I recently updated the cover and added new material to one of my stories, Angel Laird, Vampire Wife. Though it’s indie-published, it’s part of my series, Highland Vampires, which is mostly published by entities like Harlequin Spice Briefs and Ellora’s Cave.

Here’s the list of current and planned stories in the series:

Highland Vampires: Advent (forthcoming; set in the 12th century)

Temptation in Tartan (set in 1747; http://www.ellorascave.com/temptation-in-tartan.html)

Desire in Tartan (set in 1759; http://www.ellorascave.com/desire-in-tartan.html)

Angel Laird, Vampire Wife (set in 1766; http://bit.ly/AngelVamp)

Rakes in Tartan (set in 1816, forthcoming from Ellora’s Cave)

Vampire and Ripper (forthcoming)

Highland Vampire (contemporary; http://bit.ly/HighlandVamp)

Readers of Temptation in Tartan will remember that after his clan was nearly destroyed by an ancient Kilburn vampire, Edgar MacReiver, the ten-year-old laird of Clan MacReiver, was forced to accept Kieran, Laird Kilburn’s peace proposal…a proposal that gave Kier’s firstborn daughter to Edgar as his wife, to cement the alliance between the formerly warring clans.

Angel Laird, Vampire Wife follows Eddgar and his strong-willed fiancee, Isobel Kilburn, as they struggle to reconcile their desires with arrangements made decades before.

And here’s the snog:

Edgar’s lips caressed hers and her mind emptied of everything except this new experience. She wanted to remember everything about her first kiss: the strength of his arms, the warmth of his lips followed by the wetness of his tongue as it slid slyly into her mouth.

His flavor was distinctive, a spice like nothing she’d tasted before, a toothsome relish composed of spring water, mint and honey. The scent of the forest mingled with his aroma, a fragrance that melded good male sweat with an underlying freshness that reminded her of the summer sun glittering on the sea.

His hand trailed down her back to curve over her bottom. He squeezed, and the tingling heat of passion spread from his broad warm palm to encompass all of her. A purr rose in her throat. She slid her arms beneath his and held onto his shoulders from behind.

She pulled him in tight, wanting nothing but this kiss to go on and on forever. Life had become so simple. Their mouths touching, their hands exploring, their bodies pressed against each other were everything. Nothing else mattered.

She sucked on his tongue but still wanted more. She nipped and then, tasting a new flavor, licked the tip. Was it his blood? She didna care. He was delicious.

She sucked harder. Yes, that was his blood seeping over her tongue from the tiny bite, and it was intoxicating…he was intoxicating. He groaned and his grip tightened. She became aware that his muscular body had hardened against hers.

That she’d taken his blood had stirred him, she realized with a bolt of pure lust snapping through her. He was aroused by her need and that, in turn, inflamed her. His maleness thrust blindly, seeking her warmth and heat. She pressed herself against him not only with desire but also with a sense of wonderment. She had not known how good he’d feel pressed against her.

His hands shifted, roamed, explored…he took her wrists and drew them down to the small of her back.

He pulled away but she couldn’t reach for him to bring him back. He gripped her shoulders and looked into her eyes with a peculiar intensity. His blond hair swung loose, and she realized what he’d done.

He’d bound her hands behind her back with his leather hair tie.

“What…why did ye do that?” She tried to tug her wrists apart, but he’d tethered them firmly.
