Blurb:
In an odd Wiccan shop in Salem, Jael pulls an unusual stone from a
witch’s wish bag. Little does she know her wildest dreams of adventure and a
torrid affair with two gorgeous co-workers are about to come true—in spades.
Jael’s dreamy boss, Roarke offers her the assignment of a lifetime:
a photo safari to Mount Kilimanjaro. The African scenery is stunning but the
unexpected arrival of her two office crushes, Roarke and Kypton ignites her
passion. Just as the trio is getting steamy at a beautiful waterfall, danger
intervenes forcing the men to reveal their secret. They're dragons. And now, to
save her life, they have no choice but to abduct a startled Jael to their
mountain lair on Kilimanjaro.
In the dragons' love nest, Jael learns the truth about their origins
and explores all the erotic possibilities two eager lovers can offer. Love
awakens, but the guys are being stalked by a covert group of dragon hunters and
withholding a life or death secret that will push Jael’s courageous heart and
commitment to the limits.
Warning: Story contains
gorgeous male shape shifters eager to mate, lots of hot male action between two
loving men, scorching ménage with one lucky woman, anal play for all, and
polyandry with a happy ending. What more do you want?
Excerpt:
(In this excerpt Jael has just pulled a
stone from the wish bag in an odd Salem Wiccan shop.)
“Oh,
Jael, that is an odd-looking stone.” Arcona reached for Jael’s hand to tip the
sparkling stone toward the light. “It’s beautiful when things you’d never think
would fuse together mix.” She stared at the stone in wonder. “The world is full
of weird stuff, isn’t it?”
Jael
looked from the two-sided stone to her friend. “It is different.” She glanced
at Witch Casey to see if she had any advice as to why she’d chosen such a
stone.
“Interesting,
but not surprising.” Witch Casey shook her head with her lips firmly pinched
together.
Jael
couldn’t read the woman’s eccentric gesture.
“A
dual stone is often attracted to an undecided person,” Witch Casey spoke
tersely.
“Undecided?”
Jael stiffened and crossed her arms in a defensive manner. She’d been often
accused of being indecisive in the past, and it hurt. Obviously Witch Casey had
been eavesdropping. “Are you referring to me?”
“Of
course I’m referring to you.” Witch Casey planted her fist firmly on her hip as
she confronted Jael. “You’re the one holding the dual stone, not me.”
“What
do you mean by undecided?” Jael knew where this was going. Witch Casey would
now deliver a trite and highly predictable forecast about her future love life.
She braced for the safe little clichés she knew were headed her way.
Witch
Casey arced her hands dramatically through the air. “Your heart is always in
two places at once and refuses to choose a lasting home. Am I right?”
Jael
slightly recoiled. Witch Casey was right. The way the woman spoke with utter
authority sent a shiver up her spine.
All
her life she’d rushed toward one goal when secretly desiring another. She
longed for a stable relationship, even a family, but another rogue part of her
soul wanted to ditch her responsibilities, pick up a camera, and flee to the
exotic wilds of Africa to fulfill her creative dreams. The same went for men.
She could never make up her mind. Variety was the spice of life.
“There
might be some truth in what you’re saying,” Jael sheepishly answered Witch
Casey.
Witch
Casey’s eyes flashed. “Might?”
Arcona
leaned close to Jael’s ear. “I remember our last semester. You were always
dating at least two guys at once and trying to keep it a secret. It never
stayed secret.”
Jael
silently admitted her love life was a disaster of indecision. She’d never met a
man who fulfilled all her needs. Okay, maybe one man—Roarke, the gorgeous guy
at her office, was a thrilling date for a friends-with-benefits type of
evening, but a more solid relationship never quite gelled. Deep down she knew
why.
They
were two of a kind. Roarke was almost as undecided and commitment shy as she
was. He would pant after her with lustful looks, coax and almost beg her to
visit his apartment. When she gave in, the sex was always hot. Roarke was a
total turn-on. Her hopes would rise that maybe Roarke was the one, and then
nothing would happen for weeks at a time. No pursuit, no invitations back to
his bed. It was as if Roarke would deny himself her company until he couldn’t
stand it a moment longer; then he would call.

About Amber Skyze:
From a very young age, Amber Skyze began
making up stories–the only child syndrome. Telling tall tales to all her
friends she never dreamed of putting words on paper. In fact if anyone asked
her if she would write when she grew up, she’d have laughed.
It wasn’t until raising children and
reading all those romances that she decided–hey, I can write these. HA! Easier
said than done.
When not crafting hot, steamy tales, this
New York transplant now resides in Rhode Island with her husband, four children
(who force her to work a day job), and three dogs.
She currently writes for Ellora’s Cave,
Loose Id and is self-published.
