Every dream job has a catch
Housekeeper Adeline Black’s new position seems too good to be true. Dusting a collection of peculiar relics? Too easy. Having a splendid house all to herself? Too lovely. Addy’s not about to question why she was told to never open the library door. Or why there’s a mysterious portrait of a medieval knight locked inside. But libraries need dusting, too. And what’s the harm in chatting with a knight over tea? It’s not as if he’s real. It’s not as if she’s falling in love.

Every portrait has a story
Sir Hugh Marshal is very real. Unfortunately, so is his curse. Trapped in an eternal prison, he’ll take whatever distraction he can get, even if she’s a bookish housekeeper with a stubborn streak and a vexing sense of whimsy. Even if he might be falling in love.

Every curse has a key
When Addy realizes Sir Hugh is more real than she imagined, she vows to help free him. But the curse will kill anyone who tries to break it—including the stubborn woman who’s captured his heart … the woman he must drive away before his curse becomes her downfall.

This story was originally published in the 2023 Dragonblade Anthology Once Upon a Haunted Romance.

Dying is what changed Mary O’Reilly’s life. Well, actually, coming back from the dead and having the ability to communicate with ghosts is really what did it. Now, a private investigator in rural Freeport, Illinois, Mary’s trying to learn how to incorporate her experience as a Chicago cop and new-found talent into a real job. Her challenge is to solve the mysteries, get real evidence (a ghost’s word just doesn’t hold up in court), and be sure the folks in town, especially the handsome new police chief, doesn’t think she’s nuts. Twenty-four years ago, a young woman drowned in the swimming pool of a newly elected State Senator. It was ruled an accident. But now, as the Senator prepares to move on to higher positions, the ghost of the woman is appearing to the Senator’s wife. Mary is hired to discover the truth behind the death. She unearths a connection between the murder and the disappearance of five little girls whose cases, twenty-four years later, are still all unsolved. As she digs further she becomes the next target for serial killers’ quest to tie up all his loose ends.

The jaguar believes in soul mates. The man’s not convinced. Will Liv change his mind?

Pediatrician Caiden Tyler has always worked hard and played hard, but lately he’s grown tired of the dating game. All he wants is an old-fashioned girl who can embrace his inner jaguar and match his high sex drive with the passion both he and his big cat needs. When he first spots Match by Mail’s brochure, he doesn’t believe he’ll find the soul mate his cat insists is out there for them. Then he meets Liv…

The curvy blonde journalist applied to the agency while researching a news article on dating agencies. Her previous relationship ended in disaster, and finding love is the last thing on her mind. Then she sees Caiden’s bio. She’s always had a fascination with the big cats that are rumored to exist on Dartmoor, and something tells her there’s more to the gorgeous doctor than meets the eye.

The jaguar convinces him she’s his destiny, but then Caiden discovers the truth behind why she applied to the agency. He’s just learned to trust again and now everything’s falling apart. Should he listen to his cool head or his wild heart?
