The Llewellyn family has been protecting the King and Queen
for generations as Vampire Slayers. Rosalind Llewellyn is
the first Druid female to carry the mark of the Vampire
Slayers making her work and training harder than other
slayers. Rosalind's summons to the court of the current
King and Queen promises to be a difficult task, since that
new King has no idea that Vampires exist. It is up to
Rosalind to explain the situation to the King, hoping to
get the access she needs to protect them all. To Rosalind's
dismay, the Druid Slayer, Sir Christopher Ellis, is also at
court complicating the situation. The Llewellyn and Ellis
families have been at war for years with the Ellis side
slowly diminishing her line. Yet with the danger lurking at
court, they may have to set their feud aside.
Druid Slayer Sir Christopher Ellis can't believe the Druids
are insulting his skills by sending a woman to challenge
him at court. Sir Christopher's loyalty is to the Vampire
Council and their rules, while the Druids are out to
destroy those he is to protect. Rosalind Llewellyn's beauty
is obvious, but the fact she is quick-witted and extremely
talented with various blades provides a challenge to his
ego. Sir Christopher is unable to avoid the circumstances
that force him and Rosalind to join forces to stop the
threat against to crown. Dead bodies are turning up
everywhere. Thankfully, the situation is somewhat contained
until Sir Christopher and Rosalind can find out who or what
is murdering innocent people. A prophecy written long ago
proves fate has other ideas in mind throwing a Vampire and
Druid Slayer together.
KISS OF THE ROSE is an exciting and refreshing new story
enriched in history and the powers that be. I loved it!
First in a sexy new series that takes a bite out of the
court of King Henry VIII
Desperate to defeat King Richard III and gain the crown,

heirs to the Druids' struggle against vampires. Ever since,
the Llewellyns, a vampire-slaying family, have been in the
king's employ.
Now Henry VIII reigns, and his father's bargain has been
almost forgotten-until bloodless corpses turn up in the
king's bedchamber. To save the king, Vampire hunter Rosalind
Llewellyn must form an uneasy alliance with Druid slayer Sir
Christopher Ellis. But soon, Rosalind must face an
unthinkable truth: that her sworn enemy may be her soulmate...
