Handsome Bastard
by Kate Hill
Vampire Romance, Historical Romance
Trained since childhood to hunt blood drinkers, Leotine is sent on a mission to destroy the elusive Cyprian Augustus. The cunning blood drinker has converted or killed many hunters who have tracked him. Will the vampire or the huntress win their deadly game of lust?
Note: Handsome Bastard was previously published. This is a re-edited version and contains two additional scenes.
Excerpt:
The following night, rather than call Leotine to the bath, Cyprian asked her to come directly to his cubiculum. She found him already washed, lying naked in bed. As usual, one of his many swords rested against the wall. If the cunning beast ever fell asleep with her beside him, closed those beautiful eyes so she wouldn’t have to look into them when she struck, she could seize the opportunity to attack. Her feelings for him didn’t matter. As a member of We Who Serve Humanity, she hadn’t the luxury of falling in love with the man–or beast–of her choice.
At first she had thought a buildup of trust would be the best route to take, but lately she had started to believe that the faster she left his villa, the better.
“Good evening, Leotine,” he said, glancing at her lazily, though his eyes had already taken on the inhuman glow she knew meant arousal.

Great sexual tension, Kate!
Really nice tension and a dilemma for her.
It seems she has a price to pay for trying to kill him. Does she want to leave him quickly because of her growing feelings for him?
Definitely, Ed. She likes him too much.
Thank you, Janet.
