A
mutated form of Cholera infects the world, creating zeeks, zombielike creatures
in every respect. The group I'm with has traveled far. We've all lost those
we've held dear along the way, but when life is unpredictable, anything can
happen... This Thanksgiving brings new friends into our lives, and a fresh look
at what tomorrow may bring.
Young
Witchcraft by Stephanie Burkhart
Rachel's
secret would have Cotton Mather rolling over in his grave. She's been raised
from an early age to use magic for good, despite her temptation to cast a spell
against Phil the bully who can't stop teasing her.
Joe
thinks Rachel is cool, especially when she weaves her healing magic spells on
him, but he's got his own problems. It's not easy keeping Rachel safe from
Phil's constant threats.
When
Phil poisons Rachel, can love and a little young witchcraft bring Rachel and
Joe together or has years of Phil's bullying ruined their relationship for
good?
EXCERPT:
from "Apple of his Eye:"
The window powered up and she watched as the truck moved
back, the pulled in front, facing her. She cast a forlorn glance at the hissing
steam still radiating from the grill and wondered how much was this going to
cost. Hearing the door open and the driver's footsteps move closer, she turned
to face her rescuer offering him a gracious smile.
"Thanks for stopping."
"Sure." He placed his hands on his hips and
studied the old truck. "Engine over heating?"
"Yes." Callie's heart gave a skip of a beat. Tall,
summed him up in one word, tall and blonde. The loose waist-length, green
jacket made the shoulders beneath the tan button up appear a mile wide. She
pushed her hair away from her face where the wind had blown it and glanced back
toward him. It was a shame a pair of aviator glasses covered his eyes for she
was dying to see what color they were.
"Did you try to open the hood?" he asked.
"Uh-huh." Jiminy, my answer sounds lame. Quickly
shifting her glance to the car, she nodded. "It's still too hot."
"Let me see what I can do."

enjoying the Southern California weather. She loves movies, animals of all

young and saw the movie Splash for the first time, she believed sprinkling salt
in the bathtub would magically allow her to grow a tail. She was sadly
disappointed when the experiment didn't work. If she can't be a mermaid, then
maybe she'll just have to write about them.
