Riley Jenson is comfortable with her role as a Guardian in
the Directorate, though her skills are ever-changing. She
understands she is fighting evil in the world. Her
relationship with Quinn is finally on solid ground, but the
fact that she's not yet found the soul-mate for the wolf
within her keeps the situation interesting. Even though her
job does keep her busy with all of the activity in the
area, she still must leave Quinn's coveted embrace to find
out who is murdering human girls, as well as savagely
killing old vampires.
As Riley heads to the next crime scene, she feels and
smells danger in the air, along with the familiar scent of
being followed by someone she knows. As the situation gets
more dangerous, Kye Murphy comes out of nowhere to help
her. Riley attempts to force the hired killer to leave the
premises so she can focus on finding her source, but the
elusive wolf refuses to leave, claiming a friend is asking
for his help in tracking his daughter's killer. To her
dismay and confusion, Riley and Kye work very well
together.
As always, Keri Arthur delivers an action-packed,
emotionally charged, brilliant addition to the Riley Jenson
Guardian series. I am totally ready for the next one.
Seduction that kills. Pleasure to die for. She
just can’t resist . . .
Guardian
Riley Jenson always seems to face the worst villains. And
this time’s no different. For it’s no ordinary sorceress
who can raise the dead to do her killing. But that’s
exactly what Riley expects to find at the end of a trail
of female corpses used—and discarded—in a bizarre ritual
of evil. With pressure mounting to catch one fiend,
another series of brutal slayings shocks the vampire world
of her lover, Quinn. So the last thing Riley needs is the
heat of the upcoming full moon bringing her werewolf
hormones to a boil—or the reappearance of a sexy bounty
hunter, the rogue wolf Kye Murphy.
Riley has
threatened Murphy with arrest if he doesn’t back off the
investigation, but it’s Riley who feels handcuffed by
Kye’s lupine charm. Torn between her vamp and wolf
natures, between her love for Quinn and her hots for Kye,
Riley knows she’s courting danger and indulging the
deadliest desires. For her hunt through the supernatural
underworld will bring her face-to-face with what lurks in
a darkness where even monsters fear to tread.
