While her sire sat beside her in  the sumptuous red velvet seats of the dark stalls, her focus fixed on  the erotic acts playing out on the stage of Vampirerotique, Sera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gaze  was elsewhere, drawn to a man who had been on her mind since the first  time she had set eyes on him over a year ago. He stood to her right at  the edge of the theatre near the front row, shadows clinging to him as  though they too were drawn to his lethal beauty, his own gaze on the  stage. Not once did it stray from the performance\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnot even when she  prayed under her breath every second that it would come to rest on  her\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand never did the intensity of it lessen. His pale icy eyes  scrutinised everything, watching closely, as though he was studying it  so he could give a blow-by-blow description of it to someone after it  had ended. Perhaps he did. He often disappeared as soon as the show  reached its climax with the bloodletting, heading through the double  doors that led backstage to an area she could only imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Her sire, Elizabeth, had described it for her a few times but she had  always been more interested in learning more about the enigma that was  the vampire who ran the theatre.<\/p>\n<p>Antoine.<\/p>\n<p>His name was as exotic as his looks. The deadly combination of lush  chocolate brown hair, those intense pale blue eyes and his lithe figure  that just screamed he would look like a god naked, was too much for her.  The more she saw him, the more she wanted him.<\/p>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><br \/>Regardless of the warnings that her sire often whispered in her ear.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Perhaps I should arrange for a seat closer to him next time?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Elizabeth hissed across at her, amusement ringing in her tone.<\/p>\n<p>Sera tore her eyes away from Antoine, ashamed that she wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t watching  the show that had cost her sire a pretty penny. Elizabeth had been  getting her better seats with each performance and Sera knew that the  closer they were to the stage and the action, the more expensive the  tickets became. Not only that, but she had paid for Sera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new outfit of  a lacy deep green camisole top that matched her eyes and tight black  jeans that showed off her legs to perfection, and the new highlights in  her long blonde hair as well as the makeover they had both enjoyed this  evening before attending the theatre.<\/p>\n<p>She tried to watch the show, concentrated hard on maintaining her focus  on the act playing out on the black stage but she couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take in any  of it. Her head swam, unable to keep track of what was happening, focus  diverted by the drop-dead-gorgeous man who stood barely twenty feet away  from her. She gritted her teeth and frowned, forcing her eyes to follow  the performers. It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help.<\/p>\n<p>Seats closer to the stage just meant closer to Antoine, presenting her  with a much better view of him. A view she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to squander.<\/p>\n<p>Her gaze drifted back to him as though he had his own gravity and she  was powerless against its pull. He stood side on to her, his tailored  black trousers and crisp charcoal shirt accentuating his figure,  igniting her imagination. It raced to picture him naked. Long legs and  powerful thighs. Firm buttocks with sexy dimples above them. A lean  muscled back that followed the sensual curve of his spine and flowed  into strong shoulders that would be a pleasure to study as he moved. And  finally, a chiselled torso blessed with rope after rope of honed  muscles down his stomach and a chest that would feel solid beneath her  cheek and palm as he held her protectively in his embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth giggled, the sound so out of place during the intense erotic  performance that the dark-haired man in front of them looked over his  shoulder and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to get involved with him. It wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t end well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Elizabeth said.<\/p>\n<p>Sera wished that her sire had waited for the man to turn away before  saying that. Now he was frowning at them both, dark eyebrows drawn tight  above red eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth dismissively waved her hand, long scarlet nails catching the  bright colourful lights that illuminated the stage. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not talking  about you. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll miss one of the best bits.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s frown hardened but he turned back to the show. Elizabeth  swept her wavy dark red hair over her shoulder and returned her  attention to the performance too. Sera fidgeted on her seat when she  caught a glimpse of the man on stage. Victor. Elizabeth had worked with  him during her time at the London theatre. He had been with  Vampirerotique since a few years after it had opened a century ago and  was their star performer. The large brunet male was currently pumping a  woman in centre stage, his fangs enormous as he growled and fucked her  side on to the audience so they could witness the whole act. The petite  brunette bent over in front of him was moaning with each deep plunge of  his cock, her hands grasping her knees and breasts swinging in time with  his powerful thrusts. Two other men were pleasuring human females a  short distance from him. The men sat on the red velvet gold-framed  couches, one on each, flanking Victor where he stood close to the front  of the black stage. The human females under the thrall of the other two  vampires were facing the audience, kneeling astride the one who  controlled them, bouncing on his cock and groaning as they palmed their  breasts. Sera looked away, cheeks burning.