This anthology delivers a brisk, escapist plunge into three distinct realms of paranormal and sci-fi romance, bound together by a shared pulse of high-stakes danger and fierce devotion. The reading experience is intensely propulsive, driven by snappy dialogue and the immediate, magnetic pull between fated mates. Whether navigating a dragon-guarded alternate dimension, surviving the brutal aftermath of an assassin's sacrifice, or pulling a fictional knight into the modern world, the atmosphere remains consistently swoony and action-packed. The prose is accessible and emotionally charged, focusing on the visceral intensity of trauma healed through unconditional love. It is a perfect, bite-sized treat for readers who devour stories of brooding, protective alpha heroes and the compassionate women who become their ultimate salvation.

About the book

This is the anthology that compiles all of the short stories Sherri wrote for Berkley. It contains:

Dragonswan which is the first Were-Hunter story every published. Scholar Channon MacRea has spent years studying the legendary Dragon Tapestry, devoting days and nights to deciphering the impenetrable Old English symbolism.

Then one evening the unnaturally seductive Sebastian appears. He claims to hold the key to solving the tapestry's mysteries... He also claims to be a dragon slayer trapped between two worlds.

For Channon there's only one way to finally uncover the secrets of the intricate embroidery-by following this stranger into a fantastic alternate world of magic, danger, and adventure.

Fire & Ice The League story with Adron (son of Nykyrian and Kiara). Adron Quiakides was the fiercest of the League Assassins. As his father before him, none could touch him until the day he traded himself for a pregnant hostage.

Butchered and left for dead, he barely survived. That single act of kindness cost him everything and left him emotionally and physically crippled.

Livia typpa Vista is a noblewoman trying to escape a horrifying marriage her father is forcing her into. When she mistakenly sits down at Adron's table while fleeing her pursuers, she has no idea that by running from her fate, she meets her destiny.

Knightly Dreams Sparhawk is conjured from his book and finds himself alive in our world and in the hands of woman who is the only hope he has of escaping his death should he return to his novel.
