The Wolf’s Torment
by Stephanie Burkhart


BLURB:

It's 1865 in Moldavia, a country nestled against the shores of the Black Sea, and Crown Prince Mihai Sigmaringen returns after receiving an education in England. His best friend, Viktor Bacau joins him. Mihai is intent on modernizing his nation, but he's also a witch, and it's time he embraces his heritage. The tasks in front of him are many including getting married. 

Lady Theresa von Kracken arrives in Constanta as Mihai's intended. Mihai has vowed not to fall in love again, but Theresa manages to break the battlements around his heart.

In an unfortunate twist of fate, Viktor is bitten by a werewolf. Viktor's transformation threatens everyone around him including his wife's safety and Mihai's happiness with Theresa. Viktor's bite is the wolf's torment.

EXCERPT

 "Introducing Austrian Duke, Georg von Kracken, and his daughters, Ladies Theresa and Beatrice."

All the eyes in the ballroom turned on Theresa. The weight of the silence fell onto her shoulders. Why did it feel like she had an itch on her nose that under no circumstances she should scratch right now, though she was tempted.

Her father placed his hand in the small of her back and escorted her right up to the Moldavian royal family. King Stelian stood in the middle, Princess Sonia was on his left, and Prince Mihai was to his right.

She lightly nipped at her lower lip with her teeth. Her dream had done Prince Mihai no justice. He stood straight and tall, his stance emphasizing the force of his thighs and the slimness of his hips. His body was beautifully proportioned with dark, smoldering green eyes framing his handsome face. What firm lips he had. She tried hard not to stare at him, but his good looks had totally captured her attention.

Her father tapped her lightly against her back. Damn. She had to curtsey. Lowering her eyes, she did just that. Beatrice curtsied as well.

"King Stelian, Crown Prince Mihai, Princess Sonia, may I introduce you to my daughters, Theresa and Beatrice."

Theresa's gaze swept over Mihai. His red, rich lips curved into a smile and he took her hand, placing a delicate kiss on her knuckles. A pleasant wave of heat slid up her arm and she took a quick breath to steady herself.

"Lady Theresa, you are more beautiful in person than in a dream." Mihai's wonderfully deep voice warmed her to her toes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

  1. Rachel, thank you so much for hosting! Autumn is in the air and the neighbors are starting to put their spooky decorations. I have to ask - does anyone else decorate their houses or lawns? What do you like to do? I usually hang the ghouls on the trees and put up the tombstones, but I haven't gotten my decorations up yet. Who likes to give out any candy? What's your favorite to give out? My 7 year old has a peanut allergry so I like to give out Jr. Mints because it's peanut free.

    Any questions about the book, just ask. I'd love to hear them.

    1. Oh, I hear a lot of different things. There's a lot of party calls, but then you get some really heart pounding stuff, too. It's never dull and I never take it home which is great.

    1. Mary, I can honestly say I am behind the curve on the decorations. Hopefully tomorrow I can go through the garage and find the Halloween box. sigh...

    1. Mairi, when it comes to my paranormal stories, I try to pick settings where you might believe a paranormal creature would exist. If anything, it just means a lot of research on my side of the house.
