In Sunny’s third seductive tale of magic and romance (after 2007’s Mona Lisa Blossoming
) among the shape-shifting alien race known as the Monère, young mixed blood Queen Mona Lisa embraces her sexuality as a means of healing. Unfortunately, she makes a serious mistake by sleeping with Dante Morell, a rogue Monère man struggling with madness, and accidentally becomes pregnant. Not only is Mona Lisa now demon-tainted but she’s also engaged to Lord Halcyon, the Demon Prince of Hell. Further conflicts ensue as she begins to remember killing Barrabus, Dante’s ancestral father, during her former life long ago in Sparta, and touching off a terrible curse. Suspenseful twists promise more heart-throbbing surprises in the next installment of this haunting erotic fantasy series. (Jan.)
