Forever and
a Night
by Lana
Campbell
Genre:
Paranormal Romance
Nathan Davenport is being stalked by
Isabella Ravini, the feral vampire who stole his
human life over a hundred and sixty years ago. She
made him her fledging, a slave for
her dark, evil purposes—hunting humans. After a few
years she released him, and
Nathan reluctantly learned to accept the cursed
life she’d foisted upon him.
Over time he amassed a great fortune, which today
has made him famous
worldwide. Isabella decides she wants to be a part
of this world of fame and fortune
Nathan created for himself. She’s determined to
marry him, and love has nothing to do
with it. His money is her primary target, and the
fame and prestige attached to being
the wife of one of the richest men in the world
wouldn’t be so bad either.
In an effort to evade her until he can figure out
how to stop her, he hides at a safe
house he owns in New Orleans. One Saturday evening
in NOLA, he decides to have
dinner in the city. He chooses a quiet little
Italian bistro, never imagining this night
will change his life forever. The human woman who
delivers his order isn’t a server,
but the restaurant’s sous chef, a beautiful ethnic
woman possessing the most delicious
blood scent he’s ever encountered.
The moment Mia Peebles arrives at his table with
his plate, tasting her becomes
an obsession. Mia wants nothing to do with him
because of Nathan’s reputation as a
playboy. So Nathan enchants her, feeds from her,
but his lusts for her blood and body
play havoc with his thinking.
Nathan finds a way to bring her into his life as
his personal chef and quickly falls
in love with her. The trouble is Mia has no idea
he’s a vampire because during the
enchanting episodes, Nathan blocked her memories of
those sensual encounters.
How will Nathan tell her the truth without losing
her and keep Isabella from
finding him? Or worst yet, will Isabella discover
how much Mia has come to mean
to him?

“You’re having a very late dinner.” Mia’s head shot up, her gaze
slashing toward her right. The speaker was that drop-dead-gorgeous man she’d
delivered the one top order to earlier, and he was standing beside her holding
a glass of wine. She swallowed the bite in her mouth and said, “This tends to
be my normal dinner hour. How was your dinner?” She was surprised to still find
him here but not unusual she supposed. Tavania’s was one of the tamer
establishments here on Bourbon Street. Guests, whether single or in a group,
often came here to eat, hook up to Wi-Fi and work, or just hang out in a
nonparty atmosphere. “Amazing, actually. You’re a talented chef.” He took up
residence on the stool next to her and sat his glass on the bar.
Mia noticed him studying her. His eyes, the
most beguiling she’d ever seen, held intrigue. She felt a little unnerved by
his perusal, but she chalked it up to a customer desiring to speak to the chef.
It happened all the time. Mostly with Joe because he was head chef. Happy
guests often asked to speak to him. She had a roll to play. So play it she
would. Mia pushed aside her plate and smiled. “I’m Mia Peebles. Is this your
first time at Tavania’s?” She extended her hand. He gave it a cordial shake.
“Yes. I drove by tonight and decided it might
be a quiet place to do some work. Not so much, but I managed to accomplish what
I needed to. I’m Nathan Davenport.”
Mia laughed. “Yes, it was a bit crazy
tonight. It’s good to meet you, Nath—” She broke off and glared at him. Her
heart did a little trip over in her chest when her brain cells began to fire
and comprehend the name the man had given her.

Experiments
Forever and a
Night Book 2
Christian is the exception to Tiffany’s
rule that all males are louses. For years Tiffany has lusted after Christian
and of late she can’t help but wonder what it might be like to have a brief
fling with him. The opportunity to explore her secret fantasy appears when
Christian offers her a job as the IT person for his practice, the V clinic. She
knows if he gives her the green light, she’s going to have a romp with her sexy
vampire. When the night finally arrives and she and Christian have sex, the
experience is so overwhelmingly powerful, Tiffany backpedals and tries to turn
down the heat between them. She’s human. He’s a vampire. She can’t afford to
fall in love with him.
Christian has other ideas. During their sexual
encounter, he discovers Tiffany is his life mate and he vows to change her
thinking. His intentions are put on hold when he gets caught up in an angel of
death’s vicious plan to chemically terminate V clinic patients’ pregnancies.
Tiffany herself falls victim to a lethal dose of arsenic and Christian can only
save her by turning her into a vampire. She’s furious when she wakes from her
turning and discovers what Christian has done. She wants nothing to do with him
ever again, but when she’s kidnapped by this angel of death and used as a
guinea pig for deadly experiments she only has Christian to turn to save her
life.

Nathan’s men rushed inside, Christian at
their heels. He flipped up his sunglasses and looked about the inky darkness of
a huge garage, plenty luminous for vampire eyes. Another standard door led to
the belly of the building in the far right corner. He headed toward it, behind
Nathan’s six men. Asa, Dominic and Nathan took up the rear, single file behind
him.
Two of Nathan’s men took the battering ram to the interior door.
Once it was relieved of it’s hinges, Christian rushed inside behind four of
Nathan’s men. He expected to be met by the very least the brother armed to defend
his turf, but instead two young thin vampire girls with hideously gray skin and
gaunt features stood in a long hall just out a doorway to his right. The scent
of chili wafted from the room, and Christian assumed it to be a kitchen.
