in it, and breathed in her scent. One more
thing he would miss about her.
His hand brushed against something as he shifted
his hold on the pillow, and he raised his head to discover a small
piece of paper lying on the bed, where it might have fallen off the
pillow when he had moved it. A rush of pure hope and excitement
coursed through him. He picked up the paper and in the feeble light
of the early morning filtering around the blinds, smiled at the
words scribbled in a handwriting he knew as well as his own, a few
words that gave him all of Lena’s love.
If you can forget happily ever after, I’m
willing to give day by day a try.

On The Edge
Brett Andrews thought he had it all.
His new club, On The Edge, catering to vampires
and humans, is a smashing success, and the beautiful vampire Lisa
is everything he could have dreamed of.
When an old lover of hers, Leo, shows up at the
club, Brett's immediate fear is that he will lose Lisa. But if he
just stops thinking long enough to follow Lisa's lead, he might
gain a lover instead of losing one.
Carte
Blanche
When a lobbyist opposed to vampires’ rights is
found drained of her blood, Special Enforcer Grace Alkins
investigates the woman’s connection to a local BDSM club and its
vampire customers. It has been a long time since Grace played on
this particular scene, but old habits return easily when she puts
on the attire of Mistress Red.
On her first undercover visit at the club,
however, she finds herself tricked into playing a scene with Ray, a
submissive whose Master left town abruptly. The Dominant in her
enjoys the opportunity – while the Special Enforcer is shocked to
realize Ray is a vampire, and possibly a suspect for the murder she
investigates.
Will Grace manage to keep a cool head and find
the killer when every new meeting with Ray cranks up the heat a
little more?
Her Last
Words
Two centuries have passed since the Master
Vampire Gabrielle made the biggest mistake of her life. Two
centuries since her plan backfired, resulting not in the
destruction of demons as she had hoped, but instead in the
slaughtering of countless humans and vampires that had been
fighting against them. Two centuries also, since she pushed away
her favorite Childe, without ever telling him why. Two centuries of
fighting alone to protect the humans she has sworn to defend from
demons. Two centuries of missing Erik.
When he finally reappears in her life, she
thinks she has been offered a second chance. But she soon realizes
that she will need to face her mistakes to reach him, and
understand that silence can be more painful than words.
