Night Play
(Sherrilyn Kenyon)
A werewolf with the powers ofa wizard and the soul of a poet falls in love with a shop owner in New Orleans.Bride McTierney, owner of a small boutique in downtown New Orleans, is nursing a broken heart when Vane (strong, sensitive and sexy) walks into her life and sweeps her off her feet. Bride is not the type of woman that men notice, especially not gorgeous, powerful, exciting men like Vane. And yet, he buys her expensive gifts, chaperones her out on the town and looks at her with an emotion too intense to be called admiration. But he disappears for days at a time and refuses to tell her where he goes. He seems to know just when she needs him, but he won?t give her his address or his phone number. Bride has been dumped too many times not to be suspicious when a man says he just wants to be with her. She knows Vane is not telling her the entire truth about something and insists he come clean before things go any further between them.Vane Kattalis has problems. A shape shifter with a beast?s instincts and a man?s intellect, neither species fully trusts him. In a world in which magic workers wielded power for fun and profit, sorcerers with scruples were rare. Vane?s conscience was his strength and his weakness. Also, someone is trying to kill him and his brother.One of Vane?s many enemies has hired professional assassins with supernatural powers. It could be his paranoid father, who views his sons as competition. Or it could be his obsessed mother who views her sons as abominations. It might even be his unstable half brother, who is only slightly weaker than Vane. The assassins could be motivated by profit or pleasure; either way, Vane needs somewhere safe to leave his catatonic brother before things get any worse. He was just looking for a quiet place to rest up when Vane met Bride. She is the best thing that ever happened to him and he refuses to live without her. Somehow, Vane must tell Bride exactly who and what he is.It will be difficult enough to explain about shape shifters, sorcerers and supernatural assassins; but when Vane introduces his girlfriend to his mother, the real trouble will begin.
