Mariella Finch has been able to shape the Ephemeros, the land of dreams, since a childhood accident gave her the ability – but although she's used the dream world as her personal playground for years, she's never before tried to meet anyone from there in the real world.

Not until she meets Butler Meadows.

Their first meeting turns immediately to passion when his nightmare has them both fighting a soul-eating monster. The second time they dream together, Mariella finds herself ever more drawn to the handsome, charming man unlike anyone she's ever met. It feels wrong to find him in the waking world, but fate brings them together.

Mariella knows that she can use everything she learns about Butler in Ephemeros to make him love her. What she doesn't know is if she wants a romance built on lies and fantasy–or if Butler will ever trust her if he knows the truth.

The Kissing & Screaming series features spooky, steamy tales that can be read in any order. For fans of Supernatural, The X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
