A woman's mundane life is suddenly turned upside down when a mysterious stranger gives her back the memories he'd hidden from her fifteen years ago. She remembers more than their dangerous past together--she remembers his magic and how he used it against her. That magic would be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a mother who would do anything to protect her son...even if faced with the father who's come back to claim him. When the past comes back to haunt you, sometimes the least of your problems are the ghosts.

On the outskirts of a small town on Vancouver Island, Canada, there had been several inexplicable sightings of what can only be described as an "angel." On each occasion, the witnesses had been exclusively females and their reporting of the apparition had been consistent and perplexing to authorities. Out of a "bright light" in the forest, the women reported, would step a "beautiful young woman." Seen to be simply dressed and without coat or gloves in the cold of winter, she would timidly approach them to make a special request. The phenomenon would not go away nor be restricted to Canada as the reporting spread across an unfathomable distance and with impressive consequences that would ultimately change the world. Each of the women who witnessed the phenomenon over the next months confirmed the stunning character to be shockingly engulfed in a nimbus of light. Yet her appearance left them feeling "peaceful," and "beguiled." More sightings would continue across the continents, and by year's end, extraordinary stories by other women had amassed globally---all about the elusive young figure they would simply call "The Winter Angel."

EVERYBODY DIES IN THE NAME OF LOVE © 2016 opheliacs [99 - ss]

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.

It was LA in the year 2O21. A new underground theme park called "The River Styx" had just closed down. "Too many mysterious deaths and unethical methods to get people to visit it," the official inquiry had reported. Only a chosen few had managed to make the dark journey down 'hell's river" before its demise, and Angel would be one of them. It was her obsession about the attraction--and her own mysterious connection to it which finally got him to take the voyage. Looking back, it was that first day in the photo lab, while trying to get the young model's image more metallic on the screen. That's when Angel suddenly appeared to him in the flesh--her face next to his in the blue light of the monitor. So what was it about this girl, he wondered? Why did she so obviously seek him out romantically as one of the few to take that mythological journey? He would only learn those details while navigating the subterranean river with her--an answer to forever disturb his soul?
