Dracula’s Desire
By Linda Mercury
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revealing herself
as the Dracula of legend, much less a woman, should have been Valerie Tate’s
greatest challenge. But with her longing for blood quenched by the one man she
couldn’t resist, Valerie now finds herself in an impossible circumstance…
Out Of The Shadows…
It’s a fact that vampires do not get pregnant. But
Valerie is definitely pregnant. Worse, six months ago her lover, Lance Soleil,
abandoned her. Determined to find answers, Valerie goes on a quest—one that
leads her to Lance’s childhood friend, John Janté, a man with whom she shares a
strong bond—and an intense lust. But when John is kidnapped, Valerie’s attempt
to rescue him uncovers more than she bargained for…
Into The Fire…
Scouring parallel realms and pocket dimensions,
Valerie soon finds that Lance has regained Paradise as Angel of the Lost…John
is hostage in a bizarre world that resembles Victorian London…and most shocking
of all, Valerie’s greatest love may be within her reach once more. For the soul
of Dracula’s dead wife, Ilona, is trapped within John’s captor, a mad woman
robbed of her humanity and manipulated by a conspiracy of Fallen Angels. Now,
torn between past and present loves, Valerie must contend with emotions that
threaten to break her. And in a desperate show-down, the reunited triad of a
vampire, an angel, and a human, must face their deepest fears—with the future
of an unborn angel-to-be in the balance…

On a wild,
evil night in 1431 AD, Vlad II Dracul’s second son was born. The parents named
their child Vlad III, after his father. This child grew up to become one of the
most famous torturers in the world: Vlad the Impaler, Vlad Tepes, best known as
Dracula. The stories of his atrocities grew even greater when he refused death
and became the legendary vampire.
Throughout
the centuries, the younger Vlad allied himself with leaders who promised an
orderly, centralized government that would control an unruly, chaotic Europe.
His goal came to the end when he died in Berlin, another dupe used by Hitler to
achieve his crazed goals.
The
problem with once-upon-a-time stories? They get the important things wrong.
