About this title

Book Description:

In Lair of the Lion, Christine Feehan adds a gothic twist to the classic fairy tale 'Beauty and the Beast' in this eerie and engrossing nineteenth century romance.

From the Back Cover:

Rumour says the powerful Nicolai DeMarco can command the heavens, that the beasts below do his bidding . . . and that he is doomed to destroy the woman he takes as wife. It is whispered he's not wholly human - as untamed as his tawny mane and slashing amber eyes.

Impoverished aristocrat Isabella Vernaducci would defy death itself to rescue her imprisoned brother. She'll even brave the haunted, accursed lair of the lion - the menacing palace of legendary, lethal Don Nicolai DeMarco.

Then Isabella meets a man whose growl is velvet, purring heat, and whose eyes hold dark, all-consuming desire. And when the don commands her to become his bride, she goes willingly into his muscled arms, praying she'll save his tortured soul . . . and not sacrifice her life.

'Her spitfire heroine, tormented hero, their dark and highly sexually charged relationship are so enthralling that I almost missed my bus stop because I was so engrossed in the story'
