Back cover copy:
In her sexy and suspenseful new novel, Cynthia Eden introduces readers to a seductive world where powerful night creatures ignite dark, dangerous hungers...
Dr. Emily Drake’s patients tend to be a little unusual. Instead of the typical therapist’s caseload of midlife crises and mother fixations, Emily treats vampires with blood phobias and sex-demons looking for meaningful relationships. But her gift for recognizing and healing the Other—those creatures of the night that most humans don’t even know exist—requires a few house rules. First: Never trust a shifter. Especially not one like Detective Colin Gyth whose gold-flecked eyes and predatory air make Emily realize how much she’s been longing to lose control...
Colin can’t believe the doctor he’s been assigned to work with on the Night Butcher murder investigation is the one person who could expose his true identity as a wolf shifter. Smart, sexy, and stubborn as hell, Emily brings out the alpha male in Colin, unleashing a wild, heady desire that takes them both over the edge.
But in the shadows, the Night Butcher waits...eager to spill Emily’s blood and taste her terror. And he’ll use any means to destroy her, including the one person she has grown to trust...
Note: Bite of the Wolf, The Wolf's Mate, and Caged Wolf comprise my Wolf's Call trilogy.
Who I'd like to meet: People who love romance books.
And, if I could meet some famous folks from history, I'd pick Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, and Elvis Presley.
Yay on the first draft done. What a lovely feeling. And if the character has to go, well, he shoulda been gracious enough to step off before you had to do him in. Now it's probably gonna hurt more because you've had time to think about it :)
Just read your blog about surprises. It IS cool when you can surprise even yourself. Although I always wonder which part of my brain was working on that surprise. Can I trust her?
I can't wait for Cynthia's week to be a Godiva Chocolate author!!! She's coming to my site the week of August 11th. I will interview her on Monday and Tuesday; Wednesday and Thursday you'll see juicy excerpts from her books with fun, sexy questions at the end of each to generate exciting discussion. All week we encourage you to comment and join in on the discussions. Then Friday, I'll hold a drawing for one of Cynthia's autographed books. So mark your calendars for August 11th and join in on the fun at candyready.com!
So far the best thing about this MySpace friending has been finding all these great book for my TBR shelf. I'm so technologically backward :) Ah well, I'm catching up. In technology, I mean, not my TBRs.
Hi Cynthia, I am kind of ready for RWA. Practical stuff, yes. :) Still can't quite believe I'm going though. And my timetable... just looking at it makes me tired. lol. Wish you were going to be there. Not long until Orlando though. :D hugs saskia
Thanks Cynthia! I'm still figuring it out. I used to call myspace the trailer park of the internet cause of all the weird clashy pages, but now I understand. Eek. lol.
Awesome presentation today, Cindy! Thanks for the free nachoes and the fun chat with Joan and James! Can't wait til next month. I'll let you know about the Kensington thing...
