Desire Eternal: Hunger (Desire Eternal, #10) (ePub)

Lili and Elic are pursued by a pair of rapacious vampires. "Fast-paced and wildly exciting." –Romance Junkies

Anton Turek, who nearly cost Lili her life in Lick of the Flame, returns to the Castle of the Hidden Grotto accompanied by the even more powerful and sadistic Galiana Solsa. The two satisfy their voracious sexual appetites while feeding on their prey, often bleeding them dry. Weary of playing lapdog to the domineering Galiana, Anton renews his quest to possess Lili, the beautiful succubus with whom he's been obsessed for centuries—while Galiana sets her sights on the godlike, insatiable Elic, whom Lili loves but can never make love to. Desire and vengeance reach a fever pitch at the castle during an invitation-only Renaissance festival with a BDSM twist.

Hunger is a 45,000-word novel with generous doses of dominance and submission, featuring a rapacious Vampire dominatrix with kinky appetites who bites off more than she can chew. (See what I did there?) It was originally published by Bantam Dell in a series that was written under a different pen name.

"This book can be read on so many levels. It is completely satisfying as a picture of sensual pleasure. It is also a beautiful portrayal of love and romance… that stands the test of time. And for those readers who like a little bloodsucking horror and mayhem, that base is also covered. I've read it through several times and see new things each time. I love this series and look forward to more of [Louisa Crane's] sexually inventive tales." –Romance Reader at Heart, Top Pick

"Fast-paced and wildly exciting... it made me blush more than once."–Romance Junkies

"Fans of [Louisa Crane's] steamy fantasy saga through the ages will relish the return to the mysterious Castle of the Hidden Grotto with this delightfully decadent novel." –Genre Go Round
