"A Different Kind of Love Triangle"

Special Unit member Darcy Henry knew about vampires...and knew that she didn't like them or trust them. But when there's a serial killer with bloodsucking tendencies on the loose, Darcy finds that even dislike and distrust can't protect her from a vampire's powerful lures.

Quentin, a vampire, is recruited to help the Special Unit gain access to the vampire world and, hopefully, lead the investigators to the rampaging murderer. His presence in Darcy Henry's life will shake up the almost-romance that she had cooking with fellow officer Joe Garcia and land her in a position she never wanted or expected to be in.

With two hunky men vying for her affection -- one a safe, known, all-too-human policeman she's had her eye on for a while, the other a dangerously exciting, otherworldly temptation-made-flesh -- how can a woman choose?

LOVE BITES is a delicious, emotional romp of a story, a tale that builds powerfully on the old, often-used love triangle and succeeds beautifully in creating something new and exciting. Second in Devlin's My Immortal Knight series, the novel features cameos by the hero and heroine of the first book, but is easily readable on its own. The characters are well-rounded and a pleasure to adventure with. Darcy's seduction at Quentin's hands is exquisitely balanced by her safe, normal desire for a relationship with Joe, and the romance delicately offset by the rising tension of suspense woven through the story. The ultimate solution is delicious. Sensually delightful, LOVE BITES is a thrilling, compelling read that any fan of vampire romance would be well advised to take a look at.

Sensuality Level: This novel has been rated "E-rotic" by the publisher.

Summary

On the trail of a serial killer, vampire Quentin Albermarle is mistaken for the killer by a police special task force. Once the smoke clears, Quentin finds himself in a delicious position—atop one of the unit's crack officers, Darcy Henry.

In need of Quentin's access to the vampire sub-culture, the task force leadership invites Quentin to join the crime unit as a special advisor, much to the chagrin of the men in the unit, and especially, of Darcy.

A no-nonsense cop with no time for romance, Darcy suddenly finds herself embroiled in a steamy love triangle between her mortal partner, Joe, and the handsome vampire. Going from abstinence to wantonness, she is unable to resist the two men's relentless seduction or her own sensual curiosity about a vampire's special "kiss".

When the real killer threatens the life of someone close to her, Darcy makes a choice that forever binds the three of them together.
