About the Author:
Award-winning author, Stephanie Rowe, has been obsessed with things that go bump in the night since she was old enough to laugh at them. Never one to play by the rules, Stephanie couldn't quite manage to stick to the tradition of vampire, werewolf or witches, and created a paranormal world that breaks new boundaries with its frenzied, hilarious action and her unique take on the beings of the Otherworld. After experimenting with a legal career, she decided wearing suits wasn't her style and opted for a more fulfilling career making up stories about magical beings that don't actually exist...or do they? She now shares office space with two eighty-five pound lap dogs and a cat that likes to play in the toilet (seriously). When not at the computer, she can be found raiding Starbucks for their toffee bars, watching the Red Sox, injuring herself on the tennis court, or avoiding housework.
From Publishers Weekly:
A hungry, heartsick 11-foot-tall dragon takes center stage in Rowe's second paranormal tale of Manhattan's "Otherworld," fighting the loneliness of big-city apartment life with a wicked, claw-curling cybersex partner. Theresa Nichols, a winning supporting character from Rowe's Date Me Baby, One More Time, has for the past 200 years been stuck in the body of a dragon, due to an ill-advised drink from Mona, the Goblet of Eternal Youth (who lives in Theresa's apartment, disguised as an espresso maker). In order to meet her cyberlover, Zeke Siccardi, Theresa makes a deal with the Devil, a villain torn between world domination and his hunger for love ("Yes, I am Satan, and I deserve more than empty sex"), to turn her back into a woman for her date. Zeke, however, already knows Theresa's secret—he's an ex-dragonslayer, and he's been hired to find her. When it turns out Zeke's employer, another dragon named Lynam Peressini, wants Theresa dead, Zeke does the honorable thing, vowing to protect Theresa—if he can just suppress his imperative urge to kill her. Rowe keeps her strange island afloat with snappy patter, goofy good humor and enormous imagination. Strong but strange, this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it genre-twisters that will make readers either rabid for more or ready for a good old-fashioned Regency. (Nov.)
