No other words explained why Mace Seeger had come so far to see a woman he should have nothing to do with. But from the moment he found Sara Parmenter's photograph in her dead husband's wallet, he had no choice. Her haunted eyes stared out of the picture at him, distracting him from her naked and bound body. The woman he found at the isolated ranch was no longer helpless, no longer trapped by a cruel and violent man, because Ronnie Parmenter was gone, murdered. He had ceased to be a danger. Sara desperately wanted to believe the same thing. The young widow would do whatever it took to free herself from her nightmares, to embrace the future-and understand why she was willing to risk everything with Mace. A lifetime ago she'd been a sexual woman, a willing and eager bed partner. The realities of her marriage had stripped that from her, but being near Mace reawakened primitive, unfocused need and allowed her to dream of willingly giving her body, her mind, her trust to him. Sara was changing, returning to life. But Ronnie wasn't done with her. Or with Mace.

More hot vamps! I've read several of Elizabeth Lapthorne's books and was interested enough in the blurb on the back of "Desperate Fantasies" to pick it up at the bookstore. I'm very glad I did! This book contains the first two stories of the 'Montague vampires', a family of vamps who exist 250ish years in the future on a distant planet...far, far away (OK, OK, I just couldn't resist that last bit).
Desperate and Dateless - Vicci's a retired mercenary and is working security at the annual Vampiric Desperate and Dateless ball. She's surprised and intrigued when she feels the presence of a very powerful, and very sexy vampire...RIGHT BEHIND HER! Their attraction is immediate and powerful and maybe more than she can safely handle. Good thing she's a brave mercenary...
Heated Fantasies - Clare is a librarian, maybe a little mousy, but still content with her life, her fantasies, and her BOB. Then she finds an ancient book and is transported to a different place and time...and apparently to her very own fantasy man, uh make that vampire.
Hot sexy vampires...do I really need to say anything else? Now I want to read more about the Montague vamps!!
