His heart could be captured--but his passion could never be tamed....

From the acclaimed author of Prince of Shadows and Body and Soul comes the first novel in a powerful new trilogy, the story of a noble clan whose elegance belies a savage secret--and a man who will stop at nothing to preserve his family's dynasty forevermore--.

Braden Forster, Earl of Greyburn, has devoted his life to restoring the purity of his clan's werewolf blood. He spent years searching in vain for a distant American cousin, a woman whose pure wolf bloodline is a vital link in his family's heritage. Braden had thought Cassidy Holt was lost forever--until she appeared one rainy night on the steps of his London mansion...her raven hair in disarray, her skin scented with sunlight and sagebrush. As Braden whisks young Cassidy to his family's secluded country estate, both can sense their undeniable attraction. But Cassidy soon learns that they can never satisfy their mutual passion; Braden has already betrothed her to another. Her only hope of claiming the one man she'll always love is to unravel the dark and lustful secrets of his past--.

      Braden Forster, Earl of Greyburn, promises his fierce grandfather that he won't allow their family--werewolves who are "a breed apart from mankind, but living among humanity"--to become extinct. In 1860, Forster's grandfather charges him to restore the purity of his clan's blood through shrewd intermarriages. Fifteen years later, Cassidy Holt, the Forster family's distant cousin, travels from the deserts of New Mexico to the earl's secluded estate in the north of England in search of her mother's mysterious past. Unable to transform into a werewolf at will, Cassidy disappoints her new-found family--especially Forster, who has arranged for her to marry his younger brother. However, despite his well-laid plans for the family, Forster finds he cannot resist Cassidy's impressive beauty and courageous will. Cassidy, too, falls for the earl, whose intense passion brings her to the realization that she is also capable of transformation. Krinard's (Prince of Wolves; Body and Soul) readers will be captivated by this first in a trilogy of historical werewolf romances.

      Adding a new dimension to her popular werewolf romances and filling in some of the details of the loups-garous' past existence, Krinard launches a projected trilogy of historicals with this beautifully crafted story of an aristocratic Victorian werewolf obsessed with continuing his grandfather's plan to ensure the survival of his race and a na ve, intrepid young American who has been denied knowledge of her heredity and is seeking her own kind. Clan conflicts, ancient antagonisms, and old secrets combine in this mesmerizing story, which takes a compelling pair of totally opposite yet perfectly matched protagonists and forces them to deal with their own fears and disabilities as well as their unavoidable attraction for each other. Dark, passionate, and emotionally involving, this multifaceted romance gleams perfectly in its wild Northumberland setting and may attract new fans for Krinard as well as satisfying old ones. One of her best. Krinard (Body and Soul, Bantam, 1998) lives in Concord, CA.
