Calabi Chronicles: Bloodstone
Ann Vremont
Paranormal / Romance
The medieval manuscript of a Dark Mage and a mysterious stone with the power over time and space plunge Aideen Godwin into a world of sex and sorcery, love, passion and betrayal. Arriving late at the estate sale of reported Arch Druid Michael Meyrick, Aideen buys the last item available-a crate, contents unknown. Back in her Dublin antiques shop, she finds that the crate holds a blood-red stone and the diary of Cenn Cruach. Academic appreciation of the text is soon replaced by erotic visions of Cenn. With each new page translated, the dreams grow more searing, drawing Aideen closer to the conclusion that she is the mysterious witch Cenn seeks to possess at all costs. Foregoing a childhood aversion to magic, Aideen uses the Bloodstone and finds herself not only in Cenn's arms and bed, but also in a land besieged by unseen evil. Treachery and the Bloodstone's own duplicity tear the lovers apart, returning Aideen to her storeroom where she questions her memories of this other time and place. Into Aideen's life steps the strangely familiar Kean Toland. He warns that her life is in danger, but before he can convince the reluctant Aideen of his honest intent, her world and belief system are turned upside down. To survive a madman and his troupe of killers, Aideen must put aside her fears and place her trust in Kean and the Bloodstone-before the dimensional barriers are broken down and an unholy army trailing chaos in its wake is unleashed. Publisher's Note: This book is a revised and expanded reissue from Ms. Vremont's former publisher.

Adonis 5000
Ann Vremont
Paranormal / Romance
Lissa Spence is thirty-two, a Westinghouse Scholar, holding dual degrees in cognitive science and robotics. She is dedicated to her job. And, oh, what a job! She's being paid quite handsomely to create a lifelike man, and yes, he really does have blond hair and a tan. Problem is, he looks just like her boss, Segrin Cayce. Not her fault! Honestly! After putting in a long day of tweaking and testing "sensitive" electro-sensors, Lissa likes nothing more than to go home, take a luxurious bubble bath, throw on some jazz music, open her bedside drawer and pull out her own personal set of electronic lifelike toys for a little "down" time. As a rule, Segrin Cayce, CEO of Cayce Industries, stays far away from the labs. In his opinion, those white-smocked scientists are just too odd. But he has had his eye on one scientist for quite some time, Dr. Lissa Spence, and it's no longer enough to speculate about the woman who wears sedate clothing-and that gawd awful lab coat-on the outside, but whose in-depth personnel records identify online purchases of "toys" that are anything but sedate. Segrin is determined to crack Lissa's icy, cerebral shell, and in the process get her to leave her work AND toys behind to discover what it's like having the real thing. But more than love lurks in the labs at Cayce Industries. There's Lissa's life-like man, the Adonis 5000-a $47 million state-of-the art robot with recognition scores a Harvard grad would kill to have. And once the line between life and life-like begins to blur, something unexpected is bound to happen. Publisher's Note: Adonis 5000 was previously published by Yoni Books in 2003 as "Beauty and the Gee" under the pen name Thea Solo.
