The vampire Soren grieves the loss of his wife so long ago;
he
makes a bargain with Leila, a dark voodoo priestess with her
own agenda, to bring his mate back to him. Harley Vaughnn
appears at his sensual resort as a lust slave, and Soren is
sure the evil woman came through, but how is he to claim her
as his mate when Leila wants that spot as part of Soren's
payment on her favor?
This writeup may sound like the start of any given
vampire/mate paranormal romance, but the story just keeps
spiraling in increasingly interesting ways. The tale expands
its own mythos to create a really fantastic story that
should
make you want to rush out and read TEMPTATION AT TWILIGHT as
well as any future Lords of Pleasure works.
"Excess has long been the name of the game for vampire brothers Aldric, Soren, and Luc Fontaine. Now they're letting everyone play--at La Petite Mort, New Orleans's hottest fantasy resort for uninhibited adults. Everyone who is willing to pay the price, that is... Soren Fontaine has something in common with his two brothers: a lonely existence without a mate. He's still grieving the tragic loss of his wife almost a century ago. That changes when Leila, a seductive voodoo priestess, offers Soren anything he wants. It's a dangerous bargain but he agrees--at the cost of bonding him forever to Leila's dark desires. When gorgeous Harley Vaughn arrives at La Petite Mort, it appears Leila has held up her end of the deal, since Soren is convinced that Harley is the reincarnation of his late wife. While they feverishly explore the resort's many pleasures and their own inexhaustible fantasies, Soren and Harley develop an even deeper emotional connection--the one that Soren has so desperately wanted. But locked as he is in the twisted embrace of a voodoo witch, Soren may lose his mate once again--and this time, for all eternity"--
