Blood Bound

Blood Bound
Heather McGrandia

Emily Jordan's life as an English major is about to take an unexpected turn. In a critical financial pinch, she takes a year off from the university to work as a domestic for the billionaire Blackwood brothers in their lavish estate. She hopes to earn enough money to finish her master's degree.

She barely arrives when she meets the twin Blackwood brothers who are both instantly attracted to her. Joel relishes in Emily's every breath. Jackson is the tortured soul for whom passion and penance are synonymous. Joel is a mystic who wants nothing more than to achieve nirvana. Jackson is the alpha brother who shoulders all responsibility for the family's international industrial contracting and engineering firm. With Joel and Jackson, Emily explores two very different worlds of sensuality under the watchful eye of the abusive head housekeeper who condemns Emily's every move.

Both brothers have their charms, and Emily finds them attractive, each in their own way. Soon she suspects there's more to the Blackwoods powerful attraction than their looks. A palpable energy engulfs her in their presence. Soon she learns the reason. They harbor a terrible secret. They're both vampires. Will she do the sensible thing and leave before they know she has discovered their curse? Or will she stay and give in to the passion growing inside her? If she stays for passion, what will be her penance?

This edition is a significantly modified and revised version of a volume previously published by Turquoise Morning Press, Torquere Press, and Southern Owl Publications under the same title.
