She is nothing more to him than a means to obtain children. When she is released from the stasis she voluntarily entered, the world that greets Emily Harding is far from what she expected. It more closely resembles a post-apocalyptic novel than the rolling green Tennessee hills she’s left behind. Worse than that, it seems that the rule of law is a thing of the past, and that society has devolved into what it was thousands of years ago – feudal tribes warring with each other over precious and rare supplies, which includes females. One type of female in particular. It is raw, unforgiving, and animalistic. Much like the behavior of the man who takes her captive and holds her there, forcing her to learn that even she is not unaffected by the changes that have been wrought on the world, proving to her time and time again that she is nothing more to him than a means to obtain children. And making her scream in agonizing pleasure as he does so. Publisher’s Note: The Alpha's Woman is a dark tale with some explicit themes.
Red's Mate
Ciaran had a mission of his own: an Omega on which to breed sons. It was in a very tiny village that the Omega Ebby had grown up, surrounded by women who knew what she would become, as well as a few men to whom she was unattractive, all of whom participated in training her to defend herself. They had also all vowed to protect her with their lives. And in the end, because of him, that was exactly what they had done. Ciaran, an Alpha born in one of those more successful city-states, had risen through the ranks of what passed for the Army to command a battalion that combed the wasteland; defeating enemies, making the occasional ally. Their military mission was to collect whatever might benefit them immediately – or the base, when they returned. But he was conducting a mission of his own for that which he had wanted all his life: an Omega on which to breed sons. They had received intelligence that there was something very valuable hidden in a village not far away. And there was. Ebby. Publisher's Note: This steamy, post-apocalyptic romance contains power exchange scenes.

Welcome to Central Australia!<br /> <br /><i>This is surely one of Upfield's strongest books.

Worshipping Small Gods
Worshipping Small Gods is the follow-up to Richard Parks' World Fantasy Award finalist debut collection, The Ogre's Wife – containing fourteen stories, three of which are original to this volume, and all created with the same philosophy- follow where the story leads, and face whatever comes. These destinations range from comic zen parables as in the title story, «Worshiping Small Gods,» to the darkest depths of the human heart as in «Voices in an Empty Room.» Whether dark fantasy, comedy, near future sf or wry contemporary fantasy, these stories all share that same insight and honesty…

When she learns that a horse has been attacked on a bridge the same night, Lexy can't help but think of Tam O'Shanter and Robert Burns. With the police dismissing the notion, and fresh from solving her first murder – not to mention the fact that the clues point to Scots and she's the only one in town – Lexy decides to investigate. Joined, once again, by the rag-tag crew from the Last Ditch Motel, Lexy is soon neck-deep in cutty sarks and tartan, but it seems the roots of this California murder lie much closer to her new home.
