Part of Dark-Hunter, book 5
First published 2005
Bride McTierney swears off men after too many disappointments with cheap, selfish partners who never see her true worth. She dreams of finding someone who will love her completely, though she prides herself on independence. Then she meets Vane Kattalakis, a man hiding a deadly secret. Vane is a Were-Hunter, a supernatural wolf shifter marked for death by his enemies. The Fates have chosen Bride as his destined mate, but ancient laws give him only three weeks to make her believe in his world. If he fails to convince her that supernatural creatures exist, he faces permanent neutering. Vane must protect Bride from those hunting him while revealing his true nature. Bride struggles to accept that the man she's falling for transforms into a wolf. Their enemies close in as time runs out. In the brutal Were-Hunter world where only the strongest survive, Vane fights for both their lives and their love.
