A blacksmith has never seemed so sexy to the vampire Henri until he meets Nathan, the son of a dying friend. Nathan's everything he isn't. Impulsive and carefree, poetry in motion, and yet, there's an incredible power lurking inside those muscular depths: the critical ability to draw off emotions.
Beyond the growing bond between them, trouble lurks. For another vampire, Bellario, has discovered what Nathan can do and wants it for himself. He'll use anything to get it, including Nathan's neighbors and a former lover, who's bent on revenge, against Nathan.
Henri's determined not to lose Nathan like he lost his last student. But his blood lust threatens, and if he can't contain it, people will die. Nathan's siphoning powers help, but they're no match for Henri's emotional rush. Making him a vampire will increase those powers, Henri has sworn not to turn him unless his life is in danger.
That condition is filled when Bellario's riled up mob comes to burn Nathan out. But will Nathan and Henri be able to fight the crush and forge the currents of lust into something more lasting?

Growing up, I had a vivid imagination with lots of imaginary playmates and stuffed animals to keep me company. I even had crayon box adventures where the colors had a kingdom and tales to tell. And who says pink is a girl color? In my world, he was a prince.

From the time I could form my letters, this translated into fanciful writings from poems on eye shadow (I was six) to a story about an Island world I created with animals and people. Writing was something I always did.

But it never clicked. I drifted in and out of genres, mystery, animal stories, thrillers, toying with it, playing at it. I would finish some projects and store them away. It never occurred to me that this pastime could be my life's passion if I let it. Until my world collided with rediscovery.

As a teenager, I devoured books, especially romances but drifted out of the genre as an adult. On a weekend trip to the beach, I read four romance novels. I had a flash of inspiration. I could write these! Romance was where my heart lay. Within six weeks I had written my first romance novel.

I went back and revamped a thriller that I had written a few years before, making it a romance. And I became serious about my craft, trying to soak in all I could about writing. I began to write on a roleplay loop and the practice has been invaluable. I've cut my teeth there and learned what works in writing and what doesn't. And I've finally accepted who I am. A storyteller at heart, be it tales told to my children, an erotic piece about lovers or about a vampire looking for love.

So come with me and take a journey where, just like in my crayon box, things aren't always what they seem.

Henri and Nathan were hot; especially their initial meeting. The story read rather quickly but the back drop and characterization did not suffer for it. The romance was a slow, low simmer but genuine.

Henri is an ancient vampire who is summoned by the death bed of an old human friend. Madeleine, his former lover, is dying and she wants Henri helps her son, Nathan.

Nathan is a young man, innocent and open. He can also feel the emotions of the other person, like his mother before him, and for this reason he has drawn the attention of a rogue vampire, Bellario.

But from the first time Henri meets Nathan, he knows he can't permit that Bellario claims the boy, and not only cause he is the son of a dear friend, but because Nathan is his mate.

Henri is an old and experience vampire that maybe has lost a little the savour of life. Nathan is like a fresh breeze who reawkens his desire: he is not a storm, he is like the night breeze, light and refreshing.

Nathan has no fear of Henri, even when he discovers his real nature: he can feel the desire of the man, and wants him. He accepts inside him all the strong emotions and the bad events to return outside only peace and quiteness. He is like a son of the nature.
