Vampires of Crimson Bay

Congratulations! Either one or both of your parents has vampire blood. Welcome to the vampire race! Please keep a few things in mind as you ease into the most difficult phase of your life: 1. Light sensitivity, humming teeth, and stomach pains are completely normal. You'll also be faster, stronger, and sexy as hell (if you're lucky). 2. You'll bloodlust and go crazy if you deny your body's urge for blood. Why fight it? 3. Do not pierce the skin of a mundane involuntarily. We're not animals and will not behave as such. 4. Therians, our shapeshifting brethren, cannot be trusted. Their loyalties shift as often as their identities. And finally, 5. Lighten up-you're not dead. Contact Dylan, owner of ReVamp, in Crimson Bay, California, for more information.

"I said stop, Eve." A dark musky smell emitted from Ruan's skin. It was possession. "You don't know what you're asking of me." Eve had spent an entire month begging Ruan to drink from her. To share one of the most erotic experiences a vampire and mundane could share. Yet he'd denied her. Now, there was no turning back "Either drink from me now, proving to yourself that you have the strength to do this, or let me fulfill my personal obligation to your race on my terms." Stifling a gasp, she punctured her skin with the tip of the blade, then lifted the steel to examine it. Her blood, red and thick, hung on the edge. "That's only fair, given what we both want, don't you think?" With a hollow-sounding groan, Ruan snatched her hand and licked her palm, sending chills exploding through her hand.

True love is put to the test in the third book in Kristin Miller's Vampires of Crimson Bay series. Tortured by demonic voices, Dante's soul is as black as they come. But when he meets Ariana-an innocent vampire fighting demons of her own-he second-guesses everything he's ever known about sacrifice, passion, and soul-scorching love. Before Dante wages war against Crimson Bay's greatest threat, he must make a choice: love Ariana the way she deserves, risking her life in the process-or fight to protect her, unleashing the monster he's determined to bury.
