Once upon a time, many years ago, following an unusual act
of kindness by a demon high lord, the small town of
Mysteria was created in a lovely valley in the Rocky
Mountains not far from Denver. Instead of destroying the
traveling group of rag-tag magical outcasts and misfits
(and one confused human), the demon provided a mystical
haven that soon became a refuge for all types of creatures
not accepted by society. Here are just four stories of some
of those current inhabitants.
MORTAL IN MYSTERIA by Susan Grant -- With no one
attending church services, Harmony Faithfull, the new
minister in town, prays for a sign that she's chosen the
right path. She certainly never expected the answer to be
in the form of a gorgeous naked man in her garden. Kicked
out by the Devil for his random acts of kindness, this
demon high lord has been banished to the scene of his first
transgression --Mysteria -- and made mortal. But this doesn't
seem such a bad fate when he meets Harmony and gets to know
her and the rest of the town.
ALONE WOLF by MaryJanice Davidson -- Not knowing why,
werewolf Cole Jones has followed his nose to a lovely
little haunted house just outside Mysteria. He loves the
peace and quiet and the welcoming smells, even though the
resident ghost can be a pest. Then he meets Charlene
Houtenan, the juicy realtor handling the sale of the house,
and he knows why he's come here. After so many years of not
fitting into society, he's found his place. But Charlene
isn't quite what she appears to be, and she has an ulterior
motive in seducing Cole, which doesn't prove that hard to
accomplish.
THE WITCHES OF MYSTERIA & THE DEAD WHO LOVE THEM by Gena
Showalter -- For several years, witch Genevieve Tawdry
has had a bad case of hot lust for Hunter Knight, but just
when she thinks she has him, he rebuffs her. This
unrequited love has Genevieve trying everything she can to
lure him in, but Hunter is a psychic and knows that
declaring his love for this witch will be the death of him,
literally. When he can no longer refuse and finally
succumbs to Genevieve's advances, Hunter pays the ultimate
price. But will the results really be as bad as he thinks?
CANDY COX & THE BIG BAD (WERE)WOLF by P. C. Cast --
After several failed marriages, schoolteacher Candice Cox
has sworn off men and romance. Then one of her former
students -- a very hot and sexy werewolf named Justin Woods --
who's now an adult, re-enters her life and makes her
wonder if all she really needs is a younger man to make her
juices flow hot and heavy.
Advertised as Desperate Housewives meets
Charmed, this collection of novellas is as varied in
its content as the authors who've written them. From sweet
and passionate to dark and sexy, the werewolves, vampires,
demons, witches, fairies and humans of MYSTERIA are as
engaging and fun as they are diverse and compelling.
Hunky werewolves, delicious demons and, drop-dead sexy
witches all have the same address...
Hundreds of years ago, in the mountains of Colorado (just
close enough to Denver for great shoe shopping), the small
town of Mysteria was "accidentally" founded by a random
act of demonic kindness. Over time, it has become a
veritable magnet for the supernatural - a place where magic
has quietly coexisted with the mundane world.
It's a town like any other town, where the high school's
Fighting Fairies give fans something to cheer about, where
everyone knows your name - if not exactly what you are - at
the local bar, and where the wishing well actually lives
up to its name. Strange occurrences happen every day, but
now the ladies of Mysteria are about to unleash a tempest
of seduction that will have tongues wagging for centuries
to come...
