    About this ebook

    Vampires Destined Series

    Three vampires. Separate destinies. All desiring a woman to love them for who they are not what they are.

    ALL TITLES ARE STANDALONE AND DO NOT NEED TO BE READ IN ANY ORDER.

    Vampire Cursed
    Book I

    Cursed to live alone. Existing as cold, soulless vampire. His life is no longer his own.

    Nathaniel, Duke of Lehr, has been waiting for someone to love, a woman to break the witch's curse that holds him captive within the walls of his own home. For only unfettered, unconditional love will sever the ties binding him to a reality he abhors.

    Abby's been drawn to Castle Lehr for a long time. She wants an interview with the elusive owner, a chance for a big break in journalism. But the story isn't one she can write about in the newspaper.

    One moment, one connection, is all it takes for Nathaniel to realize his heart will be forever bound to Abby's, but could she ever trust a vampire much less love one?

      Chapter One

      Castle Lehr. She couldn’t believe she was here. Inside the walls lay the perfect blend of history and eighteenth century beauty. And she wasn’t just talking about the structure itself.

      The owner of the castle had long hidden himself away behind the reinforced walls, and she’d been the only reporter thus far to have been granted an audience. Fortune had smiled upon her. Her hands tingled as Abby climbed the stone steps leading up to the double, wooden doors gracing the entrance.

      She’d read about the expansive structure with its limestone, but it was the inside she wanted to see. She’d been salivating at the prospect of catching a glimpse of the castle’s glitter and beauty since she’d suggested this assignment to the senior editor of Life Abroad magazine. The owner’s agreement to take her on a tour had been a definite bonus in her book. With each step, she silently congratulated herself that she’d made it this far without turning back. For some unknown reason, nerves had kicked in the second she’d boarded the plane for England.

      As she reached the top of the stairs lined with potted delphiniums, one of the doors creaked open. Eyes wide, she leaned in toward the opening. Hello?

      Eyes the color of mud peered out at her.

      Abby gave a little yelp and stumbled backwards. Hello? she murmured again. I’m Abby Baker and I…

      The door opened wider before she could finish her sentence and a portly man wearing a knee-length waistcoat and buckled shoes positioned himself just across the threshold. Welcome.

      Abby hesitated before stepping inside. I’m not ordinarily so jumpy. It was probably the movie I watched last night. She clutched her leather bag closer. All about ghosts and the like.

      "No ghosts live inside Castle Lehr. I am Mr.
