The thrill of romance is something not too far from fear. The unknown
sends a shiver down our spines, much more so when it's truly otherworldly.
In Josephine Myles' "In the Greenwood", woodland spirit Mirabelle falls in
love with lonely artist Jay, but they cannot touch. She sets out to find Jay
a friend -- and if she is brave enough, she might find something for
herself, too. "Said the Spider to the Fly," by ND Drake, is about Elijah and
Jamie, vampires and soulmates. When a woman sitting in a café captures
Elijah's attention, Jamie is jealous, but soon discovers there is joy in the
hunt.
In "Jolene," Giselle Renarde's heroine throws a bash to show off her new
lover. When Wesley shows up with a boyfriend, all three are sucked into a
situation beyond imagining. "Changeling," by JL Merrow shows that identities
are fluid when Meg sets her heart on a boy who isn't who he says he is. Will
the faerie queen unravel the riddle for the humans in her clutches?
Finally, in BA Tortuga's "Moasi," Tom has only weeks to live unless he
accepts the offer of the mysterious healer Pax to abandon everything and
find a cure. When Tom's wife, Jenn, shows up with divorce papers and a gun
in hand, only Pax can guess how this scorned woman will ravish them all.
In Taken, five authors explore what it means to lose yourself in love.
