"I know what you
are..."
As a prima ballerina
for the Houston Symphony Ballet
Company, Lorena Childs is used to
having people stare at her after a
performance, especially when on tour
with her company. But when she meets
the dark stare of Conor Blake, a
parent of one of the kids she’s been
guest teaching at a local dance
studio, she doesn’t find the usual
fan’s adulation. If anything, Conor
looks furious, despite his polite
words. And when he shakes her hand
before leaving, the shock that races
up her arm is anything but normal
chemistry between a man and a woman.
Then he shows up during her company’s
rehearsals the next day and says the
words she hears so often in her
nightmares…”I know what you are.” Can
she convince him not to take away her
only remaining happiness and the last
tie to her former human life?
As a descendent of a
local group of blood-born witches,
Conor grew up hearing the warnings
about how vampires would always crave
his blood above another human’s due to
the powerful energy his kind are able
to draw up. But even though the
existence of day walker vampires is
generally accepted now, they usually
prefer to stay in the closet and try
to appear as normal humans. And they
certainly never came to the East Texas
town of Taylorsville. So he never
dreamed that his own daughter would be
in dangerous proximity to one,
especially not at her dance studio.
Yet not only has one of the loveliest
predators come to their town, but she
is actually guest teaching innocent
children every day. He intended to
confront Lorena and threaten to reveal
her secret to the public if she does
not immediately leave her ballet
company and stay away from all
children. But once he is alone with
her backstage, the pull she creates
within him becomes stronger than his
original plans, leaving him to
wonder…how will he protect his loved
ones and the innocents of his town
when he can’t even seem to protect
himself from Lorena’s powerful
attraction?
