In the desert town of Cambio Springs, the water is cool, the summers sizzle, and all the residents wear fur, feathers, or snakeskin on full moon nights. In a world of cookie-cutter shifter romance, head to the desert for something different. In “Long Ride Home,” Jena Crowe escaped the Springs ten years ago. Now, she’s heading home with two boys to start a new life. With her husband’s ghost keeping her company on the road, Jena will learn that moving back and moving backward aren’t necessarily the same thing, and sometimes the places you try to escape are exactly where you need to fall. In “Five Mornings,” Alex McCann and Teodora ‘Ted’ Vasquez never had a simple relationship… but you couldn’t call it a boring one either. Five mornings in their past shape who they will become to each other. To their families. And to the mysterious town they call home. In Stings & Arrows, Sean Quinn escaped Cambio Springs with nothing but the clothes on his back, fleeing from a scorned clan, an unearned reputation, and the weight of family history. Wandering the world as a travel photographer suited him, until he met one fellow wanderer who would upset everything he thought about his future. Strange Dreams is an anthology of two previously published short stories, “Long Ride Home” and “Five Mornings,” with an all new prequel novella, Stings and Arrows, by ten-time USA Today bestseller, Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Cambio Springs series and the Elemental Mysteries.
