SummaryKatherine Kingston, "Walpurgis Night"- England, 950 C.E.:
On the night of the Equinox, all eligible adults must
choose a partner to celebrate the night. Lovely, part-fey
Fianna is both desired and feared. On the equinox, prudence
dictates Fianna choose one of the young men who've been
stalking her for an Equinox companion. But impulse guides
her otherwise...
Henrik, an outsider like Fianna herself, a Norseman from a
nearby town, finds Fianna's proposition and Fianna herself
intriguing. But Henrik warns she may not find his unusual
desires to her liking. Their passion is hotter than the
Equinox bonfires. Their connection is foreseen true. But
time and circumstance are against them...will what they have
be enough, come Walpurgis Night?
Vonna Harper, "Night of Fire" - The virgin known as Maia
steps from her time into the present to find Taurus, the
man destined to protect her people from cruel invaders. But
although he's blown away by the uninhibited young woman who
throws herself at him during the excuse for seduction and
merrymaking known as Beltane, Taron is very much a man of
today with a business to save. A little roll in the hay is
as far as it goes--or is it? One moment he's in his world,
the next he's jumped through fire with Maia and into the
past.
If Maia and Taurus don't mate on the night of Bel-fire,
ancient beliefs and tradition will be lost. But their
mating goes far beyond hot, naked sex. Beneath great
spiritual fires, they begin a journey that will jeopardize
their very lives.
Annie Windsor, "Handle with Care" - The women of Earth have
a major problem: a genetic virus has all but eliminated
men. Tia Belmont, director of Project SEARCH, spends late
nights in her laboratory combing satellite grids for signs
of intelligent response. As Eostre approaches, Earth's
women practice the ways of the ancient Goddess, adding
magic to the hard science of saving their world. But Tia
Belmont doesn't believe in magic. Not until an artifact
from her foremothers, an ancient ceremonial dagger, finds
its way to her desk drawer. And not until that dagger helps
Brok of Kaerad, First Priest of the People, answer SEARCH's
long-ranging signal...in person.
As Tia studies the blue-eyed hunk of muscle leaning
casually against a laboratory computer console, she knows
one thing for sure. Her life-and Earth-will never be the
same.
