Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Susan Sizemore presents an exciting twist on her popular Primes series: the novel read by the one and only Vampire Book Club! Share the thrills as you discover a hidden world where passions and fear run high, and a vampire General and an Empire princess together find illicit, unquenchable desire....
A twist of fate made Zoe Pappas heir to the Byzant throne. Bound by duty and devotion to keep the Empire safe, Zoe is captured while on a secret diplomatic mission and sent to an underground prisoner-of-war camp. In this strange, shadowy place, residents are governed by fellow inmate General Matthias "Doc" Raven, whose powerful magnetism rouses an urgent desire in Zoe. But the intensity of her attraction is matched by her surprise at discovering that Doc has a secret of his own: he is a vampire.
Zoe's presence puts everyone in the camp in danger. Doc knows it, and knows too that Zoe's royal status makes it impossible for her to bond with a vampire. The only way to save her is to help her escape, and lose her forever. But some fires are impossible to quench, even when following your heart is the ultimate taboo....
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Sizemore launches the Vampire Book Club series with a far-future paranormal romance supposedly read by characters in her Primes novels (Primal Needs, etc.). Human diplomat Zoe Pappas is negotiating with the alien Asi when the enemy Hajim attack and seize her command ship. Taken to a prison planet where humans uneasily coexist with other species, Zoe finds that the human leader, the physically imposing Brig. Gen. Matthias Raven, refuses to allow any escape attempts. Disguised as a navy lieutenant, Zoe attempts to navigate the prison's unfamiliar system and her attraction to Matthias while hiding her powers and guarding a dangerous secret. When an unexpected threat closes in, they must join forces to save all the prisoners. Though technically a stand-alone, this tale will appeal most to Primes readers tickled by the idea of Sizemore writing her own fanfic.
