Gryphon is hurting and hunted and he attracts her as no man ever has before. He is a Monère, one of the children of the moon-and what's more, so is she. <br><br> Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Monère serve-and mate with-imperious Queens who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen- perhaps the first of Mixed Blood ever known. But her introduction to the nighttime court of the Monère, simmering with intrigue, casual lust, and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth. 49589 book 5 9 2006 Mona Lisa Awakening (Monère, #1) total:424|5:132|4:138|3:91|2:42|1:21| 424 1590 731 82 5 7 false false Mon Jul 14 05:02:56 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 05:04:52 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 20:37:42 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 21:53:39 -0700 2009 Anne Bishop or Laurell K.
