Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Discover a realm where anything is possible. Where peril and passion collide. Where a woman is tempted by a man she wants but can never have. A man she could destroy with just one kiss. Discover THE HUNGER

An Undeniable Desire…

The year is 1811, and vampire Beatrix Lisse has spent six hundred years trying to atone for her sins.Yet she cant forget the one man she loved many centuries ago—until she meets John Staunton, the Earl of Langley. John is Londons most notorious rogue, but he sees an innocence in Beatrix that she no longer believed existed. But Beatrix cant bring herself to reveal her true nature to John, even after they surrender to their fierce passion. Its only after John abandons Beatrix that she learns he has a secret of his own…

Leads to Love that Burns Eternal…

An undercover spy for England, Johns mission is to find out who is behind the sudden shift in power in the French government. If he allows himself to get too close to Beatrix, John knows hell put her life in danger. But as John gets closer to completing his mission, the very person he seeks is none other than Beatrixs centuries-old rival. With the world unraveling around them, John and Beatrix unite to fight a nemesis whose fury has no limit—even as their unquenchable passion grows more dangerous by the day…

“Susan Squires has a fascinating, unique voice; she is a rare talent.”

--Christine Feehan

Review:

"Squires's third Regency vampire romance (after Sacrament and The Companion) isn't just dark; it's grisly with graphic scenes of heads being ripped off and worse. Through it all, vampire and self-made countess Beatrice Lisse and British secret agent John Staunton prove their resilience, though they rarely have an earnest conversation. Instead, from their first encounter, they engage in a verbal battle of one-upmanship. Beatrice recognizes that John is more than the smooth seducer he appears to be, and he in turn realizes that she isn't a mere courtesan. But after exchanging a few barbs and a little poetry, the two are swept up in a dangerous plot spearheaded by a power-hungry vampire from Beatrice's past. Squires lays on the suspense in the final half, keeping readers guessing as to whether Beatrice and John will wind up together... with all their body parts intact. Though there's little time for the protagonists to develop a relationship, and the level of violence may turn off some readers, this tale of redemption and lust will hold true vampire aficionados — the kind who admire Dracula, not Spike — rapt. Agent, TK. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
