    About this ebook

    What do you do when the Vampire King wants you in his harem?

    Matheus Lindgern is the new Vampire King and interested in only two things: repairing the badly damaged relationships with neighboring kingdoms and finding a mate to become his queen.

    The moment Alice walks into his manor, his blood is on fire. He knows he wants her, but what he doesn't know is that she is a powerful witch who could easily destroy him if she wanted to.

    Curvy and beautiful Alice is a warrior who has served in the war against the Vampires. When the war finally comes to an end, she retires to a small village far away from the politics of the courts. But her plans to become a healer are cut short when she is abducted to the King's harem.

    Alice is determined to hate the King and escape as soon as possible. But she knows she's in trouble when she discovers just how sexy he is. Even though every instinct is warning her, she is slowly falling for the king, who might not be the monster she thought him to be. Her determination to get home begins to waver, especially once she discovers something is growing in her belly...

    But she soon finds out that not everyone in the Vampires' courts has good intentions. Someone is planning a deadly attack and Alice must do what she can to stay alive and protect the ones she loves…

    This is a 16,000 words stand-alone story with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers! It contains mature language and is intended for 18+ readers only.

      Chapter One

      The sunset painted the sky in rich, golden tones above towering evergreens. The world seemed to be ready to settle in for a long night. A basket full of spring’s first flowers and herbs resting against her hip, Alice made her way down the foggy path towards her cottage, determined to reach home before day slipped completely into night. Pulling open the door to her small shop and home, she went inside and pulled her damp cloak from around her shoulders, allowing a cascade of curly chestnut hair to fall down around her shoulders.

      You were out an awfully long time, a velvety voice drawled from the corner of the room. Sprawled out across a stack of books on Alice’s disorganized desk was a slender black and white cat, who stared back at her with a pair of bright yellow eyes. I figured you would hurry home, what with the new moon tonight, he continued, licking his paw with a nonchalant look on his face.

      If I was concerned with the townsfolk taking advantage of my temporary weakness I would have hurried, but since I no longer serve as a mercenary I am not worried. Thank you for your concern, Talon, she said, setting her basket full of goodies on a table and starting to sort them out to let them dry.

      Talon had been her companion for almost a hundred years. She had adopted him after finding him in the crumbled ruins of a town destroyed by one of the many warlords she had been hired to fight against. He had been just a kitten, and after so many years of exposure to magic he had not only gained immortality but a place at her side as a familiar. He was her dearest companion and, for the longest time, had been her only friend.

      I found a fantastic little flower patch just past that stream we came across the other day, and I was finally able to locate that feverfew that I need for the shield spell I wanted to enchant my talismans with, she continued, separating out the flowers before moving over to the stove to start warming up water for her tea.

      I remember it. You let me fall into the stream when I went after that mouse, wicked woman, Talon huffed, glancing up at her with a glare when she snorted and sat beside him at her desk with her cup of tea.

      You wouldn’t have fallen in if you had listened to me and left the poor thing alone, she hummed, flipping open one of her journals and starting to scribble down the directions to the feverfew. She tended to be a bit forgetful with so much information in her head. She wasn’t 140 any longer. Anything interesting happen in town while I was out? I assume you were spying on the locals. She smiled when the cat glared at her.

      I was not spying, I was merely observing, but, yes, I did notice something strange, he said, stretching with a yawn before continuing. I saw a group of newcomers, a rather suspicious group. They were lurking around the inn. Pale, red eyes, I’m sure you understand my intrigue at their arrival. Alice’s silver eyes flashed with interest.

      Oh? Vampires this far north? Now, that is strange. She frowned, spinning around in her chair to snag a book off the shelf. I didn’t think they ever left their territory in the west, not since they lost territory to the shifters twenty years ago, she mumbled, opening her book and examining the map in front of her. "Ostende mihi," she ordered, swearing when the page slowly started to light up before it went dark once again.

      New moon, dearest. You won’t be able to use divination until at least tomorrow, Talon reminded her with a knowing little hum.

      Glaring up at the cat with an irritated look on her face, Alice closed the book and leaned back in her chair. The last thing that she wanted to
