The Trelayne Inheritance — Colleen Shannon

A Dark Legacy

Women were dying, the blood drained from their bodies and two mysterious pinprick marks imprinted on their necks. And for all her training as a chemist, Angelina Corbett could not help wondering whether the whispers of "vampire" haunting her uncle's isolated estate might have a basis in fact especially after meeting their enigmatic neighbor, the earl of Trelayne.

Locked in his powerful embrace as they waltzed across an opulent ballroom, Angel felt rational thought flee. His golden good looks rivaled the brilliance of Apollo, but an impenetrable shadow dogged his every step. His voice mesmerized her, his eyes silently beseeched her, his touch enflamed her and left her longing for fulfillment. She did not need scientific evidence to know he was her soul mate, but would his dance lead her to the heights of ecstasy or the downward spiral of the damned?
