Beautiful Souls

Marina had a very tough life, growing up in a very abusive foster home. She was being raised to be the "perfect wife" to be married off for profit once she aged out of the foster care system. With time ticking, she escapes the home late one night by climbing out of the attic window to find a kind man she had met years ago in hopes that he will help get her foster sisters out of the home. after wandering the city of Williamsburg, Virginia for about six months, she finally finds the home of the man but is weak, sick, and hungry. James, a doctor, and his wife, Bethany decide to take her in, but there is only one way they can personally guarantee that Marina won't be taken from them. They are Vampires, who have lived in the city since 1890, James working on and off as a physician and Bethany a journalist. James "Adopts" Marina with intent to nurse her back to health in a stable home, and to help get her sisters away from the situation that she had previously escaped. The couple help marina find her worth by giving her the care that she needs, and introducing her to their friends and family who welcome her with open arms. along the way, Marina finds out more about herself than anyone could have ever imagined.
