Romance Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

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.

SUMMARY

Talk about a bad-hair day!

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.
