First Blood

First Blood gathers four new paranormal romance novellas, each built around a vampire and a forbidden attraction. The tone is dark and sensual, and every story leans on desire as much as danger.

Susan Sizemore returns to the world of her Laws of the Blood novels. Her story follows a vampire enforcer and a werewolf, and the relationship that grows between them.

Erin McCarthy's heroine, Sasha Checkikov, leaves Las Vegas, where slayers hunt her, and runs to New Orleans. A vampire haunted by his past rescues her, and he wants her as much as he protects her.

Chris Marie Green's story takes place in the Vampire Babylon world. Twin female vampires share a close bond, and it is tested when one of them falls for the person she is hunting.

Meljean Brook's vampire, Annie Gallagher, needs help rescuing a young human girl. The help arrives in the form of an FBI agent whom Annie loved, then lost the day she became a vampire. Old feelings return, and a child's life depends on the two of them working together.
