Fans of paranormal, urban fantasy and romance novels are breathless with anticipation. This month, New York Times best-selling author J.R. Ward returns with Lover Unleashed, entry #9 in her wildly successful Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The books feature powerful vampires whose warrior skills are matched only by their eroticism and commitment to their mates. Despite overwhelming odds, the Brotherhood warriors fight a never-ending battle to save an unsuspecting human world from the evil Omega and the Lessening Society.

Lover Unleashed stars brilliant surgeon Manny Manello, ex-boss of trauma physician Jane Whitcomb, who is now mated to the vampire warrior Vishous. When tragedy strikes, Manny is recruited into the Brother’s secret world. His expertise as a neurosurgeon is needed to save one of their own, Payne, a female warrior with a lineage that’s off the charts. But one look at his patient and it suddenly becomes very personal for Manny: “This female is mine,” he thinks.

Long-awaited by fans, the story of Manny and Payne is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
