    The silent group by the fire once more broke forth into wild gesticulations and cries, Stella prostrated herself, the Form on the altar grew clearer and with a cry of horror Mr Fowke turned away and rushed madly across the moor'. Amyas Northcote's In Ghostly Company is a rare and splendid collection of strange and disturbing tales from the golden age of ghost stories. His style is akin to that of the master of the genre M.R. James: it is measured and insidiously suggestive, producing unnerving chills rather than shocks and gasps. Northcote's tales make the reader unsettled and uneasy. This is partly due to the fact that the hauntings or strange occurrences take place in natural or mundane surroundings - surroundings familiar to the reader but never before thought of as unusual or threatening. Long out of print, this book remains an enthralling and chilling read.

     Just when I was about to give up all hope, the sexiest cop I'd ever seen pulled up beside me, and offered me a helping hand. Now all I have to do is let go of my painful past and take it... MATT I was at the end of a long, hard day of patrolling the streets when I spotted the curvy cutie crying on the side of the street, and found myself wanting nothing more than to pull her into my arms.

    He looks like a bad boy biker, and that type of guy isn't interested in girls like me. I’m too curvy, and I’m sure he isn’t into that. But a girl can dream, can’t she? I try to get him out of my mind. I try to stop thinking about that chiseled jawline, that short soldier haircut, those muscles, and the tan surfer skin. I try to think about something else, like my favorite TV show, or how crappy work is going to be tomorrow, or how my best friend is getting married to her boyfriend. I try to think about anything to get my mind off Jason. And it doesn’t work. He’s stuck in my head, and I can tell he’s not going to leave until I get him. Jason: It's impossible to sleep tonight. I’m lying in bed and all I can think about is the moment I laid eyes on her. Tina. She's everything I've ever wanted. Curves for days, and legs that don’t seem to end. And that face... How could someone possibly be so cute? Of course, I’ve got to be realistic. She’s my type, but we only just met. Maybe I'm moving too quickly. I may be an alpha, but beneath that tough guy exterior, there’s a whole lot of heart. I’ve had my fair share of messy breakups, and each time I get a little colder. If it happens again, my heart might finally turn to ice. But so far, this girl has managed to melt me inside. HER CURVES, HIS FATE is an instant-love, happy-ever-after steamy alpha BBW romance novella, featuring an older alpha male with a younger BBW. This is a standalone story in the ENDLESS CURVES series.
