Bred by capricious parents for his innate leopard-shifting abilities, billionaire Jake Bannaconni has spent his life in an emotional vacuum – especially after a tragic twist of fate left him to raise his infant son alone. But when his path crosses that of an enigmatic young woman, Jake’s life takes a detour he never fathomed.
There is something irresistible about Emma Reynolds – something Jake can’t live without. Hiring her as his son’s nanny will keep her close. And warm. And under watch. She’s the first human to stir something in Jake, something he’s never felt before. But Emma may not be all what she seems. And what’s raging between them is pure animal instinct – out of control, burning wild and as hot as the lick of a flame.
Christine Feehan - I live in the beautiful mountains of Lake County, California. I have always loved hiking, camping, rafting and being outdoors. I’ve also been involved in the martial arts for years - I hold a third degree black belt, instruct in a Korean karate system, and have taught self-defense. I am happily married to a romantic man who often inspires me with his thoughtfulness. We have a yours, mine, and ours family, claiming eleven children as our own. I have always written books, forcing my ten sisters to read every word, and now my daughters read and help me edit my manuscripts. It is fun to take all the research I have done on wild animals, raptors, vampires, weather, and volcanoes and put it together with romance.

December 22, 2009: I have read every Christine Feehan book that I can find and until this one, I thought she was exceptional in her genre. What happened? This is an inexcusably bad book. The leads are both emotionally destitute. Jake is emotionally and physically abusive. Emma is a complete woos with very little to make her even noticable. What is with the domination/submissive 'love'? Whoever is responsible for this book should take a long, hard look in the mirror and then take a vacation from writing (a long one). The damage done to the Leopard Series could be irreparable. Rio and Rachel of Wild Rain deserved better. The I would not recommend this book - in fact I threw it away. Christine, bring back the types of characters that made you famous. You can do better than this.

October 18, 2009: I read the mixed reviews and was very hesitant to read this book, but I did and I am so glad. I fell in love with Jake. His confusion about what love is and how to show love, amazing. Emma's character was a surprise. Quite yet strong, and insightful. Their romance swept me away. Despite my hectic life, I devoured this book in a day and a half. I can't wait for the next one.
