"NO! No way am I going to do that!"

     The man said nothing, only waited in obedient silence.

     'It will help you understand this part of yourself.'

     Absolutely not! He was not about to do anything so. . .cannibalistic as to drink human blood! No way! Still, his eyes instinctively sought out the man's throat, sought out the pulse pounding nervously just below that living flesh. It seemed to stand out somehow. . .that slight thrumming. Blood. He could smell it, not metallic, not salty, but sweet. . .sweet and nourishing. It was then he realized just how cold he was, as cold as the very winter, and although there was no discomfort related to the sensation, he longed terribly to be warm, and that blood would make him warm. It would chase away the chill and satisfy the hunger now clawing within. How could he think this way? How could he feel this way? The blood, he couldn't pry his eyes away from that musical pulse. He could hear it flowing through the veins, and that aching in his teeth became a terrible throb.

     Powerful, fearsome and beautiful, you are a vampire, an exquisite predator. The pleasures of life are yours for the taking and time is but a passing thought. Simply allow your soul to be forever trapped within flesh and you can have anything you desire, anything at all, anything. . .except for love. . .real love. With the world at your feet, would it even matter?

     Sexy and fast-paced, Bloodkiss is a tale of awakenings, an enthralling love story with a vampiric twist which entangles you within a web of greed, lust, and insatiable hunger, of desperation, seduction, hatred and forgiveness. Here, a mortal man finds his fate entwined within the undead lives of three vampires, each one longing to be loved and yearning for security, each wanting him to satisfy their own personal agendas.

     Of these four, can any know happiness?
