Shadow Of The Vampire

By Meagan Hatfield

Vampire princess Alexia Feodorovna has been undead for 125 years, so it's been awhile since any man has made her pulse race. Until Declan Black. One look at his bronzed body and a fire like no other consumes her.

Then she discovers that he's a dragon lord, come to take revenge on the vamps who killed his parents. And claim a crystal said to imbue its owner with incredible powers.

Alexia is ordered to torture and kill the dragon lord. Yet with each reckless encounter, she finds herself consumed by his fiery passion. A passion Declan battles, as well.

Will he be able to resist the fire of lust she kindles within him and keep revenge in his heart? Or will he risk everything to quench the burning desire and claim the vampire as his own?

Meagan Hatfield

An only child, essentially raised by her grandparents, Meagan read voraciously and always had a passion for the written word. She even wrote a young adult romance novel in high school. However, her main passion had always been dance. So, while Meagan dreamed of one day penning an Academy Award-winning screenplay and accepting her Oscar, she left California for Colorado State University to pursue a degree in the arts instead. Little did she know she wouldn't like the frigid winters found at the foot of the Rockies. Or that she'd one day decide the dancing (and the weather) was much better in L.A. So, after a few years at CSU, she moved back to the warm California sun, attending San Diego State University. Currently, Meagan lives back in the cold (don't ask her why) near Madison, Wisconsin, with her two kids and beloved Himalayan cat. She still loves to dance. In fact, Meagan's a certified Zumba Instructor, who can be found shakin' it with the other gym rats all week long. And she still thinks that if Ben and Matt can win an Oscar, then so can she.
