If you’ve read the previous “By Moonlight” books, you’ve met the baddest of the bad guys . . . and SURPRISE, it’s a woman. Genevieve Savorie has been searching for her nephew Max since her pregnant sister ran away with the man she’d been promised for her mate . . . not to shelter the poor orphaned boy, but to control his inheritance of tremendous power. When she sweeps down from Chicago to New Orleans like a bitterly cold Nor’easter, it’s not to embrace him, it’s to destroy all he hopes to build within his mutinous clan. Meet Aunt Gen . . .
Enjoy a little rockin’ anthem to those who play by their own rules . . . but ultimately lose by them.
Evil whispered in his ear, “Hello, Michael. Friends again?”
He turned to face the lovely creature he’d once admired, back when having a soul was a deficit and cold cunning, the highest aspiration.
“You use that word as if you know what it means.”
“I’ve no use for things that get in the way of what I want or what our people need. Have you remembered what those things are or have you called me here for a different reason, one that would allow you to live beyond our reunion.”
She was so beautiful it was difficult to believe such evil thrived beneath that glamorous surface. Tall, fashionably garbed, flawlessly pale, dark in hair and soul, a lovely surface covering the blackest ichor, her resemblance to her sister went only skin-deep. She craved power the way poor Marie, had sought love, with an unquestioning fervor that brought about her destruction - a fate Genevieve would share if her nephew had his way.
In that moment, Father Michael Furness decided he would not fall with her.
