Megan Crosse never had to fight for anything.

Now she's fighting the urge to kill. Megan and her sisters are heirs to an ancient vampire-slaying legacy. One of them is a natural-born slayer. One is a healer. One will become a vampire. And they're all in imminent danger from a world being overrun by their undead enemies...

Yet with wild and rugged bodyguard Mikhail watching her every move, Megan's got an even bigger problem. The bad-boy-turned-good leaves Megan weak at the knees, but he has his own supernatural secret that could tear them apart forever!

लेखक के बारे में

Hey — the girl can't help it. If Harper Allen seems to feel more at home writing about life on the wild side, it's only because she s following that old literary maxim: Write what you know. Growing up in a blue-collar motor city, and with comments such as "Does not play well with others" on her grade-school report cards, it was pretty much a given that she would end up creating loner heroes, tough heroines, and gritty settings. Harper's characters have always been real people with real flaws, desperately struggling to find the love that will redeem them.But there's a kinder, gentler side to Harper. Underneath the motorcycle leathers (I was going how fast, officer?) and the rose tattoo (don't ask — there was a bet, she won, that's all you need to know) beats the heart of a true romantic. The day she met the man who eventually became her husband, she told her sister, "Get out of the way, that one's mine." Okay, okay. "Really" she said, "I ve just met the man I m going to marry. How long do you think it'll take him to figure it out?" She's a sucker for stray dogs (they've got four), abandoned kittens (six, and they're pretty darn big cats now), and not-so-cute little kids who aren't the first ones picked for the volleyball team. Her idea of a great date with her husband is going to a baseball game. Her idea of a great baseball game is any one in which the Red Sox win (a hopeless romantic, did we say?).While her work as a reporter in the criminal court system gives her books a darker edge, and her Irish ancestry lends them a touch of Celtic mysticism, first and foremost each one is a story about a man and a woman falling in love and holding on to that love — and for that Harper need look no further for inspiration than her own life.So what happens to bad girls when they grow up? Just ask Harper — if they're lucky, they get to write about it and the story has a happy ending. Because the best romances always do.
