A.D. 1370
For hundreds of years, a pack of shape-shifting immortals has been content to stay hidden deep within the Scottish wood, far from the dangers of the human world. But when the pack leader, Ulric, is betrayed by his longtime lover, he recklessly ventures beyond the borders of the forestтАФand starts roaming the streets of Bridesmere. It is there that he encounters Juliana Buxton, a dutiful daughter of a successful merchant. Ulric finds JulianaтАЩs wholesomeness deliciously irresistible, and consents to help her escape the clutches of her much older betrothedтАФif only to seduce her. ┬а
┬а
For Juliana, UlricтАЩs gentle fury inflames her desire and finally introduces her to the wickedly sensuous delights of searing passion. And as she begins to uncover the truth about his secret identity, something altogether new grows within in herтАФa forbidden longing to become immortal herself and remain by UlricтАЩs side. But will Ulric grant the innocent maiden her bold wishтАФor will he cast her from his life and send her back to the treacherous world beyond the caves. . . .
