Willing to do anything to break his ancient curse, Damian Alessandro captured innocent Bianca Bordeaux, forcing her to succumb to his bidding. She was his to seduce...his to command...until she would willingly come to him and cure him of the blackness threatening the peril of his very soul....

She sought sanctuary. What she found was a man of her most vivid dreams...and nightmares.... Daegon Erlansson vowed to possess the flame-haired beauty for his voracious appetites. Long had he lived in solitude, alone with his immense powers in his accursed wood. His thirst for her innocent blood was strong. And her struggles against his rough seduction only enflamed the passion stirring his undead blood to feverish heights. Cerise Bordeaux would be his. At any cost....

Adriana beckoned the dark lord of the night, Morpheus, to save her from her tower prison. Innocent of blood and fair of face, he was compelled to answer her call—with punishment for her daring on his mind. No mortal maid should have control of Morpheus Draguna, the powerful dream lord. No mortal would escape the havoc he would wreak upon her body. For under the guise of dreams, he would possess her, seduce her, punish her…until he himself was caught in the very trap he sought to lay for Adriana…. Rating: Novella.
