It's 1865 and Moldavia is a country nestled against the shores of
the Black Sea. Lady Theresa travels from Austria to this country that's haunted
by tales of vampires and werewolves. She's going to marry the Crown Prince, but
she harbors her own unspoken secrets.
Prince Mihai has just returned to Moldavia to discover he's a
witch. He's intent on being a good husband and modernizing his country, but he
must find a balance with his supernatural heritage. His best friend, Viktor,
accompanies Mihai and marries Mihai's sister. In an unfortunate twist of fate,
a werewolf bites Viktor.
Viktor's transformation threatens everyone around him, including
his wife's safety and Mihai's happiness, but he's especially dangerous when
he's near Theresa. Can Mihai save his family from Viktor's lies and deceptions?
EXCERPT:
Theresa walked down the hall toward Mihai's study,
thrilled to finally receive an invitation from him. They were only a week into
Lent, but each time she was with Mihai, his hesitation and reservations grew
less. His kisses grew bolder, harder, full of passion, and the way he ran his
hands over her body ignited a fire in the core of her being that she could hardly
contain.
Then there was 'the feeling' between them. She
didn't know what else to call it. When she and Mihai were kissing, touching,
caressing, she could swear she felt his emotions, his passions, his desires,
and that only heightened the sensual experiences between them.
And he felt her.
She guessed this had to be because he was a witch.
The thought didn't unnerve her. She'd overheard her family on occasions talking
about witches and their powers, and she always accepted the existence of
witches because they did, but she never thought she'd meet a real witch, let
alone marry one. She believed witches to be good, so she had no fear of Mihai
or his talents.
She stopped in front of the study's door. She
wanted to be good. Beatrice once told her good was boring, but Theresa never
believed that. She was having fun. Mihai stimulated her like no other. He
listened to her. He believed in her causes. She would be a good wife to him and
a good mother to his children.
Yes, she resolved, she would be good. Her shoulders
set, she knocked on the door. "Come in."
She walked in, closing the door behind her. Mihai
stood behind the desk, a map nailed up
on the wall behind him. A bottle of brandy and two
glasses rested on his desk.
"Hello, Theresa."
"Hello, Mihai."
He studied her with an intense gaze.
