Sacrificial Oath by Terri Rochenski
An impetuous act unwittingly makes Alesuela the fulfillment of the
Sovereign’s Blood Oath to their Goddess. In five days, she’ll be forced
to make the greatest choice of her life: become the virginal sacrifice
already promised, or force the man she loves most to die in her place.
With an impossible choice in front of her, she searches for ways to
undo the oath, and in her quest, finds not everything in her life is as
she expects.
The Amulet of Ormisez by J. Keller Ford
There is only one way to save Elton Fletcher’s brother from an insanity-ridden death.
After years away from home, fighting for his people, Elton returns to
discover his only sibling, Cayden, possessed by greed and malice, and
responsible for malicious, unthinkable deeds. Cayden, though, isn’t the
only one afflicted by the Amulet of Ormisez, and Elton finds himself in
yet another battle, where the price of failure could be his own life.
Birthright by Lynda R. Young
Christa can mask the pain and hide the scars, but running from a birthright is impossible.
She’s tried to escape her grief by fleeing to a small town in Florida.
Much to her frustration, the locals think they recognize her even
though she's never been there before. To make things worse, a man named
Jack spouts outrageous theories about her.
Both spur Christa to bolt, to start fresh yet again, but there’s
something about Jack that intrigues her enough to stay. The only
problem? Someone else wants her to leave, and they won’t stop until
she’s dead.
Petrified by Kelly Said
A mysterious storm has replaced summer with winter, devastating crops
and smothering Castle lands in snow. Prince Sterling August stands
alone as a leader, lost in personal grief as well as a desire to help
his people but with an inability to do either.
The answers he needs await him, but without Lochlyn, a woman who’s
just as isolated as Sterling, he’ll never see what stands before him,
cloaked in illusion.
Last Winter Red by Jennifer M. Eaton
Emily is a Red, a woman whose sole purpose in life is to produce
offspring. When her husband dies and leaves her childless, she risks her
life and forsakes the safety of Terra—a disease-free city born after
the nuclear holocaust. Beyond its boundaries, she knows, survives a man
with whom she can be properly paired.
The Outside, though, holds secrets the government struggles to keep,
and what Emily discovers on her quest for a mate will change her life
forever.
Escort to Insanity by J.A. Belfield
From a charity auction, to a stroll in the park, to the craziest night
of her life. Nicole Harrington can’t help but wonder how a simple event
went so drastically wrong.
Of course, the male escort she booked is wholly to blame. Not only
charming but shrewdly intelligent, Benjamin Gold drags Nicole into a
platoon of unimaginable problems—ones from which she’ll have to find the
courage just to survive.
I have to admit, I haven't been a fan of Anthologies in the past... but after reading the 'right' ones, they are certainly growing on me!