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth leaned towards her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Besides, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as frigid as a nun and as  cold as ice. In the fifty years that I worked for him, I never once saw  him with a woman. The only person he loves is his messed up brother, and  that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one relationship you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to interfere with.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Sera had heard the warnings so many times now that they were losing  their effect. Every time Elizabeth brought her to the theatre to watch a  performance, she reiterated the long list of reasons why Sera shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t  want Antoine. Unfortunately, those warnings only made her want him even  more. According to Elizabeth, the gorgeous male vampire had been alone  for God only knew how long. Sera wanted to be the woman to smash his  armour and tear down his defences, and end his loneliness.<\/p>\n<p>If he was lonely.<\/p>\n<p>Her gaze slid back to Antoine. He stood rod straight, posture perfect,  shoulders tipped back as he continued to study the performance. The  first few times she had seen him, she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thought to ask her sire  about him. She had thought he was just one of the crowd stretching his  legs. When Elizabeth had noticed her staring, she had told her that he  was one of the owners of the theatre, and an aristocrat vampire. That  had explained the tilt of his chin and the air of pride he wore, and  perhaps even the coldness that settled on his face at times when he was  greeting the more important guests before the show started.<\/p>\n<p>He was so distant, even looked miles away as he studied the show, lost in thoughts that she wanted to know.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth nudged her and she looked back at the stage, trying to keep  her eyes off Antoine. If she couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recount at least half of what had  happened, Elizabeth would give her an earful on their way back to the  city centre apartment they shared.<\/p>\n<p>Things were heating up on stage. Victor had finished with his vampire  female and was now toying with one of the humans, a young redhead with  full breasts. The blond male vampire that had been with the female on  the couch was with them, kissing her as Victor stood behind her, palming  her breasts and rubbing himself against her backside. The blond male  looked into her eyes and she turned obediently in his arms, coming to  face Victor. She stared at him. Or beyond him. Her glassy expression  said that the male now behind her wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lessening any of his control  just yet. It felt so wrong to watch a woman under the power of a  vampire, unable to do anything to disobey her temporary master, but she  couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deny that it turned her on a little. The woman wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know  any discomfort or panic. She was so deep under that she was probably  experiencing the purest hit of pleasure she had ever had. Exactly what  she had signed on for.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth had let Sera in on a secret. Apparently, all of the humans  who participated in the shows had agreed to the erotic acts in exchange  for a rather handsome amount of money. Elizabeth said it hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t always  been that way, but modern times called for a modern approach, and it was  far easier not to kill them. The humans knew they would be  participating in an on-stage orgy for an audience, and most of them had  done such acts before, they just didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what they shared that stage  with. Vampires. That meant they also didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know they would be doing  things under hypnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Not that many of the humans required hypnosis to make them fully  participate. The blond male vampire had lessened his control over the  redheaded female human bent over in front of him, letting her desire  rule her instead, and she was moaning and writhing against him, rubbing  herself against his long hard cock.<\/p>\n<p>Sera stared, cheeks heating, as he slowly inched his erection into her  body and Victor stepped up in front of the woman. She reached for his  rigid cock and closed her eyes as she wrapped her lips around his full  length, swallowing him each time he thrust into her mouth. The man  behind her pumped her at the same pace, drawn out and deep, slow enough  that the audience was twitching for more.<\/p>\n<p>Sera stared at the blond male, imagining Antoine behind her like that,  his face a picture of pleasure as he slid in and out with long deep  strokes.<\/p>\n<p>Her gaze shot back to the man of her fantasy and she found he was still  staring at the stage with the usual detached look on his face, as  though the sight of two men on one woman didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t arouse him in the  slightest. She supposed that he had probably seen enough shows that he  was immune to their effect now.<\/p>\n<p>A few impatient growls erupted through the theatre and he flicked a  glance over the audience and then went back to watching the show.