The Stories

Headless by Samantha Marshall

Cursed and headless ex-knight Devlin didn’t think his un-life could get any worse. With his honour in tatters, all he wants is a chance to break his curse… except the demon who can break said curse has better things to do with her time – like running from the Demon Hunters who followed him to town, destroying the life she’d eked out for herself. Forced to work together to survive, Devlin gets another chance to change her mind; all he has to do is turn up the charm, appeal to the sense of honour his sinfully delicious demonic companion doesn’t have, and hope she doesn’t mount his head on her wall as a trophy – or worse, his heart.

Soul Cursed by Leisl Leighton

A soul cursed, a love discovered, an evil unbound …

Immortal witch, Korinna Soteira, has spent 2000 years uselessly trying to save the souls lost when she didn’t stop Mt Vesuvius from erupting. Then the betraying cupid she once loved arrives with the very items she needs to complete her quest. The catch: she can have them only if she helps him wrest his mother’s stolen powers from an evil witch. All they have to do is travel through the Underworld on Halloween, vanquish the witch and get out before all hell, quite literally, breaks loose. No problems … if only the Fates didn’t have other plans.

Good Riddance by Marnie St Clair

Lone wolf Harlow Jackson is Owlscroft Coven’s demon hunter. Happiest working alone, Harlow resents her new partner – on-the-run wizard Aiden – but it’s not long before she has to admit Aiden is not only gifted at evicting demons, he looks incredible doing it.

Soon, Harlow finds herself having to choose between her coven and her new friends, between witch duty and wizard power, and between charting her own course and making room for love. And that’s before the most destructive demon known to witchkind arrives … just in time for Halloween.

Ancestors and Expectations by Hellucy Howe

What if the truth doesn’t set you free?

Seelie Lord DeMaksim Aphiski is his father’s perfect heir … until the day he breathes fire. Blue blazes, is the rumour of a Dracon in the family actually true? Needing answers, DeMaksim pursues reports of a draconian family connection into the threatening Dark Reaches – where a crazed Unseelie monster binds him to a soul-sucking Undine. Stuck in an awkward partnership with enemies close behind and an uncertain future ahead, freedom becomes DeMaksim’s top priority … except his reluctant companion smells divine, and her smile rivals the sunrise. Maybe a little soul sucking wouldn’t be so bad, after all?

Hellucy Howe

Hellucy Howe is a bookworm who teethed on romantic fairy tales and went on to voraciously devour anything paranormal. She became a Professional Reader and a Closet Scribbler because who’d want to look at the mad ramblings of someone who hates getting dirt under her fingernails and thinks ironing was invented as a torture method?

Nowadays, Hellucy loves inventing paranormal and fantasy romance from the comfort of her cosy study, with a hot cup of tea beside her laptop and her little spaniel, Lexie, snoring at her feet. With her anthology contribution of Filigree and Fate, Hellucy has been dragged kicking and screaming from her closet and into the deer-in-headlights world of being a Real Author.
