Christine Warren explores what happens when there's a new
breed in town in ON THE PROWL, the newest book in the
Others
series (set just after Not Your Ordinary Faerie
Tale.)
The ancient but diminishing breed of Tiguri families are
working to gain a toe-hold in New York. This means
solidifying the undertaking by an arranged marriage between
representatives of the two strongest families and
coordinating their efforts to place one of their own on the
Council of Others.
Saskia Arcos accepts the arranged marriage as her lot in
life, fully prepared by her upbringing to be a genuine
partner with the man chosen by her family. She knows she
weds for the good of the Tiguri, and has known for decades
that her mate will be Nicolas Preda. She is eager to get on
with the next stage of her life, putting her talents to use
to build a strong family in the New World. When someone
with Tiguri characteristics targets the head of the Council
all that is put into jeopardy. Her intended mate refuses
to
share information that will protect him and their goals in
New York, despite the skills she can bring to the problem.
Saskia knows she must take action or forever accept a
lesser
role in their partnership. She is fully ready to fight for
equal inclusion in the life they are building no matter how
angry Nic becomes.
Nic Preda is not your average Tiguri. Rather than seeking
power, he simply wants to build his business and secure a
place for the Tiguri in the Council of Others in New York
City. His marriage to the eminently suitable Saskia is
simply another necessary step on the path to achieving the
goals of his family and the Tiguri legacy. He refuses to
countenance any further consolidation of power or expansion
of territory no matter what his father's plans. He plans to
settle his mate in the home he has made and go on about his
business. Those simple plans are thrown into chaos when he
becomes the prime suspect in an attempt on the life of the
leader of the Council of Others. If steps aren't taken the
Tiguri will be thrust out of New York long before
acceptance
by the Other breeds.
Christine Warren brings her blend of humor, romance and
thrilling mystery to ON THE PROWL. I always enjoy visiting
her take on New York City and especially hanging out for a
time with the circle of friends the women who have mated
with Others have built. You can depend on Warren for solid
entertainment in a world that will never grow old, no
matter
how many books she adds. The book following ON THE PROWL,
Drive Me Wild will be published November, 2012.
Most girls would throw a fit if their parents tried to set
up an arranged marriage for them. It’s so outrageously
old-fashioned—even for a Tiguri family, members of a fierce
race of shapeshifting weretigers. But Saskia isn’t getting
her claws out just yet. She’ll go through with this marriage
to help unite two powerful families—and because her
husband-to-be Nicolas Preda is the sexiest, hunkiest, and
only man she’s ever wanted…
Of course, marrying an alpha male like Nic comes with its
share of danger. As leader of his Streak and head of a
global corporation, Nic and his new fiancée must take their
places in the jungles of Manhattan—and the local Others seem
to have a strict “no pets” policy. In fact, the Council
seems to think the Tiguri are at the root of all their
problems, including an attempt on the life of its leader. If
Nic hopes to protect his name and his mate, it’s hunt or be
hunted—and he can’t do it alone. But if anyone can bring out
the beast in him, it’s the sexy, savage tigress he’s sworn
to love…
