Dasha Maurice isn't in the market for a serious relationship, much less one with one of the leather-wearing fairies residing at her best friend's beach motel. Sure, Ethan Gotch is built like a linebacker and tongue-numbingly sexy, but he's also a smidge intense and has a pesky ex who insists he's her fated mate. He's not. He's Dasha's. Being the only human in the fairy clique makes Dasha the perfect little soldier to play messenger in the fairy realm. She can't be detected by raging Queen Rhiannon's magic, and can help pull more oppressed Sídhe to freedom. The realm is collapsing and the people need a way out. When Ethan's ex pulls a stunt causing Dasha to get stuck in the realm, she starts to believe she was right keeping her distance from the fairy, but that's the least of her concerns. If Dasha can't accept what it means to be the mate of a shapeshifting fairy knight and work a little magic of her own, the two may never make it home alive.

Acting as an emissary for her pregnant cousin Tess, Nadia Hall's mission is to locate a missing member of her clan's royalty. She sets up a temporary base in Florida expecting Tess to send backup, but Nadia doesn't expect it to show up in the form of one of the two men she's been aggressively avoiding for months. And when man number two arrives out of the blue, her crippling anxiety about connecting to her fated makes the usually assertive woman run and hide. To complicate matters, her mates Thom Vaughn and Jeff Alstrup butt heads in a way only a sexually frustrated fairy and a fire-wielding modern Viking can manage. It seems the men don't have a problem sharing Nadia-the issue is the men don't know if they can share each other. If the powerful trio can't strike an accord, not only will Nadia's mission potentially get derailed, but the three will be unable to compensate for the changes in their magic that their union has sparked. With Nadia being psychically linked to the rest of the Afótama clan, she can't afford to lose control. None of them can.

All preschool teacher Gillian Wright wanted was to pick up a third job so she could buy her students Christmas gifts. She didn't think she'd be the one getting picked up instead. Her new boss, Nicholas Roth, is the big man in charge at Santa Incorporated-what Gillian thought was a seasonal staffing agency. But the sexy CEO has a holly jolly secret. He's an equal opportunity employer and most of his staff are elves. Santa has another secret. When he's not delivering toys for his charity, he's contending with political unease in the magic realm. To take his father's throne as king of the elves, he has to get married...and only magic-proof Gillian will do. Gillian agrees, thinking Nick will cut her loose after the busy Christmas rush, but he has other ideas. Nick wants a permanent Mrs. Roth and thinks he's found his true mate in Gillian. Too bad Gillian doesn't agree.

Growing up in the isolated community of Norseton, New Mexico, Erin Petersen always felt at odds with her peers. Although power and favor is flowing back to the Afótama clan from the old Viking gods, Erin hasn't been bestowed with any. She's still a weak psychic, and being a perpetual sore thumb has left her aimless. When the sexy as sin boy-next-door Will Valle returns to Norseton after more than a decade away, not only does he offer her the possibility of a exciting job in spite of her weak gifts, but a chance to explore the world outside of Norseton. In the midst of the sexual awakening her brooding geek ignites, Erin learns that her "weirdness" might exist for a more sinister reason. She's prepared to confront it with Will's help, but in doing so, the revelations they force to the surface might shake the Afótama to their core. Erin has always wanted to fit in, but now she might be the reason many in the clan are on the way out.

Although her sister has pulled up stakes and moved her family to the psychic community of Norseton, Marty Petersen doesn't believe she'll fit in with them. She belongs in familiar Florida, and not in the desert amidst a clan of thoroughly modern Vikings. Afótama clansman Chris Holst doesn't agree. He's been dreaming of Marty for nearly a year and knows she's meant to be his. He doesn't want her to leave Norseton before he's had his chance to bond with her in the way of their kind, but he understands why she'd be afraid. Her father is the clan's most notorious fraud, and the blowback from his imminent expulsion could upset the single mom's already shaky situation. He's willing to stand at her side and hold her hand until the turmoil subsides, but she has to let him into her life first. If Marty can't break free from the depressive grip of the lies that have suppressed her for so many years, she won't be able to take what's hers. She could wield the magic of the Afótama, and more importantly, she could claim the worthy man who is rightfully hers. _________ The Viking's Witch was first published in entirety in the Vikings Wild anthology. Also available in The Afótama Legacy: -The Viking Queen's Men -The Chieftain's Daughter -Viking's Pride (novella) -Viking Flame

If Saul Ade had known that stepping into his sister's life would make him a player in the goddess Allendra's unforgiving game, he would have never left the shadows. If he doesn't accept the mate she has chosen for him by the rise of the next blood moon, the Sídhe will become human. Unfortunately, the woman he must make his love is a mermaid who once tried to drown his sister's human best friend. If he'd wanted a mate at all, reckless Laurel O'Cuilinn wouldn't be it. Laurel's devastated to learn that Saul would rather cede Allendra's challenge than to be with her, but she's too practical to sulk. Four weeks isn't much time to make Saul cast aside his grudges, and she'll do what she must to help the Sídhe retain their magic-even if it means turning on some of the mermaid charm her fated mate finds so repugnant. Allendra's not the only one who can play games. But unlike the goddess, Laurel plans to play for love-not with it.
