Guardian Lovers is a delightful collection of Mary Jo (M.J.) Putney's shorter stories set in the world of her Guardian Trilogy. Characters may have unusual magical gifts, but they also have the normal human desire for love.

A stubborn Scottish weather mage and a rare wild talent woman descended from Spanish Marranos unite to save Britain from the Spanish Armada. An exhausted medical student finds unexpected danger and an even more unexpected enchantress when he makes a late night visit to his local New York deli. A gifted police officer joins with a female Guardian to stop a murderous succubus. A Guardian neurologist on a Christmas holiday is enlisted to help rescue imperiled children.

In all four stories in this collection (The Alchemical Marriage, Tuesday Night at the Deli, The Demon Dancer, and Toasted: A Christmas Story) magically gifted men and women risk their lives to do the right thing, and in the process find a love for all ages.

Praise for the Guardian Trilogy:

"Putney's fully imagined magical system, combined with Georgian detail, is a terrific setting for a tale of intrigue and danger... The sexual tension is high in this enchanting blend of fantasy and romance."

—Booklist (starred review)

"Enchanting... Putney does a fine job of weaving magical elements together with actual historical events to create a rich, romantic tapestry."

—Publishers Weekly
