Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking
unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney
drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the vampire slayers of
the Gardella family, these immortal creatures would have long taken
over the world. In every generation, a Gardella is called to accept
the family legacy, and this time, beautiful young debutante,
Victoria Gardella Grantworth, is chosen to carry the stake. But as
she moves between the crush of ballrooms and dangerous, moonlit
streets, Victoria's heart is torn between London's most eligible
bachelor, the Marquess of Rockley, and her enigmatic ally, Sebastian
Vioget. And when she comes face to face with the most powerful
vampire in history, Victoria must ultimately make the choice between
duty and love.
Colleen Gleason has been writing for as long as she can remember,
