Blurb:
In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors--a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their formidable leader, Stephan von Haas, has vowed to protect not only his kind but the humans existing alongside them. His duty comes before all else--until a sassy blonde saunters into his life.
When a sensual, dark-haired stranger walks into Katrina Spencer's life, he stirs her deepest desires and sweeps her into a world beyond her wildest dreams. But when Katrina is targeted by Stephan's enemies, reality shifts into something violent and deadly, as she is thrust into a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and vengeance is coming for her.
Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures. But when one horrid mistake brings retribution, their love may pay the price.

Excerpt:
“So tell me, young one, is Kat short for
something or did your parents just have a
fascination with felines?”
“It’s short for Katrina. But everyone calls me Kat.”
She began to gather the playing cards from the
table, but Stephan stilled her shaking hands by covering
them with his own. Something akin to an electric
current passed between them. Katrina gazed at Stephan,
drinking him in, dangerous, magnificent, and so very
beautiful.
“Where are my manners?” she asked, her voice
quivering. “Would you like a drink?”
“You read my mind,” he replied as he rose, pulling
her toward him. “I am a little parched, actually.”
Their eyes locked and Kat once again fell into his
dark gaze. Her mind detached, as if she watched herself
from above.
The feel of his mouth registered on her lips, while
the smell of sandalwood engulfed her. His lips
feathered kisses down her jaw, coming to a rest where
her shoulder met her throat. She swooned. His arms
closed around her like a set of steel bands, pulling her
up against his firm body. Kat moaned when his tongue
flicked out to taste her sensitive skin. He inhaled deeply
against her neck causing goose bumps to pimple her
flesh.
“Honeysuckle,” he murmured, his lips brushing
against her flesh. His fangs lengthened, scraping the
skin where her pulse beat, sending her heart racing. He
cupped her bottom in one hand and tightened his arm
around her waist. Her body stiffened only a little as he
pulled her tighter against him, lifting her off her feet.
