Eternal Embrace

By Ann Lory

Dimitri Alexios lives alone in his San Francisco mansion, if one could call loathing what he is and hating his maker living. Until he beholds the mortal woman who appears on his doorstep. Her gentleness brings light to his darkness, and her innocence calls to him. Yet she knows nothing of his world, or the dangerous predator that constantly rages within him.

Museum curator Cassie Stephens, sent to catalog antiques at the Alexios estate, is surprised to discover Dimitri is anything but the old man she expected. He’s handsome and darkly mysterious, not the sort who’s usually attracted to her girl-next-door looks. Yet she’s ensnared by his irresistible charm.

Cassie’s passion has touched a heart he thought no longer capable of love. Now he must turn his strength to a deadly task: a battle to save the woman he loves from the maker who would love nothing more than to rip her away from him...

Ann Lory

Ann Lory has been a fan of romance since she started reading her first romance novel at 13. She says the reason she has her true love today is because she wouldn't settle for anything less than what she found in all those pages...Okay, okay, okay...maybe he doesn't know how to ride a horse, or shoot a bow and arrow, doesn't crash through windows to get me out before the bomb goes off, and he doesn't have fangs, but in his heart I know he'd really want to do all those things for me...and he has been known to bite on occassion.I do love reading and writing romantic/sensual tales. Losing myself in characters I've created who sometimes argue with me about which way we're going to take the story and I find in the end that their way was best all along.A little bit more about me...I am a Missouri native. I love this state and I'm a BIG college football fan. Love my Missouri Tigers and you'll find me at pretty much every home game rooting them on. Yes, I'm the one in all black and gold, with beads and a hat and just bleeding the color all over. You know, the one in the camera going, "Woooo, we're number 1!" Okay, so maybe there's 60 thousand other people doing that too...but if you look really hard I'm the little dot right....there!I've been married to the same wonderful man for fourteen years. We have a son who is the spitting image of his father, and a daughter who is my "mini-me".Besides my love for reading and writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, and cycling on one of the local trails or out on the road with the big boys doing charity rides.Thanks so much for stopping by!Ann
