When he emerged, he'd developed superacute senses. He kept them secret, but they made the world outside Blackthorn Manor almost impossible to bear . . . Only Lucas's childhood crush, Gilly Quinn, was determined to lure Lucas from his lair. But she had another project, too --- to clean up her dangerous neighborhood. And when that landed her in hot water, a mysterious crime avenger magically appeared! Gilly quickly began to fall for "Nightshade," her sexy rescuer --- and to wish that he and Lucas could be one and the same man. And then suddenly she began to suspect her crazy wish was more than a fantasy...Inside excerpt:"Help!" Jilly cried.Then a man appeared. He was tall and wide shouldered, swatched in a long black coat. His collar was raised and his features were concealed behind a dark scarf. A black fedora was pulled down low over his forehead. He was very dashing. Very Humphrey Bogart. Just under the hat brim, Gilly caught the reflection of sunglasses. He was wearing sunglasses? At night? In the deepest shadows of a dark alley?“Who are you?” she whispered as her savior swept down on the thugs who'd been chasing her and vanquished them. Then the man came close, and whispered, “You'd be advised to stay off the streets.” Movement farther down the alley caught Gilly's attention—but only for a heartbeat. Then Gilly turned back to the mystery man.Gone. He had been Gilly's dream man—and now he was gone!
