His Verae

By Kara Lockley

All he wanted was her blood, but he got a lot more than he bargained for.

Luke had always been a loner, for hundreds of years. A vampire drifting from town to town. He never expected to fall for his prey.

Karina didn't know what it was about the gorgeous man staring at her from across the nightclub, but she knew she wanted to know more about him.

Little did either of them know his presence in her life would lead to a battle for her soul.

This is a novella of 23,500 words. This book was previously titled "Blood Gifts".
