Paranormal Romance Anthology Undead
and Unwed: A Honeymoon Story
New York City, New York - Present Day
The newlywed Queen Betsy and King Sinclair are looking
forward to having time alone for once. They arrive in New York
City ready for some exciting nightlife and shopping. What they
find, however, is Betsy's best friend, Jessica, and her vampire
hating cop boyfriend, Nick. Nick is gleeful at the chance to disrupt
and destroy the happy couple's honeymoon, and when a series of
grisly murders takes place after their arrival, he quickly tries
to place the blame on the undead monarchs. Unknown to the quartet
though, are the evil plans put in place to test the Queen and
her legendary abilities.
Undead and Unwed: A Honeymoon Story is another humorous
and bloody visit with our favorite Vampire Queen. The sizzling
romance between Betsy and Sinclair is as hot and hilarious as
ever. The sniping and tit-for-tat between Sinclair and Nick is
riotous (Nick ends up on a shoe buying excursion with Betsy!)
and the murders are pure, gory evil. This tale is a terrific treat
for fans of the Undead series.
Survivors
A Rowboat in the Pacific Ocean - Present Day
Animal World TV host and supposed survival expert
Con Conlinson is adrift in the middle of the ocean and contemplating
his death by starvation when he begins hallucinating. An extremely
beautiful naked woman is suddenly swimming next to his boat and
asking him if he needs help. Reanesta is one of the undersea folk
who have recently been allowed to show themselves to landwalkers,
and all she wants to do is help the handsome and helpless Con
survive, not an easy task when he doesn't exactly want to cooperate.
After they finally find a deserted island to land on however,
Con and Reanesta give in to the attraction that has been building
between them for days. When rescue is close, will Con choose love
or ratings?
Survivors is a laugh-out-loud romp with a sharp-tongued
mermaid and a hapless reality TV host. Reanesta has never felt
attractive and is bowled over when Con tells her she is the most
beautiful woman...er, mermaid, he has ever met. The chemistry
between them is red-hot, and when they finally give in to their
passion, they are overwhelmed by their emotions. A winning story
added to the Fred the Mermaid series.
Speed Dating, Werewolf Style or, Ow, I Think
You Broke the Bone
Cape Cod, Massachusetts- Present Day
Pondering her upcoming thirtieth birthday, werewolf
Cain realizes that all of her pack mates have found their soul
mates and married while she can't even find a date. Aggressive
and tough, Cain doesn't exactly have men falling all over themselves
to meet her. She decides to ask her best friend Saul for help
in hooking her up with the perfect mate. Apparently the pickings
are slim as one after another lousy date dismally fails. Of course,
it would have helped to know that Saul isn't about to let any
werewolf with potential get near Cain when he has been in love
with her since they were children. When Cain is threatened by
one of her dates, Saul knows that the time has come to claim his
surly and recalcitrant mate.
Dating disasters and vicious barbs are the highlights
of Speed Dating, Werewolf Style. A determined Cain and mild-mannered,
geeky Saul are perfect sparring partners when Cain is laid low
and Saul turns on the aggression. Who knew that geeks could be
sex gods? Another tempestuous and funny story in the Wyndham Werewolves
saga.
DEAD OVER HEELS is guaranteed to tickle both your
funny bone and your heart. All three stories are joyfully romantic
and filled with passion. While each story is attached to a series,
they are off the regular path of some of our favorite clans and
stand well on their own. Superior writing, original characters,
and zany plots will keep readers glued to the stories. A wild,
wicked, and witty romp, DEAD OVER HEELS is very highly recommended.