<\/p>\n<p>Sera had tried to talk to him once, when he had passed her by after the  show had ended with the feeding and the crowd were leaving. He had  blanked her. He hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even glanced her way. He had walked straight past  her as though she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist. She had spoken loudly enough that he  must have heard her. It was after that moment that Elizabeth had started  with the warnings, revealing only a tantalising amount of information  about the powerful handsome aristocrat, just enough to make Sera want  him even more.<\/p>\n<p>Now, she craved his eyes on her, wanted to hear him speak and know his  voice at last, and above all, she wanted to look up into his eyes and  try to see past the barriers around his heart so she could understand  him. Was his distance from everyone just because he was an aristocrat,  or was there more to it than that?<\/p>\n<p>A shriek from the stage melted into a moan of pleasure and the smell of  human blood spilled through the air, encompassing her. Antoine visibly  tensed, his arms flexing beneath his charcoal tailored shirt, as though  he had clenched his fists. His pale eyes darkened, changed just as hers  did to reveal her true nature. He turned away and she feared he would  leave earlier than usual and her chance would slip by once again.<\/p>\n<p>She tugged on Elizabeth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arm and her sire sighed, rose to her feet,  briefly applauded and then started along the row with her trailing  behind. Her legs bumped several vampires who were still trying to watch  the final act, absorbing the scent and the thrill of bloodshed. She  didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for it herself. More important matters needed her attention.<\/p>\n<p>The men and women she passed snarled at her, baring their fangs in her  direction and leaning to one side in an attempt to see past her. She  muttered her apologies, trying to move quickly so they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t attack  her. Elizabeth made that impossible. She moved slowly and with grace in  her long scarlet dress, her head held high and no apologies leaving her  lips. Her sire was old enough to stand against these vampires should  they choose to attack but Sera wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. It would be years before she had  the strength of her sire. They reached the last person and broke out  onto the wide strip of red carpet that lined the edge of the theatre.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Antoine,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Elizabeth called and he paused and swung back to face her.<\/p>\n<p>Sera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heart almost stopped when his deep crimson gaze briefly flickered to her before returning to her sire.<\/p>\n<p>Her nerves rose as he strolled up the incline to meet Elizabeth and  Sera slowed, the gap between her and Elizabeth growing larger by the  second. What was she doing? It had taken months for her to convince her  sire to do this for her and now that she had finally agreed, her nerve  was going to fail? She wanted this man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes on her, wanted to be alone  with him, and the only way to get what she wanted was to get a job at  the theatre.<\/p>\n<p>If she made it past the interview, then Antoine would have to meet with  her. Elizabeth had said that he spoke with each new performer to ensure  they were suitable for the theatre. Sera just had to get the interview  out of the way and then she would have the chance she wanted. Once they  were alone in his office, she would take a shot at convincing Antoine  that she was the woman for him. Whatever the outcome of that meeting  was, she would quit her role as a performer. She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t intend to  perform at the theatre. Hell, no. She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have the right sort of  personality for that. She wanted to blush whenever she chanced a glance  at the black and red stage set and saw what the couples on it were  doing. If it weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t for Antoine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence in the theatre and her  sire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s insistence that they have a little fun, she would never come to  such a place.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Callum,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a deep male voice called out, sharp with authority, and Sera  stopped dead. Sweet mercy, Antoine had a voice that could tame even the  wildest of angels. That voice was a drug. It went straight into her  heart and raced through her veins, the effect sweeter than any amount of  blood.<\/p>\n<p>Sera turned towards her sire and Antoine, only to see that he was  walking away, leaving her sire with another dark-haired man. He was  handsome, full of smiles as he spoke to Elizabeth, far warmer and more  amiable than Antoine was but nowhere near as alluring. Elizabeth  signalled her to join them and she did, moving past the vampires now  spilling out of the stalls and watching Antoine leave at the same time.  She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d had a chance to meet him and she had blown it. If she had only  kept up with her sire, she would have been close to him, maybe would  have caught his attention this time and had his eyes on her at last.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is this her?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the vampire called Callum said and ran a glance over  her. Sera kept still, feeling as though she was for sale as he moved  around her, his eyes on her body, inspecting and scrutinising every  inch. He came back to stand before her and looked at Elizabeth. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The  summer season will end soon so we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have time to train her before the  winter one begins but we need someone with natural talent. Does she have  what it takes?