The 1 New York Times bestselling author of the “utterly absorbing” (Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author) Black Dagger Brotherhood series and The Savior brings you the next sizzling and passionate paranormal romance in the Black Dagger Legacy series.

As a trainee in the Black Dagger Brotherhood’s program, Boone has triumphed as a soldier and now fights side by side with the Brothers. Following his sire’s unexpected death, he is taken off rotation against his protests—and finds himself working with a former homicide cop to catch a serial killer: Someone is targeting females of the species at a live action role play club. When the Brotherhood is called in to help, Boone insists on being part of the effort—and the last thing he expects to meet is an enticing, mysterious female...who changes his life forever.

Ever since her sister was murdered at the club, Helaine has been committed to finding her killer, no matter the danger she faces. When she crosses paths with Boone, she doesn’t know whether to trust him—and then she has no choice. As she herself becomes a target, and someone close to the Brotherhood is identified as the prime suspect, the two must work together to solve the mystery...before it’s too late. Will a madman come between the lovers, or will true love and goodness triumph over a very mortal evil?

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and I always like a second bite at the apple when I read the Legacy books. The third book was a cool way to wind up the Beast storyline with Rhage, Mary and Bitty and get Ruhn and Saxton introduced. This book was a great intro for the Band of Bastards. Tho the story is about Boone and Helania, I liked the way Syn's story was teased and I hope we hear more about him. Like the brothers, this troubled male had what sounds like a harrowing life and I hope...

Always a good book from this author!

Boone had such a struggle within himself and his upbringing and I liked how he dealt with it. I felt so much for Helania as she dealt with her sister's death. She was so shy but trying to...
