When the heroic werewolf Navarre is trapped in the twilight realm, his Shadowmen comrades are unable to rescue him. Only a passionate woman with a spirit as wild as his own can set him free....

Oil heiress Marissa Vasquez fled the jungles of Belize to avoid becoming a pawn in her vicious uncle's wicked schemes. Though she has found temporary sanctuary in little Twilight, Tennessee, only in her dreams does she taste freedom. At night, her spirit intertwines with a magnificent black wolf, and they run together under the glow of a forest moon. When a wounded stranger is brought to the camp where she is hiding, she glimpses in his eyes the mysterious being who has been the partner of her visions. But before she can explore her strange reaction to this man, they are kidnapped and imprisoned once again.

Navarre is a shapeshifting Shadowman, captured by the evil Vladarian vampire who hopes to control Marissa. Injured and blind, he struggles to regain his warrior's strength as they fight for their freedom -- and their lives. Together, their spirits form a powerful link matched only by the passion they discover in each other's arms. But can a mortal woman attain true love with a man who is half wolf? And will their enemies give them time to find an answer?

From the Author:

Evil left to its own devices will eventually implode and one despot will always dispossess another, but Bride of the Wolf delves deeper into the hearts of those who have been scarred by the evil. It explores their emotions as they heal and gain the courage to fight on.

For readers who didn't read the revamped versions of TOUCH A DARK WOLF and LURE OF THE WOLF, I made some subtle changes to the Shadowmen Lore. When I first wrote this story, I had to take out certain elements because the original publisher felt readers wouldn't want them. One particular element was the reasoning behind people with "special" blood and what that might mean to the evil forces we all know exist both in this world and in the spirit world beyond. So as I reworked this story to release on my own, I went in and added that element. What I previously had to call Elan, those with special blood, I could go back to calling Chosen. I could now explain that the Chosen were the descendants of King Solomon and his seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines from many nationalities that scattered to the ends of the earth upon his death. The bloodline from which King Solomon came had been blessed, so in the paranormal world I built, I made that blood special and created an evil that craved the blessed blood for its power. I hope you enjoy the changes I made. To me it adds fullness to the story and comes so much closer to the tale I wanted to tell so many years ago.

Reasons do matter.
