Literally Bitten

By Victoria Blisse

Books brought them together, blood lust binds them, but can her puritanical father pull them apart?

Lily loves fiction and has done since she was a child. It was her escape from the harsh reality of life being brought up by just her over-protective dad. Tom only ever reads textbooks, claiming that there's enough to fascinate in this world and that he has no need to read about pretend places. But when he walks into Lily's book shop he finds out they have a lot more in common than he first thought.

When the young couple take a trip to the famous vampire and human bar, The Point, Lily gets a shock. Her estranged father is there as part of a Purity protest; he is violently opposed to her, Tom and anything that the cult calls unclean. Which is just about anything fun.

Can Lily and Tom overcome these prejudices and their own inexperience to find love that will last forever?

Chapter One

Lily didn’t believe in forever love—she wasn’t sure she believed in love at all but it was only a few days until the rest of the world celebrated Valentine’s Day so she had to make up her front window appropriately. She hated to be motivated by consumerism but she ran a bookshop and at the end of the day she had to sell books. So when she had finished strewing red roses and hearts in her main window and had filled it with classic romance books she decided it was time for a treat.

She settled herself down in her chair by the till and opened her book. She was revisiting a favourite from her past, a fantasy romp where the hero had a split personality, or he was a demon, whichever way you preferred to look at it. It was a volume she looked to when she needed comfort and an easy read. Some passages she knew off by heart but she always ended up being pulled deeply into the action within its pages. She’d always loved books, which was a shame as her father hated most of them, the interesting ones anyway. They hadn’t had fiction books in the house when she had been little. Her mother had died when Lily had been a tiny tot, so for as long as she remembered it had been just her and Dad.

When Lily had started school she’d discovered the library. She hadn’t been allowed to take books home but while she was in the school building she’d spent as much time there as she could. From her first day in reception to her last day in university, she would spend a chunk of every day in the library reading the fairy tale books she hadn’t been permitted to enjoy at home. She could never share the stories she loved with her father and she hated that. But he held very strict beliefs that seemed to get stricter with every passing year.

It had got to be all too much when he’d decided to join Purity. If you thought of the craziest cult you’d ever heard of you’d have an idea of what Purity was all about. A group of people from all walks of life who strove for moral perfection in everything. Lily had moved out just as Dad had taken to the group. She hadn’t been able to cope with how her father had changed. He had always yelled at her, telling her what she shouldn’t do. He had never given her any praise or affection. He believed it wasn’t pure. She had left five years ago and as much as she found it sad to have nothing to do with her only flesh and blood
