Paranormal romances are still hot on the shelves and the same is true at Aspen Mountain Press. Vampire romances in particular have been popular with both our authors and our readers. Our vamps run the gamut of haunting and brooding to downright funny.
Take for instance, Rob Graham’s In the Dark. Georges Bellveau is a vampire. A vampire with a strong sense of right and wrong. He detests seeing people used, and delights in feeding off of those who would subjugate others to their wims. With great willpower he controls his urges to feed, keeping his blood lust under control. When he meets Diane Patterson love enters into his carefully balanced equation. Can he keep his condition a secret? And when another other worldly creature threatens to expose him by threatening DIane, will she be able to accept the truth?
C.J. England brings us another vampire, Sebastian, who has kept to the forest, only feeding off those who wander into his sanctuary. One night he comes upon Teran, a young woman, an outsider in her own community. She’s being chased by a group of men intent on raping her, but Sebastian comes to her rescue. In time, she comes to care for him, and he her. But she is fearful of knowing whether or not her emotions are hers and not what he has entralled her with. In An Unholy Embrace, she elicits a promise from him and when he breaks that promise, she knows she must leave and return to her former lonely life.
Equally heavy are the vampires in Aline DeCheviginy’s Chronicles of the Damned series. In Blood Red, Mikael De Wohlf has lived the better part of his life as a ruthless, vicious vampire. Only one person, Annabella Micelli, has managed to sooth his vampire ire to warm what is left of his soul. But Annabella despises the way Mikael lives, the way he metes out justice, the way he has brought about the downfall of his enemies. How can he turn her disgust into lust and then maybe into love?
