The Night Inside

Nancy Baker, 2014
Grad student Ardeth Alexander lives by her schedule. But that changes when she is abducted and taken to an abandoned asylum to provide sustenance for a centuries-old vampire. Dimitri Rozokov has been asleep for decades and now finds himself pushed to insanity by torture and hunger. Breaking past his madness, Ardeth discovers the man within, and the nightly feeding sessions become less frightening and more sensuous. But she knows there is no good ending to her ordeal. Desperate to escape, eager for revenge, and tempted by immortality, she boldly descends into the darkness.

Blood and Chrysanthemums

Nancy Baker, 2014
With a dark embrace from five-hundred-year-old vampire Dimitri Rozokov, Ardeth Alexander left behind her mortal life. Now they are attempting to forge a new life in a mountain town. However, their new reality is far from easy and soon Ardeth flees back to Toronto. But the machinations of an ancient Japanese vampire reunite the couple. Once a feudal lord, now a yakuza boss, Sademori Fujiwara shares his extraordinary life story. It is a tale that can answer the questions of love, mortality, and morality threatening to tear Ardeth and Dimitri apart for good. But the price for those answers is dangerously high.

A Terrible Beauty

When a mysterious woman threatens to expose his father’s academic misconduct years earlier, struggling painter Matthew Donovan sets off for her remote mansion to settle the debt. He finds Sidonie Moreau intriguing but is horrified to discover her true goal: his blood, willingly given. No harm will come to him if he refuses, but each night, she must ask, and he must answer. Trapped by the vast wilderness all around them, he has no choice but to submit to her terms. Although he vows never to agree, Matthew cannot ignore her smile, her charm, or the sorrow in her eyes. Grappling with secrets within his heart, tempted by desire and despair, he knows one night he just might say yes.

Cold Hillside

Nancy Baker, 2014
Generations ago, the rulers of the mountain city of Lushan made a deal with the Faerie Queen for their survival. But one year, the annual tribute price is not met. To satisfy the debt, Teresine, a former refugee turned advisor to the city’s ruler, is forced to serve in the Faerie Queen’s court, a treacherous realm where mortals are pawns in an eternal struggle for power. Years later, Teresine’s great-niece Lilit is eager to attend the trading fair that has sprung up around the tribute. She discovers that nothing at the fair—or with the fey—is what it seems, and what began as an adventure leads to unexpected consequences. Now, she must delve into the secret of her great-aunt’s past to save her own future.
