As a half man, half bull, Ray had legendary power, but only one woman could prove his innocence. The woman who'd driven him to the brink of insanity with her cool-eyed interrogation and her hot-blooded sensuality.But Vegas psychologist Layla Bahset had no memory of Ray or her past. Only a feeling of being stalked by a nonhuman predator. Was it Ray...whose eyes condemned her soul even as his hands ignited her body? Or was another evil force at work? But nothing could stop Layla from remembering what she was...and what her evil creator had planned for her and her soldier lover....Inside excerpt:“Whatever it is, Layla, it’s going to be all right.” It wasn’t going to be all right. She was the twisted minion of an evil god. What comfort could a mortal man like Ray really offer her? And yet his arms were the only safe place she’d ever known. “You have no idea who I am or what I’ve done.”“I know what you’ve done. I was there, remember?”“I’m nothing, nothing but what he made me!”“Don’t say that,” Ray murmured against her lips. “It’s not true.”But it was true. And yet, as Ray rocked her, it wasn’t fear that surged through her.She kissed him. Because it might be the last time she could. She’d never thought that Ray was hers to keep, but she hadn’t realized before now that she wasn’t even her own to give.
