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.

Josslyn Wade goes back to her mother's home town, in the middle of nowhere, Maine. There, she meets another teenager, Rebecca Hart, who is intent on following in the footsteps of Joss' own mother. Both have secrets, both have hidden desires - a star crossed lesbian romance ensues.

Dylan Tate, a San Francisco native, was perfectly fine with living a carefree lifestyle free from any major responsibilities. One particular day life smacks her upside the head with a greater responsibility than she could have ever bargained for. Will she fail at becoming a grown up or can she rise to the occasion? Layne Bishop, on the other hand, was quite familiar and comfortable with responsibility. She was also already a grown up, something she had to achieve sooner than would usually be necessary. Layne yearned for commitment, love and family -- none of which she had in NYC. Could a trip across the country deliver better fortune? ***Note: I hope you'll give it a chance, but you may not want to read this if intimacy between those belonging to the same gender is not your cup of tea :-) If you do choose to read on, if you'd be so kind please share your thoughts with me. I'll give ya a cookie. Okay, three cookies! ADDED: September 29, 2012: Hey all, I'm glad that the reads for this book have picked up, but could ya'll please tell me what you think about it?
