A grandmother’s last request, a mysterious old coin, and a heartfelt wish.
Armed with a mysterious package, Angelica travels to Scotland to fulfill the requirements of her grandmother’s will. The package contains an ancient coin and a letter telling her to make one wish. Angelica’s wish for true love sends her back in time and into the arms of a man who could make all of her dreams come true – if she’ll let him.
Excerpt :
The heat of anger in her eyes, and the edge of sarcasm in her tone put his teeth on edge. The fact that he knew his cousin was interested and he didn’t know if she returned his cousin’s interest bothered him. If he wasn’t careful, he’d lose her before he’d won her.
“Your Grace, if you point me in the direction of my room, I’m sure the seamstress will be waiting for me. As you noted, I need proper—or was that decent, clothing to cover myself with.”
Angelica’s formal tone and lack of expression while addressing him hit harder than he’d anticipated. The gleam that appeared in Ewan’s eyes at the discord brewing between himself and Angelica stopped him from uttering the apology he found ready on his lips to soothe the tension between them. “This way, Lady Angelica.” Duncan replied shortly, his irritation surging when she ignored his arm and stopped to offer Ewan her hand. “A pleasure to meet you, Lord MacHenry. I hope we have the chance to talk later.”
Ewan took her hand between both of his own. “The pleasure, Lady Richmond, was all mine. You have but to name the time and I will make myself available to you. But please call me Ewan. It is only proper if we are to get to know each other better, as I hope we will. Much, much better.”
“Very well, Ewan then you must call me…”
“Lady Angelica.” Duncan prompted, scowling towards his cousin. “And you must call him Lord Ewan, Angel.”
Angelica sighed, and turned to glare at Duncan. The annoyance showing on her face at being interrupted made him wonder if he’d already lost her.
“Lady Angelica, it is then.” He told her with a wink bringing her hand up to his lips.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, Lord Ewan. Your Grace, can you please show me to my room. I believe we need to discuss the details of my stay here, not to mention some rules!”
“Yes, we do.” Duncan agreed, following Angelica out the door past Ewan. “As do we, dear cousin.” Once Angelica was out of sight, he turned towards Ewan, fury plainly visible on his face. His fists balled at his sides to prevent himself from striking out at the younger man.

As she says farewell to her old pseudonym and hello to Anya Howard, author Desiree Erotique offers readers some of the best and newest ofher writings in the collection, Adieu, Bonjour.
“There was a time when Romance was a quest set in beautiful and unbridled lands, where the characters’ greatest succor came in the sublime awareness of the moment’s sensations and the will to succeed without heed to danger, conflict, conformity or the taboo. Today a Romance is a narrowly structured tale set against a background of danger and conflict that, conformingly, steers clear of all traces of the taboo.
And of these two, I believe the former more closely describes the adventure called love.”
~ Desiree Erotique, 2005, Appalachian Aspiring Writers Festival

In a world that fights its battles from one extreme to another, there exists a society that is dedicated to balance and the Universal Elements—The Circle of Elemental Guardians.
The Elemental Guardians answer only to the Council of Ma'at--the Ultimate Elemental Justice and their goal is simple-- to keep balance for all life. Charis Windstrom left the Elemental Guardians when their ways differed from her own on a mission gone wrong. What she never expects is to find links of the Guardians in ancient Egypt or that her curiosity would result in the unleashing of an ancient evil.
There is only one person who can help her and he's not giving up his secrets easily. Dr Nate Tolemy is not all what he appears, even if he's the Adept of Fire.
Fate forces Charis Windstrom and Nate Tolemy back together for one more mission. The last time they were together, Charis was engaged to another man, but the immediate soul connection to Nate scared her. Now he was her salvation as they follow the bloody trail of the ancient evil. Yet Nate is still keeping secrets from Charis. Part of him fears what she’ll do when she finds out the truth about his history, his former life before becoming an Adept Elemental Guardian. Part of him knows there is no other woman for him in this life or any other.
Neither one of them realizes that the ancient evil has many plans and it includes the destruction of the Elemental Guardians and the descendants of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Will Nate and Charis get past their differences, the fear of attraction, and even the fear within themselves in order to work together and stop the ancient evil before it gets enough power to rule the world?

Blurb: A grandmother’s last request, a mysterious old coin, and a heartfelt wish.
Armed with a mysterious package, Angelica travels to Scotland to fulfill the requirements of her grandmother’s will. The package contains an ancient coin and a letter telling her to make one wish.
Angelica’s wish for true love sends her back in time and into the arms of a man who could make all of her dreams come true – if she’ll let him.
Excerpt:
Duncan woke, the sun shining in his eyes. The fact that the sun touched his face meant his servants had disobeyed a standing order of not entering his bedchamber without consent. They knew better, he’d made it perfectly clear in the past to never disturb him until he called for them.
His mood lightened when he realized his Angel was wrapped around his body, cuddling as close as she could, while the blankets covering her were all but stripped away from her body. Lord, she looked beautiful laying there, the sunlight glinting off her copper colored tresses. He knew it had never before been done; but he was never letting this woman go. Once he learned of her past, he was going to find a way to make her his Duchess.
Moving away just an inch, he smiled when she cuddled closer; closing the gap he’d created between them. Her hand, which rested over his heart slid lower when she moved, causing him to harden instantly. The temptation to take her again washed over him, he needed to find out who she was and where she came from.
Soft caresses along her skin evoked a lusty, low moan in Angelica. A soft, cool breeze against her skin had her cuddling closer to the warmth she felt right beside her, eliciting a groan of desire in return. Her body stilled its movements as her eyes snapped open. “Who’s there?”
“Ah my Angel, glad to see you’re finally awake. I’ve been attempting to entice you to open your beautiful emerald eyes for an hour now. You’ve been quite stubborn and may I add I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.”
“You mean this isn’t a dream?” She asked, stunned.
“You are most definitely my dream come true, Angel.”
“I… I have to go.” She cried, pulling the blanket up to her breasts trying to cover herself as she slowly scooted away from him as far as she could on the bed. “What have I done?”
“Go? Go where? I forbid it. You promised me answers this morning, my Angel, and I intend to collect them.” The determined scowl on his face propelled her out of bed with the sheet wrapped tightly around her.
“Answers? What kind of answers? I don’t know anything. I don’t even know how I got here.” Angelica felt panic rising uncontrollably within her. A full-blown panic attack just waiting to be set free. Where were her clothes?
