Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

Rosalind Rutherford will do anything to keep her stepbrother from marrying her off to a disgusting toad of a man to settle gambling debts -- even asking Armond Wulf to ruin her reputation. Ignored by the ton, Armond is believed to have committed murder years after his parents committed suicide. His entire family is thought to be mad. Warned by her stepbrother to stay away from Wulf, Rosalind nevertheless sees no other way to escape the hideous future in store for her. But the Wulf brothers are all victims of a curse -- a curse that comes to fruition at the full moon. THE DARK ONE, first in the new Wild Wulfs of London series, is delightful. The historic feel is incredible, the characters true-to-life and the plot is believable, even as a paranormal. I've never thought of a werewolf story as tender, but this one is. I can't wait for the next installment. A very good read.

SUMMARY

A PASSION IGNITED Rosalind Rutherford knows full well the scandal she courts when she attempts to seduce the notorious Armond Wulf—in fact, she’s counting on it as a means to escape her sadistic stepbrother’s control. Unfortunately, Lord Wulf’s better instincts prevail...although not before he gives Rosalind a tantalizing taste of what she’s missing. And when the opportunity arises to rescue Armond from a grim fate while changing her own, Rosalind knows she must seize it... A CURSE UNLEASHED Armond can no more ignore the Rutherford woman than his ancestor could resist the temptress who cursed the Wulf men with a terrifying transformation that occurs at the appearance of the full moon—and is set in motion by love. Now, to save her reputation and his freedom, Armond must marry Rosalind. But he vows that while they may share the pleasures of the marriage bed, she will never have his heart... A LOVE EVERLASTING Yet as strange and mysterious events bring them closer in body and soul, Armond finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings for his new wife locked away. Especially when the reality of unquenchable desire—and certain danger— burn stronger than ever by the light of a full moon...
