Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noblesse is the daughter of the Vampire King of New York Maximillion Vander Meer. In the over two hundred years, she\u2019s been a vampire, Noblesse has never found a true love or discovered what happened to her mother who disappeared just prior to the French Revolution.<\/p>\n

Noblesse has to choose between two men. Both profess their love. Both are keeping a secret from her. One wants to destroy her, and one wants to love her forever. But which one?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noblesse felt him before he arrived. In her mind\u2019s eye, she could see him roaring down the streets of New York on his Harley. Resisting the urge to respond to his thoughts, she contented herself in watching him and feeling the many human emotions rushing through him. Besides, the last time she\u2019d tried mindtalking with him while he was driving, he nearly crashed.
\nDonovan pulled his Harley neatly into a parking spot right in front of the posh SoHo antiques shop. He got off the bike and secured it, then raked his hair with his fingers. His nerves tingled through her body too, as if the two of them were connected. Sometimes it was just so much fun being in his head, feeling what he felt.
\nDonovan looked at the building looming over him. Each window framed imagined eyes that pierced with disapproving frowns. He shook it off. A long stretch across the desert to nowhere called to him, a place he\u2019d been many times when life seemed empty.<\/p>\n

At least he\u2019d felt free flying on the Harley across the black strip of tar. The ideal of freedom embraced him when nothing mattered. The only time he came back this way was to see family. Now something else pulled at him. As he peered through the glass and saw the elegant brunette waiting for him, the desert faded from his mind\u2019s eye. Noblesse was everything lovely and adorable. He loved the way she moved, and the way her pencil skirt hugged her hips. He appreciated hips on a woman. She loved how he thought of her.
\nHis thoughts warmed her all over, and Noblesse blushed. She was certain he didn\u2019t know she was in his mind at that moment. She waved to him through the window, and his heart skipped a beat. When he was in her presence, it didn\u2019t matter how many times he reminded himself they were just friends, his heart danced. Joy made him laugh, and a slow burning fire engulfed him. Donovan liked to think he was too old for passion. At any rate, he was too old for Noblesse, and knew it. Combing his fingers through his gray hair again, he stepped through the door.<\/p>\n

Noblesse walked briskly up to him, her green eyes had a sparkle that had nothing to do with contact lenses. She was a vampire, so her eyes were perfect. Why did she melt him like a school boy with his first crush?<\/p>\n

\u201cDonovan, thank you for coming.\u201d She kissed him on both cheeks.\u201d I really need your advice on this.\u201d<\/p>\n

He kissed her on each cheek. The second kiss caught him spellbound in the mass of midnight hair hanging in waves and falling just below her shoulders. Was it her honeysuckle perfume or the softness of the silky strands against his face that lingered? It was a hard question to answer.<\/p>\n
