With a serial killer on the loose and a sister struggling
for her life, beautiful and naïve werewolf Neva Grant
finds herself embarking on a mission to infiltrate the
scandalous Sinclair estate during a powerful phase of the
moon. Hoping to find clues that will point to the werewolf
behind the recent attacks in Ripple Creek, Neva sets out to
entice Duncan Sinclair as she sees him to be the safest of
the Sinclair males. Neva underestimates the attraction she
feels towards Duncan and his determination to hold her to
the promise to remain his for the duration of the moon's
phase. She soon finds herself caught in a precarious
situation as the clever Sinclair male seeks her out and
threatens to turn her perfect world upside down.
Duncan Sinclair has been summoned home to help investigate
the attacks occurring in close proximity to the Sinclair
grounds. It's been ten years since he has participated in
the dances occurring at the mansion but young, golden
haired Neva is too hard to resist. He is drawn to her and
decides to lay chase when she slips away after their first
night together. He is surprised to find out that she is
the daughter of the town's morality litmus test but decides
to hold her to her moon sworn promise in the event she has
information about the attacks. Neva turns out to be the
poster girl for everything Duncan has struggled to find but
his sordid past threatens to stand in the way to his one
true soul mate.
Keri Arthur's, BENEATH A RISING MOON, is the first of two
books that transport you to the Ripple Creek werewolf
reservation; a town not unlike many small towns with the
exception that it's primarily populated with werewolves.
This quiet town has been the site of recent brutal attacks
and many are trying to catch the werewolf behind them.
The storyline is suspenseful and clever and the passion
behind Neva and Duncan is off the charts. Don't be
surprised to find yourself looking for the second
installment in this series just to further the adventure
into Ripple Creek...I certainly did!
Keri Arthur, the New York Times bestselling author of the
Riley Jenson Guardian series, takes readers to the werewolf
reservation of Ripple Creek—where moon fever runs high and a
savage murderer runs rampant. There’s no turning back for
Neva Grant. To find a killer, she must seduce the boldest
male in the Sinclair pack. Her twin sister lies in a
hospital bed, fighting for her life, the fourth and only
surviving victim of a vicious attacker. The werewolf rangers
suspect the Sinclair pack, and the only way Neva can
infiltrate their close-knit ranks is to unleash the wildness
within and offer herself to Duncan Sinclair. Duncan’s
appetite for women is legendary on the reservation. But when
this new woman stirs his hunger, he finds his desire for her
goes deeper than anything he’s ever felt before. When he
realizes that she’s playing a game and he’s taken the bait,
he is determined to push her to the breaking point. As
Duncan and Neva engage in a dangerous dance, they must
somehow find a way to join forces—before a cornered killer
bites back.
