title: The Lion and the Rose
author: Dane, Adrianna
description: Man or beast? Mikelas, half man, half beast, caught between worlds, desperately  needs his bride. As tradition demanded, he invoked the magic of the ancient  marriage coin, but his Midas mate didn't answer, and without her, he is doomed  to revert to his animal form forever. At one minute to the stroke of forever, a  new scrying is performed and Rosemarie Edwards receives a very special gift  meant only for a woman of Midas blood.
  Rosemarie doesn't believe in fairytale love—she doesn't have faith in  humanity at all. Certainly not with the memories of her tragic past shrouding  her from any hope of future happiness. But an attractive messenger with an  intriguing gold rose and a special invitation will send her on a savagely  sensual journey that will change her life from a black-and-white existence  filled with painful reminders to the full Technicolor of devastating desire.
  One night of sizzling animal passion in what she thinks is a dream leaves her  with a throbbing, visible reminder of the claim of her dominant mate. How did it  happen and why does she respond so intensely to the scent of the golden rose?  Only by accepting the mysterious invitation to Midian will she find the answers  she needs and maybe discover that there can be a happily ever after.
