Love...
Cedric Williamson has been hoodwinked into a most

for advice?

might help - the pretty scholar always has her
nose in a
book and she seems to know everything worth knowing.
But she betrays a charming inexperience when it comes
to matters of the heart - a subject in which Cedric
would have to declare himself the expert.
The Answer is Forever...
Jane Gabriel finds Cedric's attentions a distracting
nuisance. She cannot imagine why he pays her so many
compliments, brings her flowers, and flirts with her
shamelessly. A handsome rake of such renown cannot
possible be interested in her . . . or can he? That
is the most intriguing question of all.

When dusk falls, nightmares become reality-
Dr. Elise Hanover quite literally lives for her job-since
quitting would mean meeting a silver bullet with her
name on it. She works alone, struggling to unlock the
mysteries of an affliction that should only exist in
nightmares. But Elise knows from personal experience
just how real it is. Because the first time its deadly
power pulsed through her veins was the last time she
saw the love of her life. Until now...
and forbidden
passion is unleashed…
The surprise visit from FBI agent Nic Franklin is merely
the first in a series of shocks. After her lab is firebombed
and her most bloodthirsty test subject escapes, Elise
and Nic have no choice but to join forces. Unfortunately,
the situation in remote Fairhaven, Wisconsin is far
from safe: Nic has too many questions about Elise's
work and why she deserted him years ago; townsfolk
are disappearing, and Elise feels her own condition
intensifying in ways as terrifying and exhilarating
as her rekindled attraction to Nic. Now, as a shadowy
evil closes in, it's becoming all too clear that Elise
is the only one who can stop it-if it doesn't stop
her first...
