    About this ebook

    After a hectic year when she comes close to death, Luanne Kylor is finally getting her life back in order. She’s a few months from her 18th birthday and is a freshman in the nearby college. She has finally managed to blend in and would pass for any other young woman on campus. But Luanne is different. She is a BORN vampire; that evolved breed of vampires who were born into their heritage and are as close to mortal as a vampire can get.

    Just like most young women, she’s in love with Dylan. The only problem is, after they exchanged one kiss, Dylan has kept his distance from her. Several phone calls later, she’s finally decided to move on and start dating. Only Dylan has something to say about that and Luanne’s date turns violent.

    In the midst of all the drama, her grandmother is abducted. Once again, the stone pendant Luanne wears is the answer to the mystery. Together, she and Dylan set out on a journey back to England, the country of Luanne’s birth in order to rescue her grandmother, and discover why the stone is of such importance.

    I started writing romance fiction since I was 16 years old. I'm now a published writer thanks to the wonderful world of ebooks.I live in Canada and I love the winter months. As you can see, I wrote several books related to the winter holidays.I'm not represented by an agent and I'm a proud indie. I have learned how to create websites and edit images, design book covers, etc. All my books and what you see on this website I have created myself.I'm currently a certified accountant but my dream is to be a full-time independent writer of hot erotic romance books.

      Chapter One

      Hi, my name is Luanne Kylor and I'm a freshman at one of the colleges in California. I live with my grandmother, Katrina. And I'm a vampire. I know you probably weren't expecting to hear that. Well, not many people know, not even my best friend, Claire.

      You see, I'm not like any vampires you know. Nothing like what you watch on TV, either. I belong to a race of vampires known as the Pereneans, or the Born vampires. We were not made or created. No one bit me on the neck or anything like that. I was born a vampire. We've come a long way as vampires and have gone through what you might call evolution. Sunlight still bothers us but not enough to do any serious harm, unless you count sunburn. And that thing about killing us with the stake? That is so eighteenth century. Even the silver bullet thing doesn't work anymore. Like I said, we've evolved.

      Last year was a hard year for me. A lot of stuff went down in my life. First, I got attacked and almost lost my life, but that's a different story altogether. Second, I met Dylan. Now that is a story worth telling, or it would be, if there were any story to tell.

      Dylan is a Vampire Protector and he belongs to the order of protectors.
