Madeline Shaw is drawn into the life of the mysterious Mr. Chambers when she accepts an invitation to stay at Ravens Deep, a beautiful old house, remotely situated on the wooded coast of Exmoor in England. Soon after her arrival she meets the equally enigmatic Darius. His enchanting nature and their mutual attraction form the basis of a relationship.
But Ravens Deep conceals a chilling secret.
While Madeline deals with a supernatural presence in the house, Darius must protect her from a life few could imagine to be real, and none allowed to survive. Their love promises to destroy them both, and Darius demands that she leave him and return to London.
Still Darius dominates her every thought, and when Madeline discovers his deadly secret, her future seems clear. Despite the terrible legacy steeped in blood and desire, she is compelled to return to Ravens Deep.
From the strong gothic imagery of the moors, to the darker side of city life in London, Madeline and Darius’s connection defies the boundaries of time, combining vampire superstition with a complex and modern love story.
So what if he's a bit older and usually regards a human female as dinner, not a dinner date? Yes, Roman Draganesti is a vampire, but a vampire who lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop–sided eater for all eternity.
Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan either...After witnessing a gruesome murder by the Russian mafia, she's next on their hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she's found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her...
A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.
