PASSIONATE LESSONS: FOUR STORIES OF WOMEN IN LOVE
JAMES EYRE
Warlock’s Cove
Warlock’s Cove, a picturesque village nestled on the rocky New England coast, is a small town like no other. Founded in the seventeenth century by two families driven out of Europe for practicing witchcraft, it has developed a uniquely tolerant and unconventional culture. Warlocks, vampires, and ghosts all attempt to co-exist peacefully there while keeping their secret from the outside world. Occasionally, however, they run into trouble when overly curious humans wander into town looking for trouble…or love.
When Professor Dane Forrest accepts a teaching position at the local college, he sees it as an opportunity to learn more about the folktales and supernatural legends he has spent his career researching. What he doesn’t expect is to spend his first two nights in town rescuing a student from a vampire attack and then going on a date with the alleged vampire himself. Though he’s determined to maintain detached, unemotional outlook, he soon starts to realize why vampires are known as masters of seduction…and why they are considered as deadly as they are alluring.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, hundred-year-old vampire Simon is mourning the loss of the man he loved, who deliberately ended his existence by walking into the sunlight. Things begin to look up when Simon makes an intriguing new acquaintance down by the beach. Unfortunately, the young man in question seems to have as many secrets as Simon does. Faced with having his long-cold heartbroken a second time, Simon wonders whether his best course of action might be to follow his former mate into a peaceful oblivion.
Morgan and the Star Guard
Growing up on one of the quadrant’s most popular star stations, Morgan Drex has spent half his life fantasizing about one day wearing the sleek blue-and-gold outfits and tall, gleaming black boots of Earth’s elite Star Guard. Those dreams have almost faded when he meets Evander Redshift at the Lunar Bar one night.
A tough officer who has traveled the galaxy, Evander offers Morgan a chance not just to become a Star Guard, but to become a man as well. That won’t be easy for a guy who has never left the space station where he was born and whose family has already mapped out a career path for him in the local casino. Somehow, Morgan has to muster the courage to accept Evander’s offer and take off for the stars.
Dustin and the Diplomat
Cadet Dustin Ezerus is thrilled when he learns that his hero, intergalactic ambassador Praex Gallilu, is passing through the quadrant. Better yet, he's stopping at the academy to offer a lecture and accept an honorary degree. Dustin wastes no time in getting himself appointed to show Ambassador Gallilu around. If things work out the way he hopes, he'll be showing their distinguished guest more than just the academy's architectural features.
What he has in mind involves a much more intimate introduction to the student body...or at least one body in particular!
Jefrus and the Alien Genius
Jefrus Kelby is skeptical when his boyfriend, fellow Star Cadet Neval Camden, suggests that they team up to seduce the shy, virginal alien Zoran Azii. It’s not just a matter of lust—Zoran is the Academy’s best student in subspace physics, and Jefrus and Neval desperately need to pass their upcoming exam. Neval figures the best way is to trade certain favors for some high-octane tutoring.
Though he is willing to go along with the plan, Jefrus is shocked at Neval’s apparent willingness to share him with another man in exchange for better grades. Things get even more complicated when he finds out that Zoran is looking for something more meaningful than a simple barter arrangement. Jefrus has never envisioned himself leaving Neval for the arms of an alien genius…but maybe it’s time to expand his imagination.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jade Astor is a longtime fan of both m/m and f/f erotic love stories, and got her start writing paranormal and sci-fan fan fiction back when such publications were still run off on photocopiers, stapled together, and shipped out to other fans in manila envelopes. Years later, she was delighted to find a thriving population of like-minded writers and readers in the ebook community.
When she is not writing, Jade enjoys sculpting, tinkering with computers, and training (and retraining) her small herd of unruly but adorable rescued Chihuahuas.
