Blurb:
Megan’s weekend just took a dangerous, sexy turn…
What’s not to love about a girl’s weekend in Dublin? Megan Sanders loves being out on the town and out on the pull with her mates, but unfortunately, she’s attracted the attentions of a man with downright murderous intentions.
Seth Martin knows vampire Samuel Bennington is evil, and only his pack of elite wolf shifters can protect Megan. That is, if they can convince her that she needs their help.
Soon Megan finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of fear and lust. She’s being hunted for her blood, yes, but she’s also crazy about the guy who has sworn to protect her. But which man will win? Will her blood sate Bennington’s hunger, or will Seth remind her why it’s good to be alive, and give her pleasure beyond anything she’s known before?
Excerpt:
Megan stopped and turned. She thought she’d have to look down at Seth because he was a couple of steps behind her but he was so tall his face was near level with hers.
“What?” he asked, frowning.
“How did you find me?”
“I just did.”
“That’s not an answer.” She gripped the banister on her right. “That evil man, vampire, was just about to attack me, bite me and then he was gone. The next thing I knew you were there. How did you know?”
“I just did.”
“Again not an answer.” She frowned. “Come on, I need more. This is turning into a night that I’m struggling to get my head around.”
“Okay.” He nodded. “I’ve been keeping an eye on him, Samuel Bennington, which, by the way, is one of the many names he goes by.”
“Why? Why have you been keeping an eye on him?”
“The organization gave word to the Dublin group—”
“Who is the organization?”
“The GVW.”
“Which stands for?”
“Global Vampire Watch.”
She nodded. Fuck, was there really such a thing or was Seth making this shit up? “And who is the Dublin group?” She’d see if he could explain that one while he was at it.
“There are five of us, not including Rose.”
“Okay, and what do you do?”
“When we’re alerted that vampires have breached our territory, we search for them, hunt them down.” He reached out and touched her neck, at the exact spot Samuel had earlier. “We make sure they don’t do harm to humans in our area and, if we can, we drive a stake through their heart.”
She trembled under his touch. The passion in his eyes, the steely determination in his voice—damn, he made her believe him. “Have you ever…you know?”
“What?”
“Stabbed a vampire in the heart.”
He tipped his chin. “Yes. Once.”
“Who was he?”
“Not he, it was a she.”
“Oh.”
“And a vicious bitch, too. She’d left a trail of bodies across Europe before landing on our shores. Biggest mistake of her very long life.”
Megan could imagine Seth’s big muscles, his strong body, being able to fight a vampire. It would still take a lot of effort, she was sure, since legends told of their super-human strength.
“Now come on. You need to rest,” he said. “What you’ve been through was horrible.”
“Seth? Seth is that you?” A female voice, also Irish, came from the top of the stairs.
Megan turned and climbed them. Once at the top, they stepped out into a large room that appeared to be a kitchen-dining area and living space.
A woman, short and round, wearing a brown dress with a strange orange zigzag pattern, stood at a stove. She was stirring something that steamed wildly. When she turned her glasses were misty.
“Oh damn,” the woman said, dropping her spectacles to hang over her ample bosom. “I’m always doing that.” She set the spoon aside, walked up to Megan, and then took her hands.
