Passion

The Passion is an erotic and intense saga of love and betrayal; a story of those who walk the fine line between man and beast. In a world in which werewolves hold the positions of power, human and werewolf segregation has become the norm. But a murder in the contemporry Manhattan reveals a long-kept secret ... that a human was accepted by the pack. In dazzling 19th-century Paris, we meet three pivotal players: Alexander Devoncroix, the charismatic werewolf who adores humans too well; Elise, the imperial leader of the pack who holds Alexander in her sway: and Tessa LeGuerre, the young human and beloved "pet" wh naively embraces all things werewolf -- an ambition that can only result in unspeakable tragedy.

Enter the inner sanctum of the werewolves and meet a species so beautiful one's breath catches; creatures who possess extraordinary cunning and superior intelligence; a species that counts among its members masters of finance, pioneers of science, and titans of industry and the arts. In finely crafted prose with lush detail, author Donna Boyd weaves a spellbinding tapestry of supreme romance and pulsating suspense, creating a majestic dynasty of exquisite creatures whose story is an epic of devotion and treachery, of radiant sophistication and unquenchable sensuality, of savage brutality, and, finally, of love.
