This is a fun historical paranormal romance involving an invisible heroine thief set in Victorian England. So much fun, in fact, that it received the Romantic Times Critic's Award for Historical Romance - Love and Laughter.A woman of extraordinary talents...Lusinda Havershaw turns invisible in moonlight-just her, not her clothes. She can't help it; it just happens. The descendent of a rare race, her ancestors have been burned as witches, persecuted and tormented as the devil's children. She must be careful to avoid detection. However, as her family has no other means of support, she reluctantly sheds her petticoats and corset during a full moon to prowl the gaslit streets of London, stark naked, as a thief for hire.A man with a dangerous mission...The only tools British spy and master safecracker James Locke needs are his hands and his brains. But when a hand tremor threatens his mission to secure a list of agents for the Crown, the accidental discovery of a lady thief with an extraordinary secret may just be his salvation. However, as James and Lusinda discover, there's more than one kind of trouble to be found in the moonlight. The kind that begins with blackmail and ends with a kiss...Bound by Moonlight was originally published in 2008 by Berkley Sensation, an imprint of Penguin Publishing, under the title "The Trouble with Moonlight."Some reviews:"MacMeans' second novel is ingenious, humorous and intoxicating. Cleverly blending the paranormal with the sensual and suspense with a passionate love story, she fulfills readers' fantasies." Romantic Times Book Reviews TOP PICK"I absolutely loved the original premise of Lusinda's people (the Nividimi) and their hinted-at detailed background. Locke was a wonderfully fresh hero character, and he and Lusinda had lovely chemistry. The book was paced beautifully and I found it hard to put it down in order to get some sleep." Errant Dreams Reviews"Donna MacMeans has written a wonderful historical with a unique paranormal spin on the heroine's abilities. Set in late 19th century England and filled with pot pourri of characters, Bound by Moonlight grabs the reader from the onset and takes her on an unforgettable ride. The real treat for the reader is Ms. MacMeans' style of writing--smooth, descriptive and entertaining." Mildred Burkett
