Things are looking up for Sophie Garou. She's recently made
partner at Withers and Young after landing the huge account
for Southeast Airlines, and her boyfriend, hot up-and-comer
Heath, has been seen leaving an exclusive jewelers with a
ring-sized box. Yes, things were definitely looking up in
her little corner of Texas. So what if she's a werewolf.
Thanks to her mother's secret blend of wolfsbane tea,
Sophie manages to keep most of those urges under control,
except during moments of extreme stress.
Unfortunately, Sophie's years of living in well-kept
anonymity have come to a resounding end. Her home is broken
into and ransacked by unknown assailants, and three young
made-werewolves, the grrls, turn up on her doorstep,
wanting her to be their alpha after the wolf that made them
suddenly disappears.
Then the Houston pack decides Sophie must leave the state
since she's been living in their territory without pack
affiliation. Heath is suddenly spending a lot of his Sophie-
time with an attractive coworker instead, and Sophie is
experiencing more than warm-and-fuzzy feelings for her best
friend's boyfriend, werewolf Tom, and her number-one client
Mark, head of Southeast Airlines. When the Houston pack
decides Sophie would be an asset as a spy for the pack,
Sophie finds herself in the middle of a turf war of
unexpected paranormal proportions. It isn't until the
situation seems hopeless that help arrives from the most
unexpected of sources.
ON THE PROWL, Karen MacInerney's second in the Tales
of an Urban Werewolf, is as thrillingly hilarious as the
first in the series. Sophie is a humorously sophisticated
career girl doing her best to cope with the extra hairiness
that's the bane of her existence. Trouble finds her with
ease and her adventures are pure escapist fun. With
entertaining sidekicks and a fast-paced story, Ms.
MacInerney's fans are going to love this latest werewolf
tale.
Sophie Garou is a master
at taming her inner beast, which comes in handy since
she’s a werewolf. With a big promotion at work and a
supersexy boyfriend, Heath (whom she recently spotted
leaving a jewelry store with a beguiling ring box), she’s
one happy girl.
But when Heath starts spending long
nights at the office with his new associate–a dead-ringer
for Career Day Barbie–Sophie smells trouble. And when her
professional relationship with her big new client–who also
happens to be Texas’s brilliantly blue-eyed most eligible
bachelor–begins to sizzle, she wonders if her animal
instincts are leading her in the wrong direction. Just
when it seems that things can’t get any more complicated,
they do. The Houston werewolf pack has sniffed Sophie out,
and their message is chillingly clear: you’re either with
us or against us. And unless she can prove that she’s with
them, the next full moon may just be her last.
