SECRETS VOLUME 14 e-Book Copyright © Angela Knight, Alexa Aames, Jennifer Barlowe, Leigh Wynfield, 2005 All Rights Reserved, Red Sage Publishing, Inc. Listen to what reviewers have to say “Secrets Volume 14 will excite readers with its diverse selection of delectable sexy tales ranging from a fourteenth century love story to a sci-fi rebel who falls for a irresistible research scientist to a trio of determined vampires who battle for the same woman to a virgin sacrifice who falls in love with a beast. A cornucopia of pure delight!” 4½ Stars —Romantic Times BOOKclub “Explodes with dark and delicious paranormal passions!” —Virginia Henley, New York Times Best Selling Author “This book contains four erotic tales sure to keep readers up long into the night.” —Romance Junkies AILIS AND THE BEAST BY JENNIFER BARLOWE When Ailis agreed to be her village’s sacrifice to the mysterious Beast she was prepared to sacrifice her virtue, and possibly her life. But some things aren’t what they seem. Ailis and the Beast are about to discover the greatest sacrifice may be the human heart. Another new author makes a great debut in Volume 14! “Ailis and the Beast is a new twist on the traditional Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. Ailis is a very special woman who tries to see past the rough exterior to the man within. The Beast is the tortured soul who has to suffer this horrible existence alone, but may find love in an unlikely ally. Jennifer Barlow has done a fantastic job retelling this fairy tale with her own twist.” —Romance Junkies “Ailis willingly becomes the village's sacrifice to the mysterious Beast that represents the harvest. But she finds the experience much better than expected and the three nights they spend together turn into moments of love. Then, she finds out how it must end!” —Romance Reviews TO MY READER Ailis and the Beast is a story about sex and appetite, and about how what we think we know is often just the beginning. I hope you enjoy it. Bon appetit. EXCERPT FROM AILIS AND THE BEAST Standing in front of him, Ailis felt full of anticipation in a way she’d never imagined. He lifted her wet hair so that it fell on top of the cloak of leaves. He was much taller than she, the top of her head only barely coming to his chin. He lowered his face to just over her hair and breathed in, his breath stirring the strands at the top of her scalp. He drank in the smell of her, then stepped around her so that he stood at her back, his hands lightly on either of her shoulders. He spoke near her right ear. “What do you see?” he asked. She looked at the cave wall in front of her. Wavering line drawings of men fled from a dark, threatening smear that reached for them with spiky hands. In the next scene, one of the man-drawings approached the dark thing with a torch held aloft. The image after that showed the man still with his torch, but the darkness had been transformed into a glowing orb with rays like the sun reaching all around. As she turned her head, looked above, below, and around the cavern, she saw the same scene acted out again and again in different styles. In some of the images, it was clearly a woman who carried the torch. In others she could see embraces between a woman and a Beast, or a woman and a man. She saw the seasons turn in the drawings, saw fallow fields grow fertile, and again and again, darkness transformed. “I see us,” she said. “Everywhere.” She was so warm she was beginning to sweat. As though he’d read her thoughts, the cloak dropped away from her shoulders, leaving her bare. Even with the garment gone, his own warmth still blazed behind her like the sun on the wall in front of her. His sex nudged against her buttocks, and his chest pressed against her back as he stepped closer to her.”  When Rip Bowhite leads a revolt on the prison planet, he ends up struggling to survive against monsters that rule the night. Jemma, the prison’s Healer, won’t allow herself to be distracted by the instant attraction she feels for Rip. As the stakes are raised and death draws near, love seems doomed in the heat of the night. Leigh Wyndfield thrills them again in Volume 14 “Night Heat is action and adventure along with a blast back to the prehistoric past. The story has everything, romance, passion, action, adventure and ravenous raptors waiting to kill the people trapped on their planet. Rip is sexy and with an alpha attitude, while Jemma is his perfect match. The love scenes are passionate with a certain desperation that will have readers turning the pages to see what happens next. Leigh Wyndfield has penned a story that will take readers back in time and keep them on the edge of their seats.” —Romance Junkies “There is a prison revolt on the prison planet called Velopit and the prisoners are deserted by the Inter-world Council who rule the place, leaving the prisoners able to come and go as they please in the daytime hours. But also marooned on this planet is the administrative personnel who stay in their own separate quarters. No one dare venture out at night as that is the time that the night monsters attack and kill. But a deadly virus hits the prison