Lover Unbound, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 5

New York Times best-selling author J.

R.

Ward has blown away fans with her layered, tantalizing tales of sexy vampires and supernatural intrigue.

In Lover Unbound, an immortal killer falls into the care - and possibly the arms - of a mortal surgeon.

Suffering a horrific childhood as the son of a Bloodletter in his father's war camp, Vishous pledges death to members of the vampire-hunting Lessening Society.

Vishous knows no love.

He feels no emotion.

He lives only to oppose the slayers.

But after suffering a mortal wound, a human surgeon named Dr.

Jane Whitcomb tends to him.

Her ministrations, however, extend beyond his physical injury - and before long her tender hand has awakened feelings of pleasure that Vishous never dreamed existed.
