Too bad that he’s starting to feel the same way.

Megan McGraw and her best friend Nadja are so tired of waiting for the right man to arrive that they decide a little magic spell might hurry things along.

When he shows up a few days later, she is horrified to think the spell actually worked, particularly when she finds she is far more interested in his bad-tempered screenwriter friend, John James O’Leary.

Silver Carlysle has no illusions about the cutthroat movie business.

The interview with the anonymous assassin is the coup of Madison’s short journalistic career. The man is heartless, soulless, and determinedly seductive, and she leaves feeling shaken. Constantine should never have given in to the pressure to speak to the reporter, but once he does, he is caught by her innocent sensuality, so much so that he can’t forget her. Scaling her balcony on a rainy Paris night is even more suicidal, but it doesn’t matter. He has to have her. Just as she has to have him. Love is not in the cards for his broken soul, but he didn’t count on someone like Madison breaking down his resolve, his barriers, his very life. Happy endings aren’t for the likes of him. That doesn’t mean he won’t fight for it. Warning: this novella contains violence and strong sexual content. Not for the faint of heart.

Miranda meets the Scorpion. Trouble ensues.

Emma Milsom thought a job with director/playwright Teddy Winters would help her put her life back together. She hadn’t counted on the presence of British actor Sebastian Brand in the dilapidated old theater. Sebastian was the foremost actor in horror films, adept at playing monsters of every sort, and his behavior in real life wasn’t much of an improvement. Rumors of accidents and death followed him, and Emma should have had enough sense to keep her distance. But Sebastian was mesmerizing, and just as obsessed with her. As the accidents began to escalate, Emma didn’t know whom to trust. She just knew it shouldn’t be Sebastian. Was he trying to seduce her, or kill her? Or perhaps both.