and the healer is sent for—and the prisoner’s leader, Rip, meets the healer, Jemma.” —Romance Reviews TO MY READER In the heat of the night on an abandoned prison planet, monsters circle the camp, searching for a way inside. Only one man and his ragtag band of prisoners keep the compound secure. But when illness breaks out, he must find a Healer to save them all. Love and desire rule the daylight, while fear and terror rule the night. Hold on to your hats, dear readers, and let’s go for a ride! EXCERPT FROM NIGHT HEAT Rip’s gaze drifted to the Healer’s honey-blond hair, which was swept up into a messy ponytail. Loose pieces framed a strong face with sumptuous lips and deep blue-green eyes. Not beautiful, but pretty enough to be a problem. Like himself, the men and women who followed him had committed crimes against the Inter-world Council, civil disobedience such as writing opposition literature and protesting policy too vigorously for the Council’s taste, but life in prison had turned them hard. Since the planet had been abandoned, they’d been reduced to doing anything they could to stay alive. Even he had killed and would, he suspected, kill again -- a far cry from organizing the protest rallies that had put him here. And while there were women enough to go around now that half his men were sick, the Healer was tasty enough to draw attention. His request for her help put her under his personal protection. The thought pleased him on some level, and he allowed his body to move half a step closer to hers. When she glided away, he caught her arm. Her gaze jerked to his and he felt again the surprisingly strong attraction between them he’d noticed outside the tunnels where the few remaining administration personnel had barricaded themselves. He’d never even seen her before today, so how could he feel this way? He’d gone without a woman for two years now, and he was probably just feeling the effects of it. He should take someone to bed. Soon. Maybe the Healer. He brushed her lips with his gaze, watching the flare of surprise cruise through her eyes. Something told him she would be different from the others he’d bedded. Soft, sexy, passionate. Right. He yanked his thoughts out of his pants. His men needed him now. “Stay close to me, or I won’t be able to protect you.” He held her with the intense stare he sometimes used with his men. The one that said don’t-screw-with-me. She raised an eyebrow, but nodded. Not backing down. TEMPTATION IN TIME BY ALEXA AAMES Ariana escaped the Middle Ages after stealing a kiss of magic from sexy sorcerer, Marcus de Grey. When he brings her back, they begin a battle of wills and a sexual odyssey that could spell disaster for them both. A great opening story for Volume 14! “Temptation in Time is wonderful roam through time and one woman’s fight for independence. Marcus is a sensual sorcerer who is out for revenge, but may find something more in the process. The love scenes are steamy and the chemistry is non-stop. Alexa Aames has done an excellent job of weaving a magical tale reader's won’t soon forget.” —Romance Junkies “Ariana is brought back in time by the sexy sorcerer, Marcus de Grey. She has been in modern times many years now and never wished to return to the Middle Ages again. But he intends to keep her with him now that he has found her again.” —Romance Reviews TO MY READER As a great fan of magic, history, and sensual romance, I loved writing this story, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it. EXCERPT FROM TEMPTATION IN TIME SOUL KISSES BY ANGELA KNIGHT Beth’s been kidnapped by Joaquin Ramirez, a sadistic vampire. Handsome vampire cousins, Morgan and Garret Axton, come to her rescue. Can she find happiness with two vampires? Angela Knight is back in Volume 14!! “Soul Kisses is an awesome vampire tale that introduces us to two very sensual brothers. Morgan and Garret are sexy and absolutely incredible, they set out to keep Beth save and will do it at all costs. Beth is the very lucky woman who has two men ready to attend her every need and desire. Angela Knight is known for her vampire tales of adventure and passion and Soul Kisses is another keeper.” —Romance Junkies “This story is about vampires and a love story involving two males and one female—all in deadly danger from one very bad vampire. The two main characters from Knight’s former story, The Forever Kiss are a part of this story also.” —Romance Reviews TO MY READER I’ve always intended to do a story for Beth Chase, Val’s little sister from The Forever Kiss. But it was obvious to me that Beth couldn’t have just any vampire hero—he had to be something special. In fact, an earlier attempt to write Beth’s story fizzled altogether because it wasn’t right. This one is, mostly because I gave Beth not one hero, but two. I’ve always wondered if it would be possible to get two alpha males to share the same woman, and I finally figured out a way. I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!. EXCERT FROM SOUL KISSES ___________________________________________________________ RED SAGE PUBLISHING, INC. © 2005 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
