"Deceitful Demon"

Syntian is a dark, sensual demon, unsurpassed in sexual pleasures, temptations, and longings when he comes to the lonely, shunned, Lauren Fowler.

On winds not measured in time, a whisper of agony, a tear of pain, a sigh of longing is born to his ears. She is one of many that he has gone to, and yet she will be his downfall as none other has ever been.

Sinful, deceptive, sensual and arrogant, Syntian is the NightWind,and he will make a pact with one whose heart is as evil as his own to avenge and have the lovely Lauren, and her gentle heart; knowing deep inside, where he remembers he once held a heart of his own, that should Lauren know the truth, should she ever discover the truth of him and the lengths he used to avenge her, then she would turn from him forever.

Ms. Compo wielded her pen in a stroke of artistry and imagination as she wrote this sensual, impacting novel. Syntian is evil unbound, gentleness untold, a lover of strength, of purpose, and an avenging monster who will strike out in fury and in agony for the wrongs done to the one he calls beloved.

This is a wonderful novel, as is the sensuous creature her unbound imagination has brought to the pages of NIGHTWIND. With exacting creative perfection Ms. Compo has written a novel unlike all others. A demon whose heart reaches out, finding peace and joy in the arms of the woman he has found. A woman, gentle and graceful, whose joy in her lover is matched only by her pain and ragged fury when the truth is revealed. NIGHTWIND will make your soul cringe with Lauren's pain, your body tremble in longing in Syntians love for her, your soul clench in fear at the ravaging beast he can become.

The carefully mastered words will make you ache for the NIGHTWIND, and yet tremble in fear at the thought of his fury. Definite must read.
