Dear Reader,

One of my favorite types of heroes is the hard-boiled detective…oh, not too hard-boiled, but the kind of rough-and-tumble guy who can dish it out and take it, who's world-weary and cynical but just ready to fall for the right woman.

Ross Kavanagh is just that sort of guy. First introduced in Chasing Midnight, he's an ex-cop who was thrown off the force for a crime he didn't commit. Being a cop was his whole life, and now he's rudderless, waiting for a chance to prove his innocence…when he is reunited with his former love, proper Englishwoman (and werewolf) Gillian Maitland.

For Gillian, seeing Ross again is painful but necessary— her son, Toby, has run away to America to find his father… none other than Ross himself. Ross didn't know that his brief affair with Gillian had produced a child, and now he's determined to claim his fatherly rights. The problem is that he's only a quarter werewolf, unable to Change, and thus—by the laws of Gillian's traditionalist werewolf clan— an unfit mate.

Now Ross has two things to prove: that he's worthy of Gillian, and that he's innocent of the crime that changed his life forever. But first he has to acknowledge his love for the woman who left him so many years ago, and she must defy her father and risk abandoning the life she's known—by recognizing that her love for Ross outweighs even the dangers of defying her clan and provoking its jealous enemies.

I hope you'll enjoy reading Come the Night as much as I enjoyed writing it.
