Catherine Marais comes from an interesting set of
ancestors, and she has fully embraced her family's legacy
as werewolf hunters. She is well aware of the hazards of
the job as her father was killed by one of the despicable
creatures. Catherine has worked hard to become a
formidable hunter and the werewolves are right to fear
her. Unfortunately during a hunt, an injured wolf gets
away, and her description is passed through the werewolf
ranks. Now wolves are out for her blood. Will she be able
to outsmart and outman them this time? Or will the sheer
numbers of beasts out for revenge overwhelm her?
Ian Morgan has finally found a woman he wants to spend
several lifetimes with, and he is confident that Catherine
feels the same about him. Now if he can only tempt her to
join him in eternity as a vampire. He is well aware of her
obligations, and being nocturnal will not change them. In
fact, her added strength will be a bonus. Unfortunately,
it seems that the dreadful werewolves have gained some
ability to strategize as not only is Catherine a target,
but her niece is as well. Will a team of hunters,
vampires, and humans be able to regain their loved ones?
Will Ian lose another woman he would have loved forever?
Melina Morel proves once again that she adds an exciting
dimension to the paranormal romance genre. Her stories
include many different types of creatures, and they for the
most part live in harmony or ignorance of the other
groups. I was once again captured by her writing and lured
in to a fabulous tale. It was fascinating to have this
detailed glimpse into Catherine's life and to understand
the choices and trial that she faces and deals with daily.
Ian seems to be the perfect supporting companion, and we do
get to understand him a little better. SMOLDER sizzles
with romance, tingles with intrigue, and takes the reader
for a thrilling ride.

Vengeance has its
price.
But you pay for passion forever...
Descended from werewolf hunters, Catherine Marais
has vanquished countless of their vile kind-including the
one that slaughtered her father. Her debt of blood and honor
was fulfilled-but her heart is empty.
The only one
who ignites Catherine's passion is Ian-a handsome, elegant
vampire whose seductive touch she cannot resist. But when he
offers her the dark temptation of eternal commitment to each
other, Catherine must look within her heart-and her truest
desires-to find the answers she seeks...
