Prisca Hawthorne has always loved Lord William Westfield, but after he broke her heart as a very young woman, she has used every opportunity to torment him with her brazen manner and harsh tongue. William, in his turn, has reciprocated her ire with his own sarcastic comments as he's made a swath through every interested maid in six counties.

However, William's jealousy threatens to overcome him when an unfamiliar Lycan starts sniffing around Prisca's skirts. Little does he know that Prisca's brothers want to fan the flames of jealousy so that William and Prisca will finally realize they are meant to be together. The problem is that Prisca does not wish to be manipulated, even into her heart's desire.

A wonderful continuation of the Westfield Lycan series, THE WOLF NEXT DOOR is an enjoyable and romantic tale about shapeshifting, magic and love.
