Crimson Decree

Detective Alex Raynes is a smart, strong woman who knows something of the things we call myth have a habit of walking around in spite of our human denials. When a rash of grisly murders leaves a path of blood through the city, the public and other officers think they have a cold-blooded serial killer on their hands. But Alex knows something else is roaming the streets and after dropping one of the monsters in the act, she's none too happy when a small band of government types show up and take the case out of her hands. One look at the muscular leader of the trio tells her they're not exactly what they seem and he might just take more than her case.

Haydon McCoy is part of a unique group, a specialized and secret division of the government, called in when victims of what appear to be some sadistic rape accompanied by an animal attack begin popping up on the city's east side. For the news and police departments the crime appears to be the work of a crazed rapist and a large dog. But Haydon knows better. After all, it takes a werewolf to know one. And of course this case comes with a rather unexpected complication, Alex Raynes. One look at the sexy police detective has him thinking about more than just taking down the bad guys. Haydon's thinking she just may be the one female that can tame the beast inside him.
