title: Biting Winds: A once hopeful bride and her abusive groom cross paths with a vampire who trades solitude to protect the bride, and to deal a masterful revenge on her pathetic groom.
author: Shawna Ireland
description: Shawna Ireland writes fiction/fantasy and has five additional novels that are a work in progress. This includes two additional vampire novels inspired by Biting Winds, and three dragon novels. What's next? Storms of Innocence. When asked why people would read her novels, Shawna answered: "That's simple. I create great characters and stories that you need to know more about when the book ends. My readers keep coming back to me asking me to write about other characters, like Lillian from Biting Winds, and Anthony from Storms of Innocence." When asked who inspired her to write, Shawna answered, "Several writers, but I can tell you the most influential, and in what order. I had a very hard childhood, and reading helped me survive it. It started with Beverly Cleary. I read every single Ramona book she put out. V.C. Andrews took me through my early teens with her 'Flowers in the Attic' series. My next jump was to Danielle Steel. She gave me hope of finding a prince charming to save me from my black cloud. Last, but not least, Steven King. I could write spin-offs of all his books solely based on the nightmares I had after reading them."

  Warlocks, Kavan and Derik,have been lovers for years, but they’ve always known
  their third has been out there somewhere, undiscovered and just waiting to be
  found. When Derik becomes convinced that it’s a female vampire named Cherish,
  Kavan scoffs at him. Cherish is shy, brainy and not the least bit sexy. Then
  on Christmas Eve, Derik asks for one wish, for Kavan to let them seduce the
  innocent vampire for just one night. As soon as Kavan gets a taste of
  Cherish’s passion, he knows he’s addicted.
  
  
  But will she be willing to accept a lifetime bond with both men?
