Rogues and Wild Fire: A Speculative Romance Anthology

Featuring stories by Nyri Bakkalian, Charleigh Brennan, Celosia Crane, K. A. Fox, Patrisha Harrigan, Ynes Malakova, Dorothy Tinker, and Sarah Windsor. Introduction by Debbie Burns. Cover Art by Kali A Moulton.

"I have lived alone for so long, but now that I have found you, I no longer wish for that cold existence."

A wounded Texas Ranger is sheltered by an ostracized healer. A vengeful wasteland warrior finds comfort with a colorful streetwalker. An information dealer promises life to a desperate outlaw chasing death.

Rogues and Wild Fire is a beautifully crafted collection of speculative fiction stories featuring world-weary men and women with cracks in their hearts--and the steadfast rogues who rekindle their passions. The scars of former hurts fade as the couples join their beautiful, fiery spirits in body and soul.

With hunters and witches, humans and shape-shifters, detectives and demons, seers and soothsayers, and soldiers from two eras, these tales illustrate the bliss that is possible when the past is overcome and love spreads unbridled and free--

like wild fire.
