In this exciting debut, author Keri Arthur explodes onto the
supernatural scene with a sexy, sensuous tale of intrigue and
suspense set in a world where legends walk and the shady paths of
the underworld are far more sinister than anyone envisioned.

A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin
brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, an
organization created to police the supernatural races --- and
protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted
guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker ---
until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing
couldn't be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable
to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when
her need to mate becomes all-consuming....

Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need.
But she will have to control her urges if she's going to find her
brother....Easier said than done as the city pulses with frenzied
desire, and Riley is confronted with a very powerful --- and
delectably naked --- vamp who raises her temperature like never
before.

In matters carnal, Riley has met her match. But in matters
criminal, she must follow her instincts not only to find her
brother but to stop an unholy harvest. For someone is doing some
shifty cloning in an attempt to produce the ultimate warrior --- by
tapping into the genome of nonhumans like Rhoan. Now Riley knows
just how dangerous the world is for her kind --- and just how much
it needs her.
