From that day, she vowed to do everything in her power to prevent history from repeating itself. When a similar situation presents itself more than fifteen years later, Eleanor employs every method above board to stop it. Will those methods be enough? How much is she willing to sacrifice to keep that promise? Is it a promise worth keeping if it means changing the very nature of her being?

ROSES FOR THE DEAD
You wake up starving. Not for food-for something far worse. Eleanor has no memory of her past life-only the certainty that she is no longer human. Stopped before she can make a fatal mistake, she is taken in by William Bloom, a centuries-old vampire who offers her refuge in his secluded Virginia manor. At Bloom Manor, she discovers a family of ancient predators bound by rules meant to keep their existence hidden: a watchful patriarch, a haunting mother, a boy who should never have been turned-and three sisters guarding a secret that could change everything. But something is wrong. Vampires are vanishing. Old powers are stirring. And Eleanor begins to suspect her transformation was no accident. To uncover the truth, she must master the darkness within her... or be consumed by it. ********** "I don't think you want him," he said. "You don't?" she whispered. "No." His breath brushed her ear.
