Sapphires & Souls

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 14:21:01 +0200

Most part-demons in the Demon Underground have awesome powers, like the ability to walk through others' dreams, predict the future, or phase through matter. Me? I talk to rocks. Yeah, they try to make it sound cool by calling me the stone whisperer, but honestly? Talking to self-centered, annoying gemstones doesn't exactly set the world on fire (that would take a fire demon).
So when a seer makes a vague prophecy that says I am the only one who can save "Selene's son" and prevent widespread bloodshed in Colorado Springs, I'm a bit skeptical. However, since the seer has a hundred percent accuracy rate—and I really want to find some way to be useful to the underground—I reluctantly head to Colorado to check it out.
With the help of my hellhound, a water demon, a vampire, and a wickedly powerful opal, can I can unravel this puzzle before disaster occurs?
Crap. Talk about impossible....
Sapphires & Souls is a 35,000 word urban fantasy novella, first in...

He Was No Mere Mortal

The handsome hunk that stood before P.J. Sheridan expected her to believe he was a leprechaun? She had one word for him: blarney! Only Connor O'Flaherty wove a magical spell about P.J. that stirred her deepest desires.

The skeptic in her wiped the stardust from her eyes -- and P.J. was convinced this man was nothing but a con artist. Deep down, though, the woman in her desperately wanted to believe Connor's powers were as potent -- and as real -- as his kisses. Yet no matter who -- or what -- he really was, common sense said the man was trouble.Inside excerpt:"I never gave up hope of finding real magic."She risked a glance at Connor to see how he was taking her revelations. Would he be incredulous, condescending, amused?No, he wore a look of tender understanding that made her heart turn over in her breast.He took her face in his hands and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “I'll help you, lass,” he promised. “I'll help you find your magic.”Mesmerized by the sincerity and intensity of his declaration, PJ leaned toward him and tilted her face up in wonder. “You will?” she breathed.“Yes, I will,” he affirmed, and bent to kiss the lips she so trustingly offered him.

Mesmerist by Pam McCutcheon "An antique hope chest containing five unique objects . . . five people inexorably drawn to the items inside . . . each sent to the past where they must accomplish a task and find their own path to true love with the help of a magical matchmaker determined to bring soul mates together, even across time. On the eve of her wedding, dog trainer Gina Charles finds her fiancé in flagrante delicto with her maid of dishonor, so she flees to a hotel in a nearby town. Unfortunately, her room already has another occupant--a ghost with compelling dark eyes who cuddles up to her in the middle of the night. Gina reluctantly agrees to help the ghostly mesmerist, Drake Manton, learn how he died. When her investigation leads her to the burned-out Chesterfield hotel, Gina finds a hope chest in the ruins and is drawn to the melted dueling pistol inside. When she touches it, she and her faithful terrier hurtle back in time to 1883 where she comes face-to-face with the very alive, very sexy mesmerist. Now all Gina has to do is prevent Drake's fiery death so she can return to her own time. Or will she give up her life in the future for a lifetime of love in Drake's arms?
