The Woman Who Wasn't
(2025)(Book 38 in the Uncollected Anthology Stories series)
A Story by Annie Reed
Christian uses his magic to protect the world from monsters great and small who slither and slime their way into our dimension seeking to satisfy their all-consuming hunger. Not quite human himself, Christian possesses a certain charm that tends to make him irresistible.
Especially to women like the one in a slinky red dress who watches him trap a particularly stubborn little beastie one dark night.
A woman with powerful magic of her own.
In Christian’s experience, a woman like that would only seek him out for two reasons. His reputation as a monster hunter. Or his reputation as a ladies’ man.
He should have known better.
