One Small Bite

Pemberthy Parker grew up having very little in her lower middle class community, but from these humble beginnings emerges the woman destined to be Queen. At first, it seems like a dream that one day she will return to her mother’s kingdom and her vampire coven as it’s ruler.

Pem’s mother left the coven and married a mortal many years ago after fleeing her own arranged marriage to King Vitale, a man she did not love. She did not, however, escape the King’s indignant wrath. Desperate to keep the crown in the Urbino family, the king on his death, arranged the betrothal of her daughter Pem and his cousin Fortuno.

Now Pem finds herself the victim of an elaborate intrigue, in a world that is completely foreign to her. She has been betrayed by her own mother, her husband has been executed and she fears for the life of her son after the courts annul her marriage and declare her son a bastard. It is only then that she finds she is merely a pawn in a much larger plot by the Milan family in their relentless quest for power.

The players in this drama are not only driven by their insatiable thirst for power but they have been cursed for many centuries by their primitive cravings for blood and lust. In their quest to satisfy their ancient cravings, this vampire coven takes naughty to a whole new level. Their bodies crave satisfaction and they will get it in any way they can. This is the story of seduction, power and lust, and the intricate web of intrigue and betrayal that entwines these elements in a kingdom where there is no ‘happily ever after’.
