ACACIA: Abducting Aeron
Changeling Press
Genre: Erotic futuristic VampireApril 18, 2008
http://www.changelingpress.com/author.php?uid=77
Aeron is a vampire spy who spends more time on Rahla than on his new home world, but suddenly his cover is blown and he finds himself at the mercy of his human, planet side contacts and desperate to get back to the safety of Acacia.

Helia is drawn to Aeron despite her sister’s dire warnings. When he’s captured by the human catcher guards she goes in to rescue him, offering her protection, her blood and her body.


UNEDITED EXCERPT

Helia craved the strength she felt in the arms of this virtual stranger. She didn’t understand it. Didn’t really want to. Trusting him had been easy from first sight, which had only been a week ago. Still, her own contacts had found nothing yet about her father. Aeron was her only hope of finding her father alive, or whatever version of life the vampires had.
After sharing a world with the undying ones, she should know more about than she did. Instead she’d allowed them to become no more than a word that meant different. But Aeron didn’t feel so very different. If anything he felt more right than any human man ever had before.
His cool strength enveloped her while one hand slowly stroked up and down her back, soothing her like a child.
But she wasn’t a child. The casual touch sent waves of pleasure vibrating through her body, tightening her desire, making it obvious that her body wanted more than just to be held. She’d wanted more right from the first moment she’d met him. More… of everything he had to offer and yet, for a week they had only danced around the attraction.
She was done dancing.
