Louisiana – Present Day

Elite operative Sasha Trudeau considers herself a soldier first and everything else, including being a woman, as purely secondary. Surviving a werewolf attack has changed her, increased her strength, and therefore her ability to do her job. Becoming a werewolf, or Shadow Wolf, is a new and interesting experience. Succumbing to the pull of the moon and her own desires is not. In fact, being in heat is seriously impacting her ability to do her job at probably the most critical juncture.

Rogue wolves hyped up on a designer drug are savaging humans and paranormals alike. If Sasha and her team don’t stop them, the disease could spread into the human population. Even more troubling is the discovery that Hunter, her mate, has been infected with the disease. Will he become a rampaging, flesh-eating monster she’ll have to put a bullet in, or can he fight long enough for them to find a cure? Most humans are unaware of the things that go bump in the night, and Sasha is determined to help keep it that way. But politics and double-dealing vampires are making things very difficult.

The second book in the Crimson Moon series, BITE THE BULLET starts out with a sizzling bang. For the first time in her life, Sasha Trudeau is at the mercy of her body. The sexual heat she feels is warm enough to melt the snow she and Hunter are running through. As much as she tries to keep her mind on the mission, Hunter’s blazing hot body constantly draws her attention. Soon though, Hunter’s condition makes itself known, and Sasha is left with the possibility of having to kill her mate. Add the need to save her team, stop the drug distribution, and save the world and Sasha’s got a big job on her hands.

A strong alpha-female paired with an equally strong mate leads to an amazing ride in L.A. Banks’s BITE THE BULLET. Join Sasha, Hunter, their friends and family as they band together to stop a spreading threat.
