Saved by Her Vampires

By Doris O'Connor

Everyone knows that happily ever afters only happen in fairy tales. Real life is cruel and painful. Bianca may fantasize about the two hunks in the shadows, but that doesn't mean they’ll ever notice her. Men as sinfully sexy as the two brothers won’t want a crippled redhead like her.

The New Year has always been a painful reminder for Bianca. She helps out at the annual orphanage’s fancy dress fundraiser to help chase away her demons—until it’s time to leave.

When Sister Maria insists that Bernhard and Archie escort Bianca home, the events that follow change her life forever. The hottest sex she's ever had cannot account for the changes Bianca sees in the mirror. Vampires aren’t real, right?

Chapter One

And they lived happily ever after.

Bianca shut the book of fairy tales and suppressed a sigh. Little Jimmy had fallen asleep several pages ago—worn out by all the excitement from the fancy dress party and the sugar rush from having eaten his weight in cupcakes—yet Bianca had kept on reading. Life was simpler in fairy tales. The good always won and the princess got her knight in shining armor, even in the much naughtier adult versions she liked to read at home. She smiled to herself, recalling the particularly naughty fairy tale she’d read in bed the night before, which had resulted in the most delicious erotic dream yet. She knew only too well this wasn’t the case in real life. Men never looked at her twice, once they saw her leg brace.

After she was paralyzed in the tragic accident that killed her parents, it had taken years of excruciating therapy to enable her to walk. Whilst the brace meant she was as mobile as she could be, it was also ugly, and painful, and a permanent reminder of everything she’d lost. She bent down to ruffle Jimmy’s carrot top and sighed. She would never have a baby of her own, even if she were to find a man not only prepared to look past the scars, but also to want her for more than just a quick fuck.

Bianca suppressed a groan when she straightened her leg. She’d sat still for too long, and the sharp pain shooting to her groin took her breath away.

Are you all right, my dear? Sister Maria’s concerned voice forced a smile on Bianca’s face. The elderly nun stood in the slightly open doorway with a guarded expression on her kind, wrinkled face. I did think earlier, that you’d been overdoing it. All that dancing with the children. Let me arrange for a lift home. I’m sure Bernhard would be more than happy—

No, absolutely not! Bianca almost shouted her denial, and Sister Maria frowned at Bianca’s sudden outburst. 

Oh, good gravy. Bite her head off for no reason, why don’t you? But there was no way Bianca would be able to look the aloof Bernhard in the eye, let alone spent any time with him in the close confines of his car. She fought a blush at the mere thought. Bernhard, whose ice blue eyes seemed to look straight through her. Bernhard, with his six foot plus tall frame, impossibly broad shoulders, and slightly too long blond hair that he was always brushing off his forehead—star of last night’s erotic dream, together with his brother Archie—heavens no. She hadn’t seen much of them since she started to help out at the orphanage, but the odd glimpses had been more than enough to send her libido into overdrive.

What hot-blooded female could resist a pair of drop dead gorgeous specimens of manhood?
