Thunder Moon

By Lori Handeland

There’s something in the air tonight . . .

Practical, sceptical Grace McDaniel was not looking for romance. The sheriff of Lake Bluff, Georgia, and the granddaughter of a Cherokee doctor, Grace’s hands are full with the daily trouble of small-town life. Arriving in the wake of a freak storm is Ian Walker, a mysterious stranger who blends modern medicine and traditional Native American cures. Even though she is wary of his ideas, Grace cannot resist what his touch awakens in her. But Ian is hiding a terrifying secret. And only he knows the truth about a creature stalking the citizens of Lake Bluff. A creature who preys on the dying . . . and then on the young, the living, the vibrant . . . Now, to save her people, Grace must put her faith in Ian’s haunting power and succumb to her wildest passions – before the rumble of thunder fills the air, and a relentless evil strikes again . . .

‘Handeland’s characters, human or wolf, are some of the sultriest, most wicked, and amazingly disturbing beings to play across the pages of a romantic suspense novel’ Booklist
