A Romance In Central City, Box Set 2, Novellas 5 - 8

Twenty years ago a fire at Panthera Laboratories left Central City in ruins. Today The Vampire Guard stands between the residents of the city and a man fueled by power, money and cruelty.

Can love survive in the ruins of Central City?

The Vampire's Penance
Exposure to sunlight, silver binds and colloidal silver can make any vampire’s existence worst than miserable. Not to mention photographic evidence of Rafe Valentino’s weakest moment is now being shared with every member of The Vampire Guard. In barely a few hours Rafe went from being one of the most terrifying creatures to walk the earth to requiring round the clock nursing care. Now, forced to rely on the company nurse he can’t avoid the feelings he’s denied. But simply because they exist, doesn’t make them right, and if she knew the truth about his past, she’d throw out her nursing pledge and put a stake through his cold heart.

Is two hundred fifty years of solitude punishment enough for his sins? Can Rafe forgive himself enough to love Maddie?

The Vampire's Prophecy
Loneliness can cause a man to make stupid decisions, like walking straight into an obvious trap. But after weeks of internet chats, sexy text messages, and sweet phone calls with the lovely woman posing as bait, Gabriele Barone has no choice but to see this thing through to the end even if that means giving up his freedom to save her.


Her Vampire Protector
If someone has to die in order to save the citizens of Central City from the heinous experiments of Panthera Laboratories, Oswald Addison would gladly volunteer. But a three-hundred-year-old vampire should never have to choose between dying to save those he has sworn to protect or living with the knowledge he is responsible for their doomed existence—especially when the life of the woman he loves is at stake.

Realizing Selene is Panthera’s next target, Oz is forced to share the secret about what happened on the night they met and risk losing her forever.

The Vampire's Purgatory
How long must one man suffer before he is free to love again?

Ricard Diaz is absolutely certain that applying logic to the vampire bond will reveal a secret that’s eluded him for hundreds of years and held him prisoner for longer than he can remember. But with the safety of so many innocents resting on his devotion to ending Raymond Tyrone’s ruthless experiments the vampire scientist must wait to free his heart from its never-ending torment.
