Wanted: Vampire - Free Blood
Book 1
in the Wanted: Vampire Trilogy
Released:
Aug 24, 2012 Genre: Paranormal Romance Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Three years ago, death blew out the candle in Alexis Hall’s
life and left her devastated. Nothing could replace what she’d lost, not even
the sexy stranger she awoke married to. Still, she finds it hard to ignore the
dangerous sparks he triggers within her. She knows Bradley Cox took advantage
of her. What she doesn’t know is he holds a secret that will change everything.
But Bradley isn’t her only concern. In a moment of
desperation to somehow reclaim what she had lost, Alexis made an offer to a
vampire––free blood. Her blood.
In a story of heartbreak and obsession, a simple ad changed
Alexis' life forever and on one fateful night her dreams and her nightmares
will collide. Can she trust Bradley? Or is he her worst mistake? Can she
retract her offer to the vampire? Or will she fall under his deceptive spell?
Excerpt:
He spoke slowly, introducing himself as Malik
Drake with a sharp foreign accent that she couldn’t place. She thought he
seemed nice, right up until he said, “You’re dead.”
When she froze in place, he
continued in a softer tone. “I can tell you are dead inside. You needn’t try to
hide it from me. I’ve seen the look before. You are at a party yet you bide
your time with hardly an upward glance. You find it dull, do you not? Or
perhaps, you would rather be dead?”
“What are you? A shrink?” she
asked suspiciously, lifting her head to meet a spine-tingling smirk.
“No, but I should think you
might be interested in my unique gifts.”
“Oh, really? Do you drink
blood?” she teased, laughing at her own private joke. A tiny gasp escaped her
lips when he smiled and tightened his grip around her waist. Her heart beat
faster, and she found herself unable to look away from his beauty.
“May I give you a birthday
kiss, Alexis?” he asked, running a gloved finger down the side of her neck.
She didn’t get a chance to
answer before his cold lips brushed hers. For a moment they stared into each
other’s eyes, and she saw a yellow glow around his pupils.
Her mind raced with the
possibilities, but her body was losing its ability to function. She couldn’t
move. She couldn’t breathe. The air wouldn’t enter her lungs.
Book 3 in the Wanted: Vampire Trilogy: Fingers
