description: Lady Kathryns father sends her to court to find a husband but being penniless and disinterested doesn't bode well for her success. Bored by the petty intrigues of court her frustration and loneliness are eased when the king charges her with the care of his newest acquisition: a wolf he and his hunters have recently captured. What the king doesn't realize is his remarkable pet was once Gabriel his favorite knight cursed into wolf form by an unfaithful wife. The beasts uncanny intelligence and human-like behavior convince Kathryn that he is more than what he seems. Resolving to help him she doesn't count on the greatest obstacle being Gabriel himself. The longer he stays in wolf form as a captive of the court the harder it becomes for him to remember his humanity and to fight his wolfish urges to maim and kill. Only Kathryns affection and determination stand between Gabriel the wolf and Gabriel the man. But when the one who betrayed him returns to court will Kathryns love be enough to keep Gabriel from exacting a brutish revenge that will condemn the wolf to death?
