Bonded by Blood

Paranormal romance gets a sexy addition with London's sizzling series debut. As a Guardian vampire, Dominic Serrano protects humans from Darkbloods, a dangerous faction of rogue vampires. Darkbloods target humans with a potent and addictive blood type: Sangre Dulce, or sweetblood. When Dominic is injured during an assignment, he is discovered by Mackenzie Foster-Shaw, a sweetblood, and in his weakened state nearly drains her dry. To save her, he offers some of his blood, which is highly illegal and bonds the two emotionally and telepathically. Dominic becomes infatuated with Mackenzie and neither can resist their growing attraction. When Pavlos, a Darkblood Overlord bent on supplying the entire Seattle area with sweetblood, sets his sights on Mackenzie, Dominic will do anything to protect her. London's novel take on the vampire mythos creates a spellbinding look into a dark and dangerous world. The sex is hot, the story intense, and readers will be thirsty for more. (Feb.)
