Bound (The Silverton Chronicles Book 2)
<b>Bound by blood. Bound by loyalty. Bound by love.</b><br /><br />Florian has it all: excellent fashion sense, a kickass job with his best friend, and a hard-won place among Silverton’s werewolves. When a pack of females pads into their territory, Flo’s alpha dispatches him to handle a merger. Total cakewalk. Except Keely, their alpha, has no intention of submitting her wolves to Flo's larger pack. Worse, a single glance from her baby blues sends his eloquence on vacation and his heartbeat into overdrive. <i>His</i> flirtations seem welcome too, but there's a snag. She doesn’t know he’s a vampire.<br /><br />While Flo struggles with his conflicts—obey his alpha or win over Keely—his estranged sire blasts into town with a catalog of radical ideas. And hanging out with unsophisticated werewolves didn't make the list.<br /><br />With violence in the air and all sides testing his loyalties, Florian must bite back, even if showing his fangs costs him the girl.<br /><br />*This is an urban fantasy romance from Florian's point of view and can be read as part of the series or as a stand-alone novel.*<br /><br /> <b>Why should we read BOUND?</b><br /> <br />BOUND is for those who enjoyed Florian’s company in GUARDED. His easy manner makes him the glue that holds the Silverton group together, but he was a mystery that needed unravelling.<br /> <br /><b>What should we expect from BOUND?</b><br /> <br />BOUND is a different type of urban fantasy than GUARDED, but as before, you can expect fight scenes, a salvo of humor hits, and, of course, a handful of steamy scenes, plus plenty of plot.<br /> <br /><b>So fans of GUARDED are going to love it?</b><br /> <br />I hope so. Florian is a different kind of hero. Even though he doesn’t have the pages dripping with testosterone, his strength is never in doubt. One reader described him as the thinking-woman’s book boyfriend, which made me very happy. If you’re into character-driven plots, BOUND should hit your sweet spot.<br /> <br /><b>Do you have to read GUARDED to understand BOUND?</b><br /> <br />If you’ve read GUARDED, you’ll have no trouble jumping straight in. If you haven’t, it shouldn’t take you long to figure out who’s who. Basically, it’s a standalone. References to past events are kept short and only introduced where absolutely necessary.<br /> <br /><b>This is book 2 in a five-part series. What’s next?</b><br /> <br />The five novels that make up The Silverton Chronicles tell one coherent story. GUARDED introduced the world Ivy & Co. inhabit. BOUND intensifies this knowledge and sets up the remaining three books. In book 3, we’ll be hurtling toward a big upset that proves to be a game-changer. The rest is hush-hush.
