The HEA Lover*: Jocelynn, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Jocelynn: Is there more to life than writing?

Lover Unbound
by 
J.R. Ward 

The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society.
