OVER THE MOON Anthology starts with Angela Knight’s MOON DANCE. Elena Livingston is in deep trouble. Her Alpha father is demanding that she marry Stephen Bradford, a Chosen Alpha werewolf who has a mean streak. Elena has refused to marry him, so she seeks protection from a “bitten” werewolf who just happens to be a cop with a tough attitude and little patience for abusive men. Lucas Rollings knows he is in deep trouble when he finds Elena struggling with Stephen and all his protective instincts flair to life. But, there are two little hitches: first he has to duel Stephen who has dueled and never lost, and second he has to impregnate Elena!

Then comes Virginia Kantra’s story BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOON. Caitlin MacLean has plans to complete the Appalachian Trail after her graduation, but so far her plans have already gone awry. Her friend had to leave the trail due to an injury and her fellow hiker is only interested in getting into her sleeping bag. Things get worse and she finds herself lost in the woods only to be “rescued” by Rhys. Rhys has been charged by the Queen of the sidhe to take Cait’s soul as payment for her parent’s debt. Many years have passed since Cait’s parents defeated the Queen and now she is seeking revenge against their daughter. What will Rhys do after he experiences Cait’s honesty and kindness? Will he be able to sacrifice her?

Mary Janice Davidson follows up with DRIFTWOOD in which Burke Wolftauer is considered a rogue werewolf. After all, he has yet to settle down and produce cubs. He lives alone and rarely spends time with his pack. Serena Crull is a vampire who has come to town looking for her sire in order to settle an old debt. Burke sees Serena and knows she is his mate, even if she is dead. He knows that he must help her, if only she will let him.

Last in this anthology is Sunny with MONA LISA THREE. Mona Lisa is a Monere Queen who has the gift of healing. She has been ordered by her mother to heal one of her personal servants or give up one of her own family. Mona Lisa has no love for her mother, who is also a Monere Queen. She knows that Mona Serena hates her as well. The only problem is that Beldar has been bitten by a hellhound for which there is no known cure. Mona Lisa will have to put aside her own fears and pray that she can heal Beldar. And, if she can heal Beldar, will she be able to return him back into the cruel hands of Mona Serena?

The OVER THE MOON Anthology has something for all paranormal fans. From vampires and werewolves to the sidhe and moon people. Whatever your personal taste in paranormal, this anthology will be capable of wetting all appetites.
