The instant chemistry that erupts between them is too intense to ignore, but after a steamy week together, Willow has a decision to make which could change her life forever. One made more difficult when she learns who, and what, he is.Fans of Ward, Feehan, and Showalter will love Banks' steamy alpha vampires. Her characters have depth, wit, and a healthy dose of cheekiness that will keep you turning the pages late into the night!

Darren goes to a freak show with his friend. It's the gothic Cirque du Freak where weird, half human/half animals appear and interact with the audience. Darren falls in love with a spider and tries to steal it so that he can teach it to perform.

A vampire has never been a hero in their land, but now one is their only hope. The king is dead, but Prince Keiran has no desire to take his place. All he wants is the freedom to pursue the woman he loves. His status makes that illegal, and the widespread rumors of his vampirism aren’t helping. Still, the country is in the death throes of collapse, and Keiran is the only one who can rescue it. His father's top advisor publicly opposes Keiran under the guise of wanting to save their nation from the fate of other vampire-controlled realms. However, his real motivations are far from heroic. He rose to power by killing those who challenged him, and he’s one murder away from stealing Keiran’s birthright. After twenty-three years of abstinence from human blood, Keiran is in no condition to fight his demon-summoning rival. However, the alternative is death, and the country falling under the spell of his opponent's black magic. Though Keiran doesn’t want to be king, he's always been a patriot, and he will do whatever it takes to save his nation—if he can survive.
