Embroidered Fantasies

Доктор Огюстина Митчелл сделала карьеру, изучая неведомую пропавшую цивилизацию. Своим успехом она во многом обязана Оливии Файфилд, коллеге по исследованиям и подруге, которая четыре года назад загадочным образом исчезла, оставив ей несколько заметок, неясное по смыслу письмо и серебряное с аметистами ожерелье. Необходимость принятия решения и восхитительные сновидения наполняют томительным мучением часы её бодрствования и сна. На распутье своей жизни Огюстина отправляется в археологическую экспедицию. С обнаружения загадочного помещения начинается цепь событий, в результате которых она попадает в мир T’ар Таль и в объятья двух сексуальных мужчин — Рорика и Кирса.

Огюстина была потрясена, когда внезапно оказалось, что мужчины из ее снов — реальны. Невозможно отрицать сексуального притяжения, которое вспыхнуло между ней и двумя её любовниками, однако существуют и проблемы, казалось бы, непреодолимые. Предназначения всех троих переплелись, но только Огюстина может решить их судьбу.

Истина может освободить её… или убить. День Александры Райли начинался как самый обычный в её монотонной, однообразной жизни. Но высокий темноволосый незнакомец разрушил эту хрупкую иллюзию. Затащив её в гараж, он рассказывает ей всю правду про её отца. Оказывается, она дочь легендарного оборотня, метис человека и зверя. Лакомый кусочек для других оборотней. Джошуа Страйкер, ответственный за защиту вожаков Волчьей Бухты, должен отвезти Алекс в её настоящий дом. Но с самой первой их встречи, с самого первого взгляда… Он понимает, что не сможет отдать её никому. Она — его слабость, от которой он пытается отказаться, но не может. Только уберечь её не так просто. По городским улицам к горам Северной Каролины Алекс и Джошуа убегают от тех, кто против их любви, слияния ДНК простого человека с кровью высшего оборотня и от наёмников, считающих, что оборотень может существовать на земле лишь как мертвец. Алекс и Джошуа не могут убежать от страсти, охватившей их, и от выбора, с которым под конец предстоит столкнуться Алекс — выпустить свою сущность оборотня наружу или остаться с Джошуа как человек…
