Series: Psy-Changeling 11
Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past–one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno…and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.

So, that’s what’s on my wishlist this week – what’s on yours?
I’ve never read Mary Jo Putney. How do you like her series so far or are you trying No Longer a Gentleman first?
Sorry….I’m such a slacker. I’ve had my head buried in a book and in my manuscript. I’ve read several of her books, and she writes really good historical romances. I’m terrible at remembering titles, but I think I have some of hers posted on my Goodreads page.
Tangle of Need, I read all of Nalini’s books.
I have a lot of catching up to do on her books. I was fortunate enough to be stationed next to her at RT while I was working J.R. Ward’s line. Awesome bunch of people.
