Fierce Moon begins when our modern, mystery-loving heroine is swept back in time to Victorian England, where she meets a brilliant, renowned and very sexy detective, a real-life Sherlock Holmes who challenges and captivates our heroine as no man has before. While our heroine adapts her 21st-century ways to the 1890s, her independent spirit, beauty and intellect attract and intrigue the genius detective. Our hero quickly suspects something is different about this passionate woman.
Together they attend a glamorous gala, solve a jewel heist, and enjoy romantic carriage rides. But there's a dark side to Victorian London. The gas-lit streets turn deadly at night, thanks to a vicious serial killer called The Beast.
Our heroine, helped by her best friend who runs the boarding house where many of the victims lived, is determined to stop the Beast's reign of terror over London. She thinks she's safe by the side of her detective hero. What she doesn't know is that his rational, sophisticated demeanor masks a wild side: each month under the light of the full moon, he's cursed to become a werewolf.
Is this renowned detective actually guilty of the horrific crimes he's vowed to solve? Is his own alter ego a danger to the woman he loves? And what will our heroine do when the trail of clues leads her right to the hero's door?
Mystery, time travel, magic, and a werewolf...all in one romantic, breathless adventure! Fierce Moon takes you to a past filled with intrigue, danger, and passion.

Instantly drawn to the magnetic but elusive hero, our determined heroine (helped by her best friend) tracks him down despite his efforts to protect her from the truth. As much as the creature of the night wants to hide, he too can't stay away from the sensitive, intelligent young woman who mesmerizes him.
Finally the two are brought together by another life-threatening incident, and they can no longer deny their feelings for one another. But slowly our heroine realizes there's more to this elegant young man with the old-fashioned speech and knightly demeanor.
She digs at the truth until she learns his tragic past and dangerous nature. Her loyalty is tested: can they really have a future together? She is determined to remain steadfast and believes love will overcome their problems. Our hero has doubts and doesn’t know if the future holds hope … or heartbreak. He's all-too-aware of the danger that surrounds him and is fiercely protective of our heroine (though she's strong enough to take care of herself). While he's able to curb his desire to make the heroine one of his own kind, how long can his strength last in the face of such temptation?
This classic tale of forbidden romance is filled with suspense, tension, as well as a touch of humor. You can personalize four of our lead characters: the sexy, otherwordly, dangerous but sophisticated hero; the smart, compassionate, determined and brave heroine; the hero's cynical yet supportive vampire best friend; and the loyal, fun-loving girl who's our heroine's best friend.
You can even personalize your own sample excerpt like I’ve done below (and yes, that is Jamie Fraser kissing me!):
Abigail and Jamie face the reality of their relationship ...
“Did you enjoy the party?” Abigail tilted her head and reached up a hand to remove her earrings as she watched Jamie in the mirror. That’s another myth gone. His reflection’s as visible as mine.“Let me,” Jamie whispered, circling her ear with one night-cool finger. “Ah, the party. It was interesting. Your friend Julia has a great deal of energy.”
“That’s one way to put it! No fear, no speedometer, no brakes. That’s what she’d say.” Abigail smiled fondly. “She’s a good friend.”
“Yes.” He looked deep into the mirror, seeing something she could not find; he forgot to pretend to breathe, lost in thought. Abigail waited, curious and concerned, idly admiring the line of his jaw, the sparkle of his blue eyes.
A slow nod signaled his return to the moment. “Julia has suspicions about me. About what I am.”
Abigail froze. “Are you sure?”
“She seems to have held her ideas for quite some time, on little evidence. Is she one of those who romanticizes my kind? There are many who seem strangely fascinated with my fictional brethren.”
“Well, Julia likes vampire flicks, but she’s no Goth.What exactly did she say?”
Jamie repeated the conversation verbatim. “As I said, she has little evidence, but still she persists in her conviction, and I cannot argue. She is, after all, correct about what I do.”
Abigail stared at him. “Jamie?” Her voice was high and soft. “Would you show me? I mean…what you do? How you feed?”
“I would rather not.” Her face fell, and he had to look away. “If you feel it necessary, I shall. When you are certain. Not until then.” Gentle as the brush of a shadow, he stroked her cheek, kissed her, and vanished into the night, leaving her alone.
Abigail lay awake long into the night, falling finally into a restless, dream-haunted sleep about Jamie where each ray of sunshine coming through the windows was first his touch, then a brand of fire, alternately pleasure and pain. She woke, sweating and chilled, wondering why she didn’t just turn and run away....
