The first story in this collection is by Christine Feehan's Magic in the Wind, a prequel to her Drake Sisters stories. Sarah is a security specialist; Damon is a man dealing with a lot of guilt. He is going to have to accept her powers to save himself.

Katherine Sutcliffe's Hot August Moon is the story of a profiler who can see in to the mind of a serial killer, she's also torn with the man who is helping her, one of the detectives on the case. This one was interesting and made me want to read more of that series.

Fiona Brand's After Midnight has Jane O'Reilly dealing with coming to terms with her husband's death from cancer, her growing attraction to Michael Rider, a local cop, and a killer, who looks like it could be Michael.

Eileen Wilks Only Human is a short story variation on her full novel Tempting Danger, that I've read before this. An interesting story of Werewolf politics and police investigation into strange murders.

Not a bad collection, no real stand-out story but readable.
