Smolder

Satisfaction can be found in the darkest places.

From Melinda Morel, the award-winning author of Prey and Devour

Vengeance has its price.

But you pay for passion forever...

Descended from werewolf hunters, Catherine Marais has vanquished countless of their vile kind-including the one that slaughtered her father. Her debt of blood and honor was fulfilled-but her heart is empty.

The only one who ignites Catherine's passion is Ian-a handsome, elegant vampire whose seductive touch she cannot resist. But when he offers her the dark temptation of eternal commitment to each other, Catherine must look within her heart-and her truest desires-to find the answers she seeks...

Skilled werewolf hunters, vicious werewolves, friendly vampires, stealthy werecats, and morally ambiguous clones fill the world of this lackluster paranormal romance. For French Countess Catherine Marais, hunting werewolves isn't just a job-it's her inherited duty. But the family vocation doesn't arouse as much passion in her as vampire Ian Morgan. When Catherine is identified by werewolves across France, Ian arrives to help her on the hunt, determined to keep her from harm and hoping that she will join him in vampiric eternity. Catherine isn't sure she's ready for eternal night-and is also reconsidering whether the family profession is actually what she wants from life. While the plot seems to revolve around the werewolves' hunt for Catherine, she never seems challenged by them; Catherine and her team are so efficient that they rarely seem in danger. Despite the European setting, these hunters and vampires are utterly forgettable. END
