Two NYT bestselling author styles come together for Dark Paranormal Romance + Urban Fantasy = a yummy Brief-Bites novelette. Bounty enforcer, Narah Adrienne, has been served her sentence in the form of three lashes to be meted by a corrupt Magistrate. She's unable to acquire her target as instructed, while strange health issues force Narah to seek help in the dangerous medical underground. They might have answers—for a price. Vampire Turner Aeslin knows what ails her and is the only one who can save Narah by turning her into the vampire she is destined to be. Violent circumstances introduced them, and Narah knows that there are threats even worse than the criminals she pursues. Can Aeslin find her before her sentence is delivered and the Hunter who stalks her? Will Narah be able to save herself from the inexplicable sensual pull she shares whenever Aeslin is near? Or is their tie more than shared vampire blood, but something more powerful than mere chemistry. Vampire is 10,000 words, and is the second volume of episodic novelettes in the ALPHA CLAIM serial.
