Real Vampires

Be Careful What You Wish For... Vampire Gloriana always wanted a family. Then her mother kidnaps her the week before her wedding. Trapped in Olympus where "blood suckers" are hated, Glory is threatened with an arranged marriage, to a god! Olympus and her mother can make all her dreams come true, she's got a perfect figure, she can eat real food again and her fangs are history. But, one thing is missing... Can Glory really give up what some would call Paradise for the man she loves?

Shape-shifter Rafael Valdez has spent too many years as a bodyguard to vampires. Now he's ready to build his own life. Rafe's lady, were-cat Lacy, is pregnant. Lacy figures he's only willing to give her a ring because his true love, Glory, the vampire he'd guarded as a dog for so long, turned him down. Lacy won't be his sloppy seconds. Rafe is determined to woo and win this woman. Then he's taken away at gunpoint to his dying grandfather's bedside. He'd left his shape-shifter clan centuries ago and never wanted to return, but Grandfather needs him. Can Rafe help save the old man and the clan that hates his demon blood? Will another woman with her own agenda destroy his chance for a life with Lacy? Can cats and dogs play well together after all?

A honeymoon from hell... Vampire Glory thought it would be 24 hours of pleasure during Sweden's long, long nights. But then, a romantic sleigh ride with Jerry finds them in an ice-quake... A Viking frozen for a thousand-years lands at Glory's feet. Company on their honeymoon? No thanks. But, it's impossible to resist a chance to help a fierce Viking even if the newlyweds end up in a fight for their lives. At least this honeymoon was never boring...

A mysterious past, a desperate present and an uncertain future. What's a girl to do? Young widow Gloriana St. Clair has lost everything-her memory, her husband, even the pallet where she'd been sleeping since her money ran out. Near starvation, she's forced to try her luck in the alley next to the Globe Theater. With her curves displayed in a borrowed dress, maybe she can attract a generous and caring protector to support her. Jeremiah Campbell is drawn to Gloriana immediately and makes his move. The handsome Scot certainly catches her eye and even buys her a meat pie when he hears her empty stomach rumbling. Glory decides she has no choice but to go with him when he offers his arm for a "stroll." At least his eyes are kind. But an attack by thugs soon shows her that this man can also be dangerous. When she sees his fangs? Well, surely she imagined them. Because vampires aren't real, are they?

A new vampire with a hunger to please... Gloriana proved her love for Jeremiah by turning vampire. Now they can be together forever. But this new life is hard. Glory misses food, hot chocolate and sunlight. The worst? Jeremiah is dragging her to meet his parents in the Scottish Highlands. What will his mother say when he brings his mistress home for a jolly Christmas surprise? If she can live to meet his mother... Glory is stalked by an ancient vampire during the perilous journey. Will Jeremiah's love be enough to keep this from becoming a far from merry Christmas?

Glory St. Clair is finally marrying her long-time lover. But with the wedding only weeks away, she has more on her hands than bridal showers and fitting her generous curves into a wedding dress. Her best friend Flo is in trouble and it's up to Glory to convince her pal to take the threat seriously or there will be no matron of honor on Glory's big night. Gerry Bartlett is the national best-selling author of the Real Vampires series. Real Vampires Take a Bite Out of Christmas continues the story where it left off in Real Vampires Know Size Matters.
