True love, freedom, money, danger… Dreams and desires of the ordinary woman, or man. From a battered woman rediscovering freedom to an actress finding more on a set than expected to a treasure seeker stumbling upon something else to a taxi driver in search of danger, this collection of nineteen stories celebrates the attainment of all one can dream or desire. Which one do you secretly yearn for?

By purchasing this collection, you can help turn someone’s nightmare into the pursuit of dreams. Every year, four million women are assaulted by their partners. At Freya’s Bower, we want to do our part to bring this statistic down to zero. To this end, all net proceeds from every Dreams and Desire anthology purchased will go to a battered woman’s shelter. Through education and support, we can make a difference.

“Amanda Brice’s amusing story will delight readers.”

“Dreams & Desires is one of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in a while. Just when I’m convinced that it’s some kind of cosmic rule for anthologies in general to be disappointing in one way or the other, I find myself laughing quietly to nearly every story, sighing softly at many of them. … These stories vary in style and setting, with some being chick-lit and romantic comedies while others are romantic drama aiming to make me sigh rather than chuckle. Some are sweet and adorable like Amanda Brice’s.”
