Anton since she was a young girl, and she is determined to entice him into
falling in love with her long before she ever makes it to the altar.

gorgeous but sinister vampire. Summer is about to enter a world of passion and
danger that will change her life forever.
Wolves and Black Roses Excerpt
She was entombed in darkness - a darkness so complete that
nothing existed beyond that black void but her own poisonous thoughts and
fears. The rapid pounding of her heart was like a relentless hammer beating
against her chest.
How long had she been here?
Terror had been her constant companion - its grip so tight
that she no longer knew what it felt like to not be afraid.
She could hear movement above the pounding of her heart.
Something scurried across the floor and brushed up against her leg.
Summer put a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. She
dare not make any noise for fear that she would wake them. For now they lay
rotting in their coffins - unaware of her and her terror.
There was another sound - a creaking. It came from the
direction of where the coffins were lined up against the cold - gray wall.
Something came out of the darkness to brush up against her
hair. Her mind exploded with panic, and she scrambled up the steep stairs to
the opening of the tomb.
Pounding and digging at the door, she could no longer
contain her terror and she began to shriek.
The heavy door creaked and groaned as it was pulled open.
For so long the darkness had stolen her sight, that now even the moonlight was
blinding.
She could see only a looming shadow that grew as it moved
toward her.
He stood there on the stone steps, a silhouette against the
moonlight streaming in from the open door of the tomb. His dark eyes resonated
an inner light - the light of the immortal.
Screaming, she backed away.
“Come my love,” he said, holding out his hand to her.
His eyes pulled at her - forcing her body to move against
her will. She placed her hand in his and he led her out of the tomb.
The vision of the gravestones bathed in the light of the
full moon was surreal - eerie, but she was aware of only one thing - her
captor.
Drawing her down into the grass, he positioned himself above
her. She felt the chill of his touch on her legs.
