Dark. Brooding. Handsome. Dangerous. Count Anton Varga finds it the ultimate challenge of his control to rein in his feral emotions when the moon becomes full and he transforms into a wolf.
Haunted. Melancholy. Beautiful. Determined. Lady Amelia Andrássy is numb after her husband's death. Only music gives her soul a respite -- music and Anton Varga who inspires her to play the Moonlight Sonata.
She bit the inside of her lip. The rich scent of mulberries and spice hung around him, fueling a growing agitation in the pit of her stomach. He looked like a magnificent beast -- ready to tempt her to sin. "Hello, Anton."
"I'm sorry I didn't call, but I wanted to see you."
She stood rooted in the spot next to the coffee table. Anton walked toward her, his feral gait even, his expression full of confidence. He passed in back of her, pausing. She felt the heat of his breath on her neck. She didn't know what to say. She'd enjoyed his friendship and she had wanted to call him later this evening, but he seemed bolder, determined. He had the look of a man who knew what he wanted. Her hand went to her breast, trying to stop the nervous fluttering of her heart.
"I was looking forward to seeing you as well," she finally said.
He rounded the coffee table and stopped in back of the couch, putting his hands on the couch's backrest and looking directly at her.
Amelia swallowed. The look in his eyes was unmistakable. They danced with the flames of desire. For her?
"I've been giving what you said a lot of thought--" he began.
"What did I say?"
"You challenged me to be a better man."
"I did."
"Well, that's what I want to do."
"Good."
"But I have no idea how to be a better man. My role models were poor. My father was a drunk and womanizer. My brother was a gambler. I don't want to be like either of them."
Amelia was speechless. She didn't know what to say. She rubbed her forehead, trying to reconcile her anxiety with the growing agitation in the pit of her stomach. Truth be told, she found him incredibly attractive with his tussled hair, chiseled cheeks, and full, red lips. And the way he looked at her -- it warmed every fiber of her being. "Ah, would you like a drink?" she finally asked.
He raised a dark eyebrow. "Would you?"
