For five years Renaud Brunet has worked for his uncle as a deputy in Xavier  Parish, far away from the ballet world of New York, London, Moscow,  Australia -- all of it. He's also avoided feminine entanglements, in spite of a  very lusty female werewolf on his tail. All his good intentions go out the  window, though, when he comes home to find a woman he can't run from waiting on  his porch. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have any trouble avoiding him.
