A Bite to Remember by Lynsay Sands

A Bite to Remember by Lynsay Sands

Rule #1: Never get involved with someone who won’t be there for you when the sun comes up. Once bitten, twice shy, and sexy PI Jackie Morrisey wasn’t going there again. Vincent Argeneau may be the hottest guy she’s ever met, living or dead, but she’s here to stop a killer from turning this vampire into dust, not to jump into bed with him. Rule #2: Never kiss a vampire . . . it can be a pain in the neck. Okay, so Vincent’s had four hundred years to perfect his kissing skills, and he does look rather tempting when he runs around the house shirtless. He’s also charming, protective… Read more.

The Chase by Lynsay Sands

The Chase by Lynsay Sands

Fleeing to an abbey isn’t really Seonaid Dunbar’s first choice. She’d been trained alongside her brother as a Scottish warrior at her father’s knee. But running was preferable to wedding Blake Sherwell, a man the English court calls the Angel. Seonaid knows there are no English angels, only English devils—and more than one way to elude a devilish suitor, even if King Henry himself has ordered her to marry him. Blake believed the next countess of Sherwell would be sitting at home— embroidering perhaps—as she eagerly awaited his arrival. Instead, she is hiding behind the… Read more.