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Sera opened her mouth to speak but Elizabeth beat her to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Absolutely. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my child, Cal. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all in the blood.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Elizabeth  smiled broadly at him, red lips curving perfectly. Her deep brown eyes  shone with warmth and she swept her dark red hair over her shoulders,  exposing their bare curves. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know I am one of your best ever  performers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Callum nodded and the longer lengths of his cropped black hair fell  down over one emerald green eye. He frowned and raked it back, and then  ran a hand around the nape of his neck, drawing Sera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes to a set of  dark marks on it. A bite mark. It looked deep and fresh too, no more  than a night or two old. Did he have a lover?<\/p>\n<p>He looked at her again and Sera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gaze leapt to his. She swallowed the  desire to confess that her sire was lying and she had no natural talent  for the sort of thing that he was talking about. She smiled instead,  trying to look every bit as seductive as her sire. Elizabeth had been  Vampirerotique\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s star female performer until she had decided to quit her  job and return to her family instead. They had met shortly after that,  and Elizabeth had turned her into a vampire. That was thirty years ago  now. It had taken Sera most of those years to become accustomed to life  as a vampire.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come by tomorrow night when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re closed,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Callum said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll excuse me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thank you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sera said and he smiled at her, nodded, and then disappeared into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Their excited chatter filled the theatre, the people passing her by  discussing the show and the finale. Other elite vampires were still in  their seats, enjoying the lingering scent of blood and sharing an  intimate moment of their own with their partners. Sometimes the kissing  that happened post-performance in the stalls was more erotic than what  occurred on stage. Sera dragged her gaze away from one couple near the  front who were going at it with wild abandon. They looked as though they  wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it out of the theatre before they succumbed to their  desire and took things a step further.<\/p>\n<p>She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Elizabeth. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Does Callum have a lover?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I thought you had set your sights on Antoine?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Elizabeth laughed when  she blushed and then her expression darkened. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A wife&#8230; and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard  rumours that she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a werewolf.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>A werewolf? Sera had expected the owners of an erotic theatre to be  quite liberal and wild, but marrying a werewolf? She definitely hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t  expected that one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re serious?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She never could tell with her sire. The woman enjoyed  a joke more than was natural. Sera supposed that you needed to have an  easygoing attitude when you chose to spend fifty years participating in  an on-stage orgy with people you hardly knew.<\/p>\n<p>Her stomach turned.<\/p>\n<p>Thank the Devil she wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to do such a thing to get her chance  to speak with Antoine. Just an interview that she would ace thanks to  her sire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tuition and then she would be in his office, alone with him.  Just the thought stirred heat in her veins. Since her sire had agreed to  help her, she had spent every night trying to figure out how to win  Antoine. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to be easy. She knew that much. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d had  lovers in her human life and even in her vampire one, but she had never  pursued a man before, not as she intended to with Antoine.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth had laughed when she had confessed that and had told her that  she should probably start with easier prey and work her way up to  someone like Antoine. That gave her the feeling that she was going to  fail. What sort of woman would he desire? He ran an erotic theatre and  watched the beautiful women performing on his stage without the barest  hint of desire in his expression. If they couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t arouse him, what hope  did she have?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t interested in women who worked at his theatre. If that  was the case, was she only shooting down what slim chance she had with  him by interviewing for a position as a performer?<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I need a drink, and you look as though you could use one too.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  Elizabeth grasped her wrist and tugged her towards the exit at the back  of the theatre. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come along, my pupil. You have a lot to learn before  tomorrow night if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to have a snowball\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chance in Hell of  impressing that man.