Mystic
Desire is a collection of short paranormal romance stories. This is a
chance to read and discover the work of a diverse group of very
talented authors.
The
themes in this book are varied, as are the collection of characters
and artifacts, including Native American dream catchers, mystical
jewelry, and characters such as lustful vampires, hot warlocks, a
grumpy leprechaun, a ghostly terrier, a zombie apocalypse and things
that go bump in the night.
From
soft and tender love to hot passionate, kinky sex, there is something
for everyone in this anthology.
Unconditional
Lust – Breanna Hayse
The
massive, hideous merrow leader, Muruch, craves the taste of human
flesh. Confined to the ocean, he feeds his horde with sailors from
ships pulled into the maw of the Bermuda Triangle. When US Army
Captain, Nurys Shaye, puts her life on the line to save him after
being captured, his hunger for human flesh is shadowed by the desire
for her body and her love. Will she be able to see past his
appearance and trust him to break down her walls and teach her to
feel?
The
Sweetest Magic of All – Alice Renaud
When
a sexy apprentice witch and a hot warlock go back in time to locate a

the Wolf – Zia Westfield
The
Witch, Alice Humphreys has poured her heart and soul into creating a

mate in his dreams. But is the illusion real? Alice knows that there
is something all too predatory about the Scotsman and he makes her
body tingle in places it shouldn’t!
An
Awareness of Evil – Dee S. Knight
Only
two things stand between evil and a small girl: the visions of Amanda
McMasters and Detective Brendan Gilchrist. Neither can afford to be
wrong.
Love
that Binds – Carol Schoenig
On
the outskirts of a small town where nothing grows, a young girl,
Ianthee, is being bullied and accused of being a witch. Young Caleb,
inexplicably drawn to Ianthee, comes to her rescue. Before they can
explore their feelings, Caleb and his family disappear. What happened
to him, and what part does a long-ago legend play in their lives?
Dream
Catcher – Callie Carmen
Long
ago, a medicine man had made a matched set of dream catchers as a
wedding gift to protect the Chief’s daughter and her warrior
husband. He had called upon the benevolent spirits to keep the two
soul mates safe and in a loving, healthy marriage. It was foretold
that if the two dream catchers were ever divided the new owners would
be drawn together as soul mates. Was that possible?
Life
Saving – Anne Krist
Saving
lives isn't just for adults. Sometimes the innocent magic of a child
can do the job better.
The
Mortal Vampire – Suzanne Smith
Remy
enjoys life as a vampire, never giving a thought to sucking every
last drop of tasty blood out of his unfortunate victims and leaving
them doornail dead. But his cold and carefree existence changes the
day he crosses paths with the beautiful and mysterious mortal Angela.
Love
from the Mist – Patricia Elliott
When
Jace Warden learns that his brother plans to announce his engagement
at a family get together, he flees to the other side of the world to
escape the joyous celebration.
Or
at least attempts to… His plane never makes it, and he winds up
trapped on an island. Little does he realize, he’s not alone;
there’s a mischievous little entity milling about, and she wants to
play.
Love’s
Ghost – R.M. Olivia
“Sorry,
babe. I know it hurts to hear.” John frowned. I’ll make this
brief. I spoke to the man in charge, and he is giving me one last
chance.”
“Come
again?”
“I’m
allowed to make love to my wife one last time before I have to cross
over. So, are you ready for your husband? Are you ready for me,
Ingrid?” He lifted my chin up and ran his thumb along my lips. I
felt a chill go down my spine. How could this be real? How could this
be happening?
Love
Knows No Apocalypse – Patricia Elliott
Getting
stranded in the middle of a storm was not Samantha Wheeler’s idea
of an ideal situation, especially in the middle of a zombie
apocalypse. But fighting zombies was the easy part; her heart,
though, was a whole other matter. Thanks to a man named Steve Jones.
When
they find themselves in danger, she has to decide what’s more
important - dying for someone you love or surviving.
Calling
All Angels – Lora Logan

Through
the Veil – Jan Selbourne
A
beautiful March day in 1875 ends in tragedy when the wagon carrying
Helen and Marcus plunges down the mountainside. Generations pass
before Rachel Finlay finds an old sepia photo of a man and woman. She

she desperately craves, she goes back to where it began. In time,
through the veil, knowing she may never return.
