Hi, I’m Kim Allred, and I’d like to introduce you to my debut paranormal romance book, SEDUCTION IN BLOOD. This isn’t your everyday paranormal romance. Cressa and Devon’s story is filled with mystery and intrigue wrapped in an underworld of cosmopolitan vampires on the cusp of a civil war. And as Cressa is drawn deeper into the magical world, she’s haunted by a past best left forgotten. The next book, VISIONS IN BLOOD, is out this month.

E is for the Enigmatic, ancient outcast Devon Trelane
D is for a Debt owed by Cressa to save a friend
U is for the Unscrupulous bounty hunter who catches Cressa and trades her into the magical world to pay her debt

T is for Thief, Cressa’s day job where she’s known as Pandora

O is for outcast, which has propelled Devon to develop a long-developed mission to remove his censure and regain his position on the vampire council. A plan solidified into action when Cressa, a thief, joins the team
N is for networking Vampires have their own social events including Tea Houses and Tea Parties – and these are not your mother’s afternoon events. Some are steeped in culture, others are a great deal naughtier, and a few are the perfect setting for a theft.
I is for interconnected magical creatures Devon’s scheme to remove his censure and become a leading voice on the council to safeguard the future of all species depends on his partnership with the shifters
N is for NOT your everyday paranormal romance – expect the unexpected

O is for the overbearing and uncaring stepfather, a man Cressa thought she’d left behind, but who, years later, becomes frantic in his search to track her down
D is for the Dreams shared between Cressa and Devon. Realistic dreams filled with true sensory perceptions that at times are intimate and other times macabre
Debts still owed…
Secrets still buried…
Devon’s whispered words haunt. “What are you, Cressa Langtry?”
It probably meant nothing. But it might be everything.
Cressa Langtry, professional cat burglar, still owes a debt to the notorious and beguiling vamp, Devon Trelane, and what she thought was a quick mission to pay off a sizable debt was only a trial run.
Devon, in a show of faith, has sweetened the pot. Now she has a way to not only pay off her debt but earn a big bonus. But as expected, the road to freedom is fraught with landmines. Her stepfather is still hounding her, Devon has rarely been seen since the vampire ball, and her days have become…boring.
When vamps attack Ginger, her best friend, the game changes.
A family heirloom turns Cressa’s dreams into nightmares and an ancient vampire book could provide answers to the centuries-long blood rift between Devon and the smarmy Lorenzo. Assuming she lives long enough to find it.
Maybe boring wasn’t the right word after all.

Kim Allred grew up in Southern California but now enjoys the quiet life in an old timber town in the Pacific Northwest where she raises alpacas, llamas, and an undetermined number of free-range chickens. Just like her characters, Kim loves sharing stories while sipping a glass of wine or slurping a strong cup of brew.
Her spirit of adventure has taken her on many journeys including a ten-day dogsledding trip in northern Alaska and sleeping under the stars on the savannas of eastern Africa. Nowadays, she prefers staying on the farm, surrounded by her critters, while she dreams up stories among the firs and cedars. But that itch to travel again is getting stronger.
