Synopsis

Dear Reader,
Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.
Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.
But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.
--Talon of the Morrigantes

About this title

From the Publisher:

Welcome to book 2 of Sherrilyn Kenyon's exciting new paranormal vampire and demon series, Dark Hunter. Bursting onto the scene in 2002 with a Dark Hunter prequel, Fantasy Lover and the first book of the series, Night Pleasures, Sherrilyn continues to redefine the genre by bringing a fresh perspective only this imaginative writer can. Her rewards have been great, garnering her an almost cult-like following even before the books were published and her readership continues to grow at a phenomenal rate.

Her fans are not alone in acknowledging her rare talent. Critics, reviewers, peers and fans have awarded these books such top honors as RWA's Top Ten Books of 2002 (Fantasy Lover), RT Booklover's Reviwer's Choice Awards, and the Dark Hunter books stormed the Paranormal PEARL Awards by taking 4 out of 9 of the awards, with a fifth Dark Hunter nominee receiving an Honorable Mention.

These books burst with the kind of sarcastic humor that has made Buffy the Vampire Slayer popular, while keeping the sensuality and comedic often poignant adult situations of Sex and the City. As the author's website proudly proclaims, "Over Two Million Visitors Bitten. Will You Be Next?"

I hope you will join us as the legacy of the Mad, Bad and Immortal dark protectors continues with this latest installment.
