My head snapped to the side as he slapped me forcefully on the cheek. I kept my head down not allowing him to see the hurt in my eyes, or the hurt in my heart, or the pain all over my body. No, I was stronger than that, I would not let him see it; he already called me weak, pathetic and out of place. "Look at me," he growled menacingly. I kept my head down and I literally felt his fury radiating off him. An iron hand wrapped around my throat and it lifted my head, but before my eyes made contact with his face I closed them. "Human", he spat, "I said look at me.", his voice was dangerously low. I knew he was playing a game with me, I had done it once and I had payed for it. The grip around my throat tightened and it became difficult to breath. "Look at me", His voice had turned into a seducing velvety whisper. "I know you want to." He knew what he wanted but he didn't allow himself, that's why me looking at him was forbidden. It brought out his monster, the beast that could only be tamed by one person. Who? ♤♡◇♧ A dangerous world awaits her, a world she didn't know existed. When the submissive falls among the dominating there's no end to the surprises and dangers lurking around. _______________________________ Highest ranking: #6 in vampire #2 in mystery #1 in romance _______________________________ @chrissy303 - My heart strings pulled just reading that...then again I get to deep into stories @sreeti - I'm so glad I read this book.

Hey guys, I originally wrote this story in 2012, and now-13 years later-I'm returning to it with fresh eyes, a bit more life experience, and a full heart. This version is a reimagined take on the original, and while it's still a first draft (with its fair share of rough edges), I'm beyond excited to finally share it with you. To those who have read, are reading, or will someday read this-thank you. Truly. Your support, your votes, your time-it all means a lot. If you have thoughts, feedback, or just want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. To everyone who's been part of this journey, even silently-thank you for being here. ❤️ - All rights reserved.

How wise could it possibly be to help a stranger you find bleeding in an alleyway at two in the morning? This alone could have life altering consequences that may not be beneficial to your immediate health. But when that man informs you that he is not even human, what are you supposed to believe? Is he a psychopath? Or worse, could he be telling the truth? In "Take My Hand," Jocelyn Madison, a young woman with a painful past, makes the choice to show compassion for an injured man who turns out to be Gabriel Carson, a vampire who despises the very immortality he has been granted. The two meet by chance, but in a world where everything happens for a reason, they just might turn out to be the saving grace that heals the pain of each of their pasts and paves the way for a new future if they can simply embrace the love that each can offer the other. The road will not be easy, as life has the tendency to throw speedbumps in our path just when we think we can't handle anything more, but the reward will be all the sweeter in the light of the challenges that must be overcome to attain it.

There wasn't anything setting Evangeline O'Shea differently from someone you notice very briefly on a train to the person buying a carton of milk and a newspaper in front of you at the store. That made moving to Vancouver that much easier. She didn't, however, expect to meet a man like Michael Reeves through an unlikely incident at Simon Fraser University. She didn't expect to fall for such a dark and mysterious man let alone her History lecturer... And when she finds out that this man is in fact no man at all, she wonders if love is worth risking her life over. **First novel in Vampire series**
