Diana's Hound

Nate Powell lived one full life as a world-class inventor before a disaster born of magic and science returned him to his prime-and turned him into a half-vampire, half-bloodhound abomination. He's finally stopped yearning for death, but he's a long way from being excited about life-even if his newly virile body is very excited by the latest arrival to Iron Creek. Diana is another creature that shouldn't exist-a female bloodhound. While the males of Iron Creek accept her as a fellow warrior, Nate seems torn between a desire to study her and a need to protect her. Diana's urges are a lot more carnal. When they learn that a rogue hound is selling women across the border, Diana and Nate are chosen to infiltrate the vampires' capital city. But before long their inner bloodhounds feel the mating pull-and a hound never outlives their mate for long. In a fight to keep each other alive, they could both end up worse than dead.
