He refuses to be forgotten.
Leon promises Demi the life she deserves, full of power and love, but Demi doesn't know she has signed her life away, agreeing to be his bride; the most essential key to Leon's plan.
Can she survive in the world he has thrust her in, and most importantly can Leon convince Demi to love him before it's too late?

Roses for Rachel
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.Complete

I scoot further away but he stalks closer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vivienne Lucetti spent her life protected by lies-sheltered from the brutal mafia empire her brothers rebuilt after their parents were murdered.

Should I pick a name out of a hat?" "You're not a boy anymore. It's time you settled down." His smirk faded. Love? Marriage? Not again. Not after her.

"I'm practical. You're pregnant with my child. In my world, that means marriage." "In my world, that means two people who barely know each other shouldn't make life-altering decisions based on one night." "Your world is over."
