"Lone Wolf Three" by Rae Monet. The Solarian send Lakota Blackson to Elnar to negotiate a peaceful solution to the wolf problem with former rebel leader Taban Zias. Neither expected the attraction between them at first sight; both know they should recuse themselves from the negotiations or the sex, but cannot.
"Flesh to Fantasy" by Larissa Ione. In Portland, Oregon Kelsa Bradshaw prefers the solitude of testing RPG video games ever since being friendly has led to males stalking her or her shoes. Thus she refuses to meet her new neighbor, paramedic Tent Jordan though she salivates over him. Trent wants to show her that reality is better than virtual with the right person.
"Heart Full of Stars" by Linda Gayle. In Earth Year 2118 singer Fanta Rae stops on Mars when her hopper breaks down. At a bar she meets Security Specialist Alex Decker, whose family died during the Aggression that eradicated much of humanity. He is her first human male she has seen after a near decade of imprisonment by the M'gambi who comes to retake their property. Decker risks his life to protect his beloved soulmate.
"The Wolf's Mate" by Cynthia Eden. Michael Morlet envies his pack leader Gareth who just met his soulmate as he craves to be doing likewise. A female shout for help takes him out of his revelry as she is the one. He rescues Kat Hardy from her assailant, but before he can make her his, he must protect her from a dangerous adversary who wants her dead.
Though Lone Wolf Three and The Wolf's Mate are set in the same environs of each author's previous works, each nicely stand alone so readers obtain four delightfully heated speculative fiction romances; two science fictions, one virtual reality and a fantasy. .
