Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

I've always had a thing for vampires. They are so damned sexy! I don't know why that is, but it just IS. I've written little stories here and there throughout my life about these creatures of the night. In this book I decided to make them my own, with my own rules and regulations for how they live- and die! I took an old story and made it fresh and new.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;font-size:11pt;">What would you do if you found an alien spaceship that had crashed, and the sole survivor, who is injured, and looks quite human, asks for help? That’s what happens to Willa, and she thinks it’s a simple enough thing, until she discovers that he’s a vampire from another world. From that moment on nothing seems to go as planned, and her simple world is turned upside down, as she risks everything to save her world, and her heart in this erotic thriller from Julie Achterhoff. </span></p> <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;">I found it to be a refreshing change from the vampire stories that are out there, well thought out, with more than a few surprises. <span> <br />by Neil Leckman<br /></span></span></span></span>
