"Dark Hunger" by Christine Feehan
In a dark jungle, a beautiful activist liberates animals from a secret laboratory - and stumbles across an unexpected prisoner. She releases the Carpathian from his bonds - only to unleash his voracious appetite on herself . . .
"Awaiting Moonrise" by Maggie Shayne
A science professor enters the steamy bayou to find a new species of animal, convinced that its presence is behind the stories of lycanthropy in the region, but finds herself tempted by a legendary creature straight out of her most sensual nightmare . . .
"The Night Owl" by Emma Holly
Little ever seems to stir in the sleepy woods of a small Vermont town, until a new owner takes over the exclusive local inn. He is centuries old and has traveled far and wide to find his queen - and now nothing will stop him from claiming her . . .
"Seduction's Gift" by Angela Knight
All's fair in the war between desire and resistance when a lady cop pulls over a speeder - and finds an immortal lover who is determined to seduce her into accepting her own passionate destiny . . .
When the sun goes down, each woman will discover the man she desires - within the beast that drives her wild . . .
Christine Feehan continues with her Carpathians and adds a bit more to the mix. Angela Knight's Seduction's Gift is the great start of a new series she calls the 'Mageverse'. All four stories are well written with none of the rushed qualities many anthologies have.
