Renata has no equal in battle. She has a gift unlike any
other that will bring vampires instantly to their knees,
and a talent with knives and guns unequaled by mortals.
With her gift is a rebound that leaves her weak, but she
manages to hide that weakness from all but her closest
enemies. Nikolai is a warrior, one of the Breed's elite.
His search for the elusive Sergei Yakut, a Gen One, leads
Niko to Renata and her carefully laid trap.
Sergei grants Niko an audience, but wishes no involvement
or interference from the warrior and his team. Niko accepts
Sergei's reluctant hospitality to avoid the daylight and
learn more about the lovely Renata. He's fascinated by the
beautiful, lethal woman and attracted to her on many
different levels. Renata refuses to admit her attraction to
the intriguing warrior, believing to do so will cost her
all she holds dear. While exploring the compound, Niko
discovers some unpleasant truths about Renata and the
goings-on at Sergei's compound that have him ready to bring
down the full power of The Order.
When one closest to Sergei turns traitor and frames Niko,
Renata assists in his capture, only to realize too late her
mistake. Knowing Niko may be her only hope to save herself
and the child she loves more than anything else, Renata
puts into action a plan that could mean the end of herself
and the man she is learning to love.
Lara Adrian's VEIL OF MIDNIGHT is book five of the
Midnight Breed series. Well-written and beautifully
plotted, with intriguingly complex characters, it's a
thrill ride from the opening scenes. Renata and Niko are
flawed heroes, struggling with their reality and
recognizing in the other a kindred spirit. Apart, they are
strong, fierce warriors, together, they're a force to be
reckoned with. The multi-layered plotline continues to lead
readers to what promises to be a battle of epic
proportions. Niko's story is the one I've most looked
forward to throughout the series, but Ms. Adrian has set up
a couple of characters in this story with events I look
forward to reading about. Fans get ready, this series just
gets better and better!
Bound by blood, addicted to danger, they'll enter the
darkest—and most erotic—place of all.
A warrior
trained in bullets and blades, Renata cannot be bested by
any man—vampire or mortal. But her most powerful weapon is
her extraordinary psychic ability—a gift both rare and
deadly. Now a stranger threatens her hard-won independence—
a golden-haired vampire who lures her into a realm of
darkness…and pleasure beyond imagining.
A combat-
loving adrenaline junkie, Nikolai dispenses his own
justice to enemies of the Breed—and his latest quarry is a
ruthless assassin. One woman stands in his way: the
seductive, cool-as-ice bodyguard, Renata. But Renata’s
powers are put to the test when a loved one, a child, is
threatened and she’s forced to turn to Niko for help. As
the two join forces, as desire fans the flames of a deeper
hunger, Renata’s life is under siege by a man who offers
the exquisite pleasure of a blood bond—and a passion that
could save or doom them both forever.…
