Play of Passion

Nalini Singh, Berkley Sensation, $7.99 mass market (352p) ISBN 978-0-425-23779-3

Singh returns to the dynamic community of her changeling wolf pack in the feel-good ninth Psy-Changeling installment (after July 2010's Bonds of Justice). Indigo, a SnowDancer lieutenant, will only date someone who is her equal in rank. As the pack's tracker, Andrew Kincaid is outside of the rigid ranking structure, and he'll use all his charm and persistence to strike the right balance between wooing and challenging aggressive, dominant Indigo. The game between them, alternately playful and deliciously sexy, is set against a backdrop of a war among members of the emotionless Psy Council, a war that puts the entire SnowDancer pack at risk. Longtime fans will welcome the return to the well-drawn and engaging culture of changelings after two installments focused on human/Psy relationships. The overarching series plot looms over the romance, drawing readers further into a world of intrigue, deception, and love. (Nov.)
