"Lucian Bane is a master storyteller. After 11 books in the series, it just keeps getting better and better!"
I'm Patches, the iron-willed healer of The Hoard in the Atchafalaya swamps.
Life for me has always been a disciplined march, now disrupted by our Eveque's mandate to wed. I've selected three local women, honoring traditions and my Grand Pier’s expectations, the only man whose ever stood as my anchor against a father's relentless scorn.
Then she crashes in – Tegan from Texas, with more than just vital gear for Nitro. She's packing a blaze that ignites something fierce in me. A wildfire that challenges my control, provoking a raw passion that teeters on the edge of rage. Her boldness stirs a deep, possessive urge within me that I can't deny and don't.
But the bayou women I've picked aren't blind to Tegan's stirrings. They're steel beneath the moss, unwilling to yield their place to an outsider. The whispered stand-off brimming in the swamp suddenly raises its voice, issuing a challenge that Tegan recklessly accepts.
Fate is on a role with the coming Noctambule war and the hurricane at our doorstep and my bat-bitten brother and now 13 demonic moles hiding in our swamp. But she sure twists the knife when I find an abused woman in Bullets' Hatch beaten by her husband, a member of the Viking clan who have lived at peace with the Bayou Bishops since its foundation. This crime, punishable by various shades of The Twelve's dark justice, means another clash to add to our fights.
Every decision I need to make is a threat that could upend my life and the precarious balance of our entire community. As usual, time is of the essence. And as usual, it is not on our side.
Note: This story is part of an ongoing series and contains explicit erotic scenes.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
