The obsession of one man and the protection of another—she’ll need all her strength to survive them both…

Legend tells of a comet whose charted path is key to finding the priceless diamond known as Andromeda’s Tear. 1845 marks the return of that comet–and the sudden disappearance of several members of the Ladies’ Astronomical Society.

Mild-mannered astronomer Evelyn Winningham is determined to investigate the disappearances of her colleagues. But her search for clues in her Society journal is cut short by a midnight intruder, forcing her to flee the safety of her home–and headlong into the arms of Alistair Bainbridge, the infamous Duke of Winterset. More worrisome than her unruly attraction to the rakish Duke, however, is his ability to draw out a stubbornness she never knew she possessed.

Alistair’s aunt has enlisted his assistance in finding her daughter, one of the missing astronomers. Thus far, his inquiries have met with dead ends, until a bundle of silk hurdles out of the darkness and into his arms. Evelyn’s ability to sneak beneath his cool exterior makes Alistair damned uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally. But when Evelyn finds proof that Andromeda’s Tear truly exists, they realize time is running out and she’ll have to chart the comet’s path if there’s any hope of survival, let alone a happily ever after.

Her dreams have attracted the attention of a killer…

Over the past year, Sasha Edwards has been plagued by nightmares. She doesn’t realize the grotesque visions of dead women, their features eerily similar to her own, are victims of a serial killer. Or that he can sense her psychic presence and is hunting her now. She’s about to find out her worst nightmare is very real.

He’s not the only one hunting Sasha…

Matthias Caine is the kind of man people follow without question. One glance, a single word, and he gets the job done. He doesn’t take his role as pack Alpha lightly and is determined to stop the rogue wolf murdering innocent humans in his territory. The killer is somehow masking his scent and to find him, Matthias must anticipate the next target.

She isn’t going down without a fight…

One bite is all it takes. Sasha awakens to a new reality. Werewolves aren’t a myth and she’s just joined their ranks. That doesn’t mean she’s going to start taking orders. Matthias isn’t used to being denied. Giving up a little control may set into motion a transformation far more powerful than either ever imagined, because true love never comes easy.
