Lucinda, a witch, is about to give birth to the child of a man who's put a price on her head. He also wants the child dead, as it could mean his ruin. In labor in a hidden cabin, the baby is breech and Lucinda is alone. Enter Jackson Wulf, son of the notorious Wulf family. Cursed by a witch centuries ago, the men are doomed to become werewolves if ever they fall in love. Jackson thinks he may break the curse by killing a witch, which is why he's tracked down Lucinda. But thinking of killing a witch and actually killing a woman who's suffering through childbirth are two different things. However, she may die anyway, unless she can talk Jackson into helping her deliver her baby, then keeping her child safe in return for helping him lift the curse. It sounds like a good plan to Jackson; he just didn't count on falling in love with her.

This second book in The Wild Wulfs of London series was great fun to read. The setting is authentic, the characters as wonderful as in THE DARK ONE (the first installment) and the story perfectly in tune with the ongoing storyline. I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to the next one.
