Blurb:
Anne caught her husband cheating with the maid of Honor before their wedding cake was cut. She decided to take her planned and paid for honeymoon in Tuscany, alone. On the evening of what was to be her wedding night, she gets bitten by a female vampire.
Marcus Monteleone has waited three
hundred years to find his fated female, only to discover her dying in
his arms. He saves Anne’s life by turning her, and then works to
gain her trust, to cope with being a newly-formed golden vampire.
But when Anne finds out Marcus has not
been completely truthful about his past, she vows to live as a human,
and shuns the vampire world. Alone and unprotected, she falls prey to
the very villainess who took her human soul, and who now takes the
only man she’s ever loved.
Which lover will have to make the
ultimate sacrifice to save the other before they both are lost?

Excerpts
“Does
your husband know about your appetites?” From behind Anne came a
gravelly male voice that sent shivers down her spine. The screams of
the Starbuck’s espresso machine made her wonder if she’d really
heard the voice. But the male scent of him was impossible to miss.
The hairs at her neck stood at attention, telegraphing urgency. The
urgent sensation extended well beyond her waistline. Time stood still
before she could bring herself to turn around and fall under the warm
gaze from this tall dark male that covered her.
Not
man. Male.
He
held her gaze as she stood, transfixed, unable to move or to speak.
That was the way it felt. Being held. “I’m sorry?” she blurted
out finally.
“Don’t
be sorry, my dear. It’s a simple question.” The ends of his lips
curled up at the corners. When he inhaled, his chest extended, and he
appeared several inches taller. Then he exhaled and she was covered
with the same musky scent, incapacitating her, wrapping around her
like a warm shroud. It was familiar.
She
heard mournful viola music drip with slides and rifts that pulled on
her heartstrings. She felt dizzy. Did she hear him murmur a groan? Or
maybe it was a small earthquake? Probably an ordinary person wouldn’t
hear or feel it. But she did.
Anne
was on alert; this male took liberties with her feelings.
What
a crazy thought. Ridiculous.
He
leaned forward, grazing just the edge of her forearm with his warm
hand. An electric spark pricked her. He leaned against the counter
and looked at the barista, not her. “I’ll pay for the lady’s
drink.”
She
noticed the strong pulse at his neck. Healthy. Smells wonderful.
“And
what would you like, sir?” The young barista was pert. Anne didn’t
like her perfect white teeth. That and the fact the girl’s shirt
was made for a ten-year-old, showcasing her pierced bellybutton.
“I
have all I need.” The rumbling words sparked shivers again down
Anne’s spine. He said it just next to her ear, barely touching
touched the small of her back . . . He was facing the barista, but
deep inside Anne knew the words were meant for her ears only.
“You
didn’t have to do that.” Anne suddenly found the urge to speak.
“My
pleasure.” He removed his hand and gave a slight bow.
A
bow? No one had ever done that before. Anne had just fed. She wasn’t
hungry enough to play the game this afternoon, having gorged herself
on a salesman who liked to eat garlic fries. His blood was thick with
fat globules she could almost see as well as taste. But it went down
smooth.
So
maybe she would play along. This stranger might be a good candidate
for a snack tomorrow. She had never fed twice in one day. She
wondered what being too full would feel like in her current state. It
would probably make her horny. Well then, maybe she should
reconsider. She should do a wet feeding. That way she wouldn’t have
to be too careful, could gorge herself on him. He’d be wonderful to
look at in the shower, and his hands might do something unexpected to
her. Something memorable in a string of unmemorable feedings.
His
hand gently touched the small of her back again, and she allowed
herself to be ushered to a corner table, flanked by two purple velvet
overstuffed chairs. They sat, facing at right angles to each other.
The counter girl called out Anne’s drink. He was up and walking
over to pick it up for her before she had a chance to react.
She
watched him cross the coffeehouse like a thirsty traveler eyeing a
pitcher of water. He was probably six foot six. His dark hair was
pulled back in a short ponytail. His black leather bomber jacket
showed his nice ass and those long lanky legs that went all the way
to Heaven. Even for his size, he appeared graceful. Unassuming.
Confident. And the nicest looking male from behind that she had ever
seen.
And
then he turned, holding the little white paper cup with two fingers,
the other ones splayed out, large as antlers. She could see how long
his fingers were, how substantial. She envisioned what those hands
could do to her. But as sexy as he was, he also made her mouth water
to feed.
