Love at first bite

Four authors contribute paranormal romance novellas, each pairing a love story with a supernatural threat.

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Until Death Do Us Part", dark magic tied Esperetta's soul to her husband's more than five hundred years ago. When Velkan became a Dark-Hunter, she became immortal too, and she was horrified. Now the two must face an old enemy together while the passion between them flares again.

L.A. Banks's "Ride the Night Wind" follows Jose Ciponte, who is haunted by dreams of a woman so beautiful he aches for her. A deadly enemy stalks them both in those dreams. Now the dreams have turned real.

In Susan Squires's "The Gift", Major Davis Ware plans to propose to Emma Fairchild. A summons back to battle ends that plan and sends him toward a desperate fate. Emma is ready to go into hell itself to save him.

Ronda Thompson's "The Forgotten One" introduces Lady Anne Baldwin, who longs to break free from her proper bonds. Then she meets Merrick, a mysterious man whose eyes glow like a wolf's. He may prove far more than she expected.
