Portia Cabot has loved Julian Kane since that fateful night
five years ago when the evil that had stolen his soul
trapped them together in a situation designed to end in
heartbreak. Instead, Portia saved Julian's life, if not his
soul, and has longed for the cursed man ever since. To
protect the woman it would be too easy to love, Julian left
London in search of what had been stolen from him.
Now, five years later, Julian and Portia meet again. After
a string of gruesome murders, Portia seeks out Julian,
fearful that he may be the monster behind the killings.
Time apart hasn't lessened the attraction between the two,
though their time together is threatened by a deadly
distraction from Julian's past. Despite the threats against
her, Portia is willing to risk all to be with Julian, until
the terror strikes against those she and Julian love. Now
there's a choice to be made: their love or the life of the
innocent. In the end, there truly is no choice for the pair.
THE VAMPIRE WHO LOVED ME is an outstanding follow-up to the
equally fantastic AFTER MIDNIGHT. With true flair, Ms.
Medeiros has created a sensually dark tale, taking fans
into the world of vampires in a story with a unique twist
to the vampire legend. It's fun catching up with old
characters Adrian and Caroline and Larkin and Vivienne.
Portia is the perfect foil for the cursed Julian, and their
devotion to one another and their family makes for an
enjoyable read. Fans who've eagerly awaited the story of
Julian and Portia won't be disappointed.
Julian Kane is back.
Once, as a girl of seventeen, beautiful, headstrong Portia
Cabot saved the life of the dashing vampire Julian Kane –
who marked her forever, then left to go in search of his
soul. He returns five years later to find the enchanting
young girl he left behind grown into a bewitching woman
with a woman's heart.. .and a woman's desires.
Portia quickly discovers that Julian's seductive and
forbidden kiss can still make her crave the night.. .and
his touch. But the Julian who has returned to London is
not the vampire she remembers. His fruitless pursuit of
his stolen mortality has reduced him to drunken
debauchery. And a recent spate of murders makes Portia
fear that the man she has always adored may truly be a
monster.
Julian knows he must drive Portia a way--but his passion
and hunger for her grows more irresistible every time they
touch. For years he has fought the temptation to embrace
his dark gifts, never realizing that Portia's love may
give him the most dangerous gift of all...a reason to
live...