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Sera trudged along behind her sire, weaving through the lingering  crowd. Elizabeth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s warnings rang in her ears, one louder than the rest.  She glanced up at the three storeys of elegant boxes that lined the  theatre. The gold on the carvings decorating the curved cream low walls  that edged the private boxes reflected the warm lights that illuminated  the heavy red velvet curtain now closed across the stage. Matching  curtains hung at the back of the boxes, some of them open now that the  performance had ended. Many of the boxes were empty but beautifully  dressed ladies and gentlemen still occupied the others.<\/p>\n<p>She spotted Antoine amongst a group in one of the boxes on the first  tier. He was smiling. She had never seen him smile. It looked forced to  her. Hollow. Even among his own kind, he was still distant, his eyes  devoid of emotion as he put on a grand performance of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Sera wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to overcome the challenge of winning Antoine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heart just by meeting the man.<\/p>\n<p>First, she had to break through a barrier that was beginning to look impenetrable.<\/p>\n<p>He was an aristocrat, and an old one at that. Although he looked barely  a day over thirty-five, he was in fact over a thousand years old. His  brother, Snow, was almost twice his age.<\/p>\n<p>Sera was an elite.<\/p>\n<p>To an aristocrat, she was some sort of filth they scraped off their  shoes and nothing made that clearer than the theatres. The aristocrats  sat in their boxes, looking down on the elite gathered in the stalls,  separated and distant from those they saw as commoners and mongrels.<\/p>\n<p>That disdain for her kind was the reason why Antoine looked so glacial  whenever he had to greet the more important members of the elite, and  why he had failed to hear her when she had tried to speak with him. He  wanted nothing to do with the elite vampires outside the small circle  that were part of the theatre. He would certainly want nothing to do  with her. Not only was she an elite, but she was a turned human. She was  the bottom rung of the social ladder and he was the top. The elite that  he deemed worthy of a moment of his time, that he greeted with gritted  teeth in order to maintain good relations with her kind, were all born  as vampires into families that had turned humans within their ranks.  None of them were turned humans themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Even Elizabeth was born of a vampire father and turned mother.<\/p>\n<p>If Sera wanted to shatter Antoine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s armour, she would have to convince him to see beyond the fact that she was a turned human.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth had taught her a few things, weapons that she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t held in  her arsenal before, but she wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure if she was brave enough to risk  using them on Antoine.<\/p>\n<p>Could she do what Elizabeth had said it would take to shatter his defences?<\/p>\n<p>Could she really seduce such a powerful man?<\/p>\n<p>Sera curled her fingers into tight fists and stared at him. He paused  in the middle of saying something to the aristocrat vampires in the box  with him, slowly turned towards her and then lowered his eyes. They  locked on her. He had felt her watching him. Her heart beat harder,  thumping against her chest as her blood heated, but she held his gaze  across the theatre stalls, refusing to back down.<\/p>\n<p>The next time she saw him, she would be alone with him.<\/p>\n<p>And she would seduce him.<\/p>\n<p><b>Available in e-book from:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/ebooks.php?title=Seduce\"><b>Author&#8217;s website<\/b><\/a> |         <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B008CRB7BY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=feliheatromaa-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B008CRB7BY\"><b>Amazon Kindle<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B008CRB7BY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=feliheatromaa-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;creativeASIN=B008CRB7BY\"><b>Amazon Kindle UK<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B008CRB7BY\/\"><b>Amazon Kindle Germany<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/dp\/B008CRB7BY\/\"><b>Amazon Kindle France<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobobooks.com\/search\/search.html?q=9781476262192\"><b>Kobo Books<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/170954\"><b>Smashwords<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allromanceebooks.com\/product-seducevampireerotictheatreromanceseries3-848548-139.html\"><b>All Romance eBooks<\/b><\/a>                <\/p>\n<p><b>Available in paperback from:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1477673296\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=feliheatromaa-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=1477673296\"><b>Amazon.com<\/b><\/a> |        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/1477673296\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=feliheatromaa-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=1477673296\"><b>Amazon.co.uk<\/b><\/a>       <\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"97\" src=\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/images\/signature.gif\" style=\"background: none; border: 0px; padding: 0;\" width=\"225\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the release day for the third erotic vampire romance book in my Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series &#8211; SEDUCE!
