Her village had forsaken her, allowed her to be dragged off to her death, but for Perttu, it wasn't her death he wanted - it was her.

The sexiest romance you’ll read this year… One moment can change your life forever… For Violet Lee, a chance encounter on a darkened street draws her into a world beyond her wildest imaginings, a timeless place of vast elegance and immeasurable wealth – of beautiful mansions and lavish parties – where a decadent group of friends live for pleasure alone. A place from which there is no escape… no matter how hard Violet tries. Yet all the riches in the world can’t mask the darkness that lies beneath the gilded surface, embodied in the charismatic but dangerous Kaspar Varn. Violet and Kaspar surrender to a passion that transcends their separate worlds – but it’s a passion that comes at a price… Dinner With A Vampire, formally known as Dinner With A Vampire. Did I Mention I'm Vegetarian?, is the first in The Dark Heroine series and is available to buy from the 13th September 2012.

Once Violet enters the club, she looks and acts just like your average stripper. No one can question her beauty or argue with you in regard to her rocking body. She is able to put most men into a trance with just the swing of her hips. Truth be told, the only thing different about this little Violet is the secret she holds. This one devastating secret shattered her perfect life into pieces, causing her to leave her old life behind. Unfortunately, truth be told nobody is able to run from their past forever. Somehow, somewhere, somebody always finds out; forcing you to face your personal demons as those in her past try to take over her life and turn her into something she refuses to become.
