Librarian Jan Carpenter likes things just so. Nestled in her tidy little
cottage on the outskirts of the small hamlet of Alpine Grove, she
enjoys her quiet life with her friendly, rotund black lab, Rosa.
Jan's orderly life is turned upside down when she attends her
mother's latest wedding in San Diego. (Number six...or maybe seven, but
who's counting?) There, Jan encounters Michael Lawson, the obnoxious
neighbor kid from twenty years ago. He's still irritating, but not as
annoying as his dog who has a habit of eating...everything. The last
thing Jan wants to do is risk heartache on a vacation fling with a
smooth-talking serial dater, even if he is sinfully gorgeous and finds
her unusual ability to remember obscure facts fascinating.
Amidst wardrobe destruction, canine digestive indiscretions, and
episodes of extreme mortification, Jan's desire to avoid drama may put
the brakes on her fiery attraction to Michael. But maybe being cautious
and responsible isn't all it's cracked up to be. Views: 14

High above the Hungarian village of Lugos rise the towers of Castle Homolky, whose subterranean dungeons contain the remains of a chamber of horrors once used for the torture of enemies, and whose tragic and violent history has caused it to be known as The House of the Wolf. Into this legend-haunted region comes John Coleridge, an American professor and expert on lycanthropy, who is staying as a guest of Count Homolky while attending a conference on European folklore. After a villager is found dead with his throat torn out and a huge black wolf with seemingly preternatural powers is seen stalking the halls of the Castle, leaving scenes of bloody carnage in its wake, Coleridge and his colleagues must hunt the beast. But is the killer a wolf, or could the unthinkable be true: that one of the Castle's inhabitants is actually a werewolf?
