The Pine Barrens keep their secrets well - and none more closely guarded than the creature that rules its shadows.
When headstrong Eleanor Hartwell ventures into the fog-draped pines of southern New Jersey one bitter autumn day, she expects nothing more than to add to her research. What she finds instead is the sharp bite of a hidden ravine, an injury, and a pair of burning red eyes watching her from the dark.
He is everything the locals fear, with leathery wings that blot out the moon and a shriek that turns the blood to ice. The Jersey Devil, an ancient and wild creature, has no reason to carry her to safety. And yet he does.
Eleanor expects a monster. She does not expect a protector.
As the outside world searches for her, Eleanor finds herself sheltered in a creature of legend, discovering that the horns and the hooves and the hollow howl hide something tender beneath. He cannot become a man for her. He will not pretend to be something he isn't.
But perhaps she was never meant to love something ordinary.
Some love stories begin in darkness. The best ones stay there.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
