"Can a vampire and witch find everlasting love in each other?"

Vampire hunter Hunter Blue has lived apart from his family for the past ten years. Ever since his uncle Fauster (who is really his father) turned him into a vampire, Hunter has avoided the family that raised him. Fauster had a crazy idea to breed the ideal vampire and wanted Hunter to mate with his sister AnnaBelle. True, she wasn't his blood relation, but they were reared like they were. Now that AnnaBelle is married with a little girl, Hunter figures it's time to stop by and see them in person. When he visits unexpectedly, he finds his niece's nanny to be pure temptation.

Tatiana Silverthorne loves working for Iain and AnnaBelle as nanny for their precocious daughter Blue Belle. She has secrets of her own, which she doesn't want to explain to Hunter. After all, he doesn't believe in magic. And Tatiana has magic and is learning to control her talents. Tatiana knows all about Hunter's past, thanks to her Aunt Lamenta's diary. She also has read about the plans Fauster made for Hunter to continue his breeding program.

Two people who are reluctant to discuss the significant events in their lives, Hunter and Tatiana fight the primal desires that only deepen the more time they spend together. With Iain and AnnaBelle out of the country, three-year-old Blue is their only chaperone. Will Hunter give in to temptations he's forgotten he ever had? Can Tatiana get past the terrible events of her past and let love bloom? What will Fauster do when he discovers that Hunter is back in town?

Ms. Hurn's vampires populate a very different world from other vampires. Many vampires have developed tolerance to the sun and eat like normal humans. Most of their powers are recharged through psychic means, instead of through drinking blood. A sequel to BLOOD DREAMS 2: HUNTER'S LEGACY is in the works; this one featuring Blue all grown up. Give this vampire tale a try if you want a distinctive approach to the genre.
