Love, danger, and magic collide in this action-packed urban fantasy featuring witty banter, a shifter romance, and a clever Red Riding Hood retelling. Sometimes, you need the Big Bad Wolf to make it safely through the woods. Dr. Raisa Montefiore, magic scientist, is on a mission to find the woman who messed with her research to create the world’s first wolf shifter. Unfortunately, her first move lands her in handcuffs for murder. Oops. But Raisa won’t let a little setback stop her. With a new job and her deathbed promise to her sister on the line, she sets out to convince Gideon Stern, bossy werewolf and ex-cop, to quit ghosting her and join forces. Together, they’ll hunt down their common adversary and put an end to her dangerous schemes, once and for all. As they venture deeper into treacherous magical realms, each with a deadly smart female in charge, Raisa is torn between admiration and wishing #girlpower wasn’t quite so literal. She’s always championed intelligent women, but this is ridiculous. Amidst the chaos, Raisa must confront her thirst for vengeance and the sizzling attraction blossoming between her and Gideon. Talk about a high-stakes experiment with an unpredictable outcome. Will Raisa find her way back to herself, or will she forever be lost in the woods? And hey, with a hot wolf cop by her side, maybe being lost isn’t so bad after all. If you like KF Breene, Annabel Chase, and Heather G Harris, you’ll burn through the conclusion to this clever, fast-paced duology! Join the hunt now.

Love, danger, and magic collide in this action-packed urban fantasy featuring witty banter, a shifter romance, and a clever Red Riding Hood retelling. Dr. Raisa Montefiore has based her life on science, but at the moment, only three facts are relevant: A) werewolves don't exist, B) she may have created the one standing in front of her, C) revisit fact A. She’s a magic scientist with a mission to heal, but when her passion project is twisted to create the world’s first wolf shifter and her entire world comes crashing down, she’s thrown from the lab and onto a path filled with changing—and dangerous—unknowns. With her life’s research on the line, she’s forced to work with the wolf, an infuriating man who was bossy enough before he went furry. Worse still is their cover story: fake dating. Their deadly pursuers are looking pretty good in comparison. She’s trusting the Big Bad Wolf to protect her from the perils of the forest, while hoping he’s not the biggest danger of them all. Or that she won't give in to the urge to throw his corpse in a vat of strong acid, leaving no trace of his remains. Either way, Raisa is redeeming her life’s work and no man—or wolf—is going to stop her. If you like KF Breene, Annabel Chase, and Heather G Harris, you’ll burn through this clever, fast-paced duology! Join the hunt now.

Once upon a time, the stories that came to be known as “fairy tales” were cultivated to entertain adults more than children; it was only later that they were tamed and pruned into less thorny versions intended for youngsters. But in truth, they have continued to prick the imaginations of readers at all ages. Over the years, authors have often borrowed bits and pieces from these stories, grafting them into their own writing, creating literature with both new meaning and age-old significance. In the last few decades or so, they’ve also intentionally retold and reinvented the tales in a variety of ways—delightful or dark, wistful or wicked, sweet or satirical—that forge new trails through the forests of fantastic fiction. This new anthology compiles some of the best modern fairy-tale retellings and reinventions from award-winning and bestselling authors, acclaimed storytellers, and exciting new talents, into an enchanting collection. Explore magical new realms by traveling with us, Beyond the Woods . . .

This collection of short stories (and a smattering of poems) is intended for immature audiences only. There are curse words here, and adult themes mixed in with the fairy tales and literary noodlings. I suppose I could try to explain this collection, tease some of the stories. Like the one about the bumblebee who lived in the time of King Solomon (before scientists had worked out how bumblebee aerodynamics worked), or the trucker's age-old yearning for the open road. There's even a story in here about Susan, of Narnia fame, that has a dragon in it, not to mention the other story with a dragon that also features a mouse, or the poem about a dragon that was born on Christmas morning.
