Ohio Vampires

Sirous Smith has lived for centuries, long enough to grow tired of immortality itself. With no mate in sight and nothing left to keep him tethered to the world, he returns to Brew's home for one final reunion-and a promised end at the hands of his friend Yosef. But Sirous never planned on Tabby.Tabitha "Tabby" Williams is hiding from a ruthless mother who wants to exploit her powerful gift of sight. Taking shelter in the woods near Brew's estate, she expects danger from her past…not from a brooding, stubborn vampire determined to die.When Tabby bursts into the clearing moments before Sirous's execution, everything changes. One scent-one electric spark-and fate binds them as true mates. Sirous wants none of it. Tabby wants even less. But destiny has other plans.Between vengeful family, ancient vampire politics, and a stubborn male who would rather argue than admit he cares, Sirous and Tabby will have to decide if they'll keep running from fate…or run toward each other.A reluctant bond. A powerful magic. And a love that arrives at the worst-and best-possible moment. I woke up one morning and decided to give play time to the people in my head who were keeping me awake. Little did I know that they would be so relentless and want their time right now! I wrote for the pure joy of it and to entertain my family and friends. But mostly it was to get more than an hour of sleep without a story playing out. Of course, the more I write, the more they want. So…well, as a result of sleepless days (I work through the night as a gun toting grandma – nope not a vigilantly but an armed security guard) I have lots of stories written.Hello! My name is Kathi Barton and I'm an author. I have been married to my very best friend Sonny for at times seems several lifetimes – in a good way, honey. And together we have three wonderful children and then the ones we brought into the world - Paul and Dale Barton, Jason and Wendy Barton and Danielle and Ben Conklin. They have given us seven of the greatest treasures on Earth. They don't live at home seven days a week! No, seriously, seven grandchildren – Gavin, Spring, Ben, Trinity, Sarah, Kelly and Kian.
