  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Four all-new stories of forbidden passion and dark desire.

You never forget your first blood...&lt;/b&gt;

1. &lt;B&gt;Susan Sizemore&lt;/B&gt; returns to the universe of her &lt;I&gt;Laws of the Blood&lt;/I&gt; novels with a sizzling story of the relationship between a vampire enforcer and a werewolf.

2. &lt;B&gt;Erin McCarthy&lt;/B&gt;'s Sasha Checkikov flees the bright lights and dangerous slayers of Vegas for New Orleans, where she is saved by a vampire haunted by his past and hungry for passion.

3.  Set in the Vampire Babylon world, &lt;B&gt;Chris Marie Green&lt;/B&gt;'s story puts the bond between twin female vampires to the test when one of them falls for her prey.

4.  &lt;B&gt;Meljean Brook&lt;/B&gt;'s vampire Annie Gallagher needs help to save a young human girl, but she doesn't expect the help to come from the FBI agent she loved -and had to give up- when she was transformed.</default_description>
