About This Book
What happens when a family crisis lands a werewolf in the middle of Las Vegas—the city where secrets are supposed to stay buried but never quite do? Giselle Landry arrives on the Strip with a single mission: retrieve her runaway brother before he destroys everything the Landry pack has built. Luke Dalton, the charming casino owner who crosses her path, is hunting for the same fugitives—but he has no idea what Giselle really is, or what the stakes truly are. The push and pull between them is immediate and undeniable, and Thompson makes the forbidden nature of their attraction feel genuinely costly rather than merely inconvenient.
Thompson writes paranormal romance with a light, confident touch that keeps the pages turning without sacrificing emotional depth. The Las Vegas setting does real work here—glittering, transient, full of people pretending to be something they're not—which makes it the perfect backdrop for a story about hidden identities and reluctant desire. Her dialogue crackles, her pacing is brisk, and she balances the series mythology with enough standalone warmth that new readers won't feel lost. This is genre fiction that trusts its readers to want both the fun and the feeling.
