Chastely Bitten

Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. This is no longer that time. Juliet It is my duty to obey, to give my body and blood to a vampire master until he no longer has use for me. There is no escape. Nowhere to run. Follow the rules or die. I don't want to die. Darius Twenty-two years of conditioning has crafted the perfect poison--a weapon my enemies won't see coming. I'll break her, train her, and use her to take down everyone who stands in my way. She's alluring. She's perfect. And she's mine. Welcome to the future where the superior bloodlines make the rules. Proceed at your own risk. **** "Darius," I breathed as darkness dimmed the stars. Some part of me knew we were heading down a dangerous path. I struggled to emerge enough to warn him, to beg him... "D..." My mouth felt dryer than it should. Heavy. I tried to lick my lips but couldn't move my tongue. Everything felt so much cooler than moments ago. Numb. Darius. Midnight consumed my vision as I blinked into a starless night. So alone. I always expected to die... I never expected to want to live. Until today. Until Darius inspired hope. Another cruel Vampire joke. I should have known...

Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. This is no longer that time. Rae Blood Day-the culmination of my training. The day I find out my fate. I will not cry. I will not beg. I will remain calm. Emotions are for the weak, and I am not weak. My name is Rae and I will survive this. But I never expected him to call my name... Kylan Someone wants to frame me for immortal insanity? Be my guest, darling. I'll just pick a fighter as my bait, a consort with a hint of defiance. And when the culprit attempts to bite, I'll be the one who bites back. Because no one touches what's mine, including the fiery redhead at my side. Welcome to Kylan City. I dare you all to come out and play. **** Oh, no. This wasn't good. I couldn't afford for Kylan to be interested, not with immortality dancing at my fingertips. You can't want me, I thought. But how did I convey that? I... I... Do something! My jaw clenched in frustration, not knowing how to stop this-him. His grip on my chin tightened painfully, his growl vibrating my chest. It took me too long to realize why, to realize what I'd done. His tongue was trapped between my teeth. I'd just bitten him. I'd just bitten a royal vampire. And not just any royal vampire, but Kylan, the oldest royal in existence.

In Rowen's death-defyingly funny debut--a cross between "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Sex in the City"--Sarah Dearly goes on a blind date . . . with a vampire. Original.

Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. This is no longer that time. Luna An arranged marriage? F*ck. This. I'm an alpha female. I choose my future. Not society. Not my father. And certainly not him. Silas I didn't survive just to be cast aside as a low level lycan. I'm more powerful than they realize. More determined. More intelligent. And far more worthy of her than anyone else. Edon Duty--a word I loathe. I'm the future Clemente Clan Alpha. There are rules. There are responsibilities. There can be no love. No free will. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and right now, I desire them both. Welcome to the Clemente Clan. Be careful. We Bite.
