About the Author

Christine Feehan - I live in the beautiful mountains of Lake County, California. I have always loved hiking, camping, rafting and being outdoors. I’ve also been involved in the martial arts for years - I hold a third degree black belt, instruct in a Korean karate system, and have taught self-defense. I am happily married to a romantic man who often inspires me with his thoughtfulness. We have a yours, mine, and ours family, claiming eleven children as our own. I have always written books, forcing my ten sisters to read every word, and now my daughters read and help me edit my manuscripts. It is fun to take all the research I have done on wild animals, raptors, vampires, weather, and volcanoes and put it together with romance.

Editorial Reviews

Bestseller Feehan's steamy and dreamy 18th Carpathian novel (after 2006's Dark Celebration) explores the erotic allure of ancient shape-shifters, Brazilian rain forests and vampires. Manuel "Manolito" De La Cruz, one of those dark, irresistible Carpathian hunks who can only thrive with one woman by his side, has found his life mate in MaryAnn Delaney, a Seattle counselor for battered women who flies to his Brazilian family compound to help a pregnant rape victim. It takes a while for MaryAnn to accept Manolito's love, as Feehan, with her usual expertise, draws out the foreplay between the two. Feverish jungle encounters with Jaguar-men and MaryAnn's shocking discovery of her inner werewolf add spice, while growing tensions in the Carpathian world create other problems. Feehan's combo platter of danger, fantasy and wild, uninhibited romance continues to sizzle. (Aug.)

Publishers Weekly

Fighting for his life in a South American jungle and struggling against the vampires who would claim him, Carpathian Manolito De La Cruz knows one thing: he has a life mate and only she can save him. Empathetic counselor MaryAnn Delaney is that woman, but even when she realizes they are linked, and she touches Manolito's mind, she's not about to tie herself to someone that difficult and dangerous. But Manolito has other ideas, and when MaryAnn is drawn to him in South America, he is determined to possess her completely. This dark, chilling read continues Feehan's Carpathian series about the De La Cruz brothers. Fans will be delighted. Feehan (Safe Harbor) writes in a variety of paranormal subgenres from her home in Lake County, CA.
