"fine supernatural romance"
Seven years ago Elise Hanover left behind her beloved
sweetheart Dominic "Nic" Franklin for his sake as she
feared her lust for him, which activated the lycanthropy
virus inside her, might lead to her killing him. Elise
became a research virologist seeking the cure to the
disease that controls her while hiding in Montana working
for the monster killing Jager Suchers of Edward
Mandenauer. She keeps werewolves incarcerated in a
basement prison as she experiments seeking the elixir that
will cure her FBI Agent Nic arrives, but after she beats him up, he
explains an email sent him to her remote lab. He needs
Elise's help as apparently many people have vanished under
mysterious circumstances that imply a supernatural serial
kidnapper perhaps killer behind it. As the wolves howl,
her lab explodes with Nic and Elise observing in shock.
Needing to get to Wisconsin to consult with their peers
they travel together and Elise finds her love for Nic
intensifying the virus that flows through her blood. She
fears what will happen if he remains at her side when the
full moon surfaces or what will happen to him if she is
not there to protect him. The third "Moon" supernatural romance (see BLUE MOON and
HUNTERS MOON) is a fantastic tale starring two strong
likable protagonists with a history and ever present
desire between them that threatens the mission. The story
line is action-packed but it is the nature o f Elise's
predicament that makes the novel a howling success. She
knows that she must get her beloved to leave her as she
did him, but if that fails she must protect him from
werewolves and other monsters, but especially from her. Harriet Klausner

SummaryWhen 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...
