Moon Demon's Lover

The circus is for the brave when the moon is on the climb.

Exposing visions from the grave and curses through time.

He is a monster unbroken. SHE is Destiny's Promise awoken.

America 1883. The Madori Rail Circus delights audiences with its amazing acts and death-defying performances. Despite the ballyhoo of these spectacular shows, the family hides a deadly secret. Behind the striped tents, past the freak shows and clowns, a werewolf lurks who kills when the moon is full. The Curse of Luna blights trapeze virtuoso Lovello Madori. His shapeshifting atrocities are concealed within his family's famous traveling rail show. When fate binds him to a head-strong animal-taming bride, she sparks his interest, though the demon within has no desire to be tamed. Lovello finds one thought dwells. Will his wife taste as sweet as she smells?

Domianna McGuire agrees to wed a stranger to save her sister from the same fate. Enticed by her new husband's touches and dark tendencies, she discovers her own supernatural abilities. On a journey fraught with visions, witches, demons, and ghosts, her lineage as a member of the Madori family is revealed. Domianna realizes destiny's plan: To tame the beast, she must love the man.

Moon Demon's Lover is the first installment in Sheley Rayne's Circus of the Cursed Triquetra, a paranormal excursion that weaves the lives of three head-strong heroines, bound by a family curse, together with a broken jewel and a question. Is destiny a choice, a promise, or a curse?
