"A Magical Anthology"
ONCE UPON A KISS is an anthology featuring new
stories by Nora Roberts, Jill Gregory, Ruth Ryan Langan and
Marianne Willman. Each story focuses on an important kiss. In A World Apart by Nora Roberts, Kadra is a
slayer of demons in an alternate universe. She follows the
King of Demons through a portal to Manhattan, a place
utterly alien to Kadra. Here she meets Harper Doyle, a
warrior foretold to her by a sorceress. She must convince
Harper to believe her strange tale of Demons and their kiss
that changes humans into demon monsters who feed on human
flesh. But Harper has a kiss of a different nature that
may change Kadra forever. Jill Gregory's Impossible is the tale of two
unlikely lovers, whose families have been fighting each
other for over one hundred years. Now, no one even
remembers why the fighting between the two kingdoms began.
Tynon, Duke of Bordmoor, kidnaps the renowned witch Erinn,
princess of the Royal House of Marlbury, and takes her to
his keep. He is certain that Erinn placed the spell on his
home that has locked it in another plane of existence. In Sealed With A Kiss by Ruth Ryan Langan,
Arianna Douglas is to be married to Duncan MacLean, whose
highlanders have helped protect her family from foreign
invaders. But Duncan is an old man, and Arianna plans to
find a way out of the marriage. She is escorted to the
MacLean keep by Lachlan MacLean, the laird's nephew.
Arianna is sure that the tall, handsome Lachlan will fit
into her plan to avoid marriage...a plan that will begin with
a kiss. Chicago book editor Kate Singleton inherits the
English estate of Agatha Culpepper, in Kiss Me Kate by
Marianne Willman. The problem is she has no idea who
Agatha Culpepper is or why she should have inherited her
manor. But since she has just lost her job with Hartland
Press, she goes to England. She meets Michael Bellamy, her
new neighbor, who has a strong interest in Kate's new
home. But Kate's magical manor, Frogsmere, is everything
that she could ask for, complete with an ungraceful frog
whose cry sounds like "kizzme"... ONCE UPON A KISS is a delightful collection of very
imaginative and romantic stories. It is a must for anyone
who likes a touch of magic on their bookshelf.
