Excerpt:
“There’s a storm coming.”
Kenna jumped, her heart racing, and tore her gaze from the snowy field. There was no blood now. The corpses had been buried for a hundred years, but her memories — her feelings — were still fresh.
She gazed at Drew for two seconds before leaping into his arms. After so many years, after all the evil that had stolen her innocence and claimed his sanity, she still loved him.
Tall and strong, with rangy limbs, eyes like dark blue iron, and a face that was more compelling than handsome, Drew never failed to make her body tingle and her teeth ache.
He tightened his arms around her, and she buried her face in his long, dark hair.
“I’m so glad you made it back,” she whispered.

All Their Midnights is a collection of vampire poetry and short stories with a romantic twist.
The Lighthouse – Imprisoned in a dungeon and forced to do battle for a cruel lord, Drew lost his sanity long ago. Kenna’s passion for Drew never faltered, even when it drove her from the only other person she’d ever loved, her twin brother, Collin. Kenna and Drew escaped the horror of their past to live a quiet life as lighthouse keepers. Their hard-won happiness is threatened when Collin arrives, stirring past memories that hurl him and Drew toward possible destruction.
Blood and Whiskey – Despite his thirst for blood, Danel has never wanted to cause permanent harm to his prey. He’s spent his life learning to control his violent nature. Then he meets Yori. She rouses his bloodlust, but will he curb her wild ways, or will she lure him into a life of savagery?
Don’t Drink the Blood – Rene is a young vampire scraping by while fighting for her life in a world that has shown her little mercy. While on the hunt, she’s attacked, but a strange, beautiful man rescues her. Oliver suffers from a disease that affects vampires. Only Rene’s blood can save him from a slow, painful death. They make a deal—her blood in exchange for his tutoring. Can he transform an uneducated, struggling cynic into a sophisticated vampire warrior? Even more, can he win her hardened heart?