His
prominent jaw line sported blue-black stubble. His strong pulse would
be no problem at all, but she would have to bite a little harder to
crack the skin. Maybe he would let her take him slowly. Then she
could kiss other parts of him in between while his heart pumped more
of the blood she craved. His lips were bright red and full. She would
enjoy sucking them, licking them. Perhaps biting them.
His
eyes found their way to hers, and when she met his gaze, she became
self-conscious of her thoughts, as if she knew somehow he could read
her mind. Anne told herself it was her craving for blood that caused
the almost sexual attraction for this male. After she fed, surely she
wouldn’t feel this way, she thought.
He
delicately deposited the white cup delicately in her hands. One
finger touched and almost seemed to rub against hers. She thought she
was imagining the touch, of course. Between her legs, a warm pool had
formed. It was a curious place to feel hunger, a hunger of another
kind. She blushed at her erotic thoughts.
“You
like cappuccino?” He seemed intrigued by the idea.
“Yes.
I need the caffeine in the afternoon.”
“And
here I thought your cheeks were flushed and ripe from a good meal.”
Those black eyes peered right to her soul. Almost as an afterthought,
he smiled, and the dark became brown, ringed with a coppery color
that drew her in.
I’ll
play your game.
“Yes.
After a big meal, I get tired sometimes.”
He
nodded. “I remember that.”
Anne
looked out the window. This was beginning to feel dangerous. She
grabbed her drink and stood. He stopped her by placing one hand on
her wrist. His action was soft, but deliberate. This male won’t be
denied.
“Please,
sit just a little longer. Then I’ll let you go home to your
husband.”
“Go?
You’ll let me go? What kind of talk is that? I think . . .” She
began to rise again, but his firm grip on her forearm stopped her.
“Hear
me out just a bit.” He did appear to be begging. Could it be she
saw a flash of pain there? No way.
“How
do you know I’m married?” she snapped out, letting her impatience
show.
“You
wear a wedding ring.” He fingered her ring slowly, sensually. She
let him touch her, perhaps a bit too long. She was going to correct
his misconception but decided to leave him thinking she was protected
by another man. Safer that way.
But
was she looking for safe?
There
was an obvious physical attraction between them. She had not felt
this before, not since before she was made.
“Do
I know you?” she asked, ignoring the comment about her marriage.
“No.
Ask it another way.” The huskiness of his voice made her ears buzz,
like he was brushing his lips across them, like they were in bed
whispering unmentionable things to each other.
“Do
you know me?” Her eyebrows rose at the ridiculous suggestion.
He
very lightly nodded. “Oh, yes. I have waited a long, long time for
you.”
“Okay,
that’s it. I’m outta here.” Anne jumped up, her coffee in her
hand. She slung her purse over her right shoulder and stormed off. He
followed her outside, keeping pace like they were walking in unison.
She stopped suddenly.
“Look.
Whoever you are, I will call the police if you don’t leave me
alone.”
“And
tell them what?”
“Tell
them there is a very strange male following me, bothering me.”
He
groaned again. The ground beneath her feet rumbled when he did that.
“I like that you say male.”
She
backed up, raising her palms up and out in his direction. “Please,
please leave me alone.”
“Agree
to meet me here tomorrow at this time and I won’t follow you.” He
smiled. “I promise.” He held his hand over his heart. Anne felt a
small tug at her own.
“Alright,”
she said, fully intending never to come back to this place again.
“Tomorrow at four. But I will call the cops if you don’t stop
this, this, way you are being—”
He
grabbed her upper arm and pulled her close his chest. She struggled,
but he held her tighter the more she wiggled. The spice on his cheeks
was a familiar scent to her and, relaxed her just enough so she
wouldn’t collapse entirely being so close to him. He leaned down
and whispered into her ear, “Go for now, little one. But as for
leaving you alone, there isn’t a chance in Hell that will ever
happen. See you tomorrow.”
And
then he was gone. Just gone. Nowhere to be found. She turned around
and around and there was no trace of him. No car leaving the parking
lot. No door being opened. Just the normal day all around her.
She
was hungry and, scared. She liked feeling both emotions equally.
She
knew it was going to be forever until four o’clock tomorrow.
A
feeding would take up the next hour. Only twenty-three more to go.
