title: My Demon's Kiss (Bound in Darkness) (No. 1)
author:  Lucy Blue 
description: Ten years after Simon, an Irish knight on crusade, was unwillingly turned into a vampire, he and his dwarf sidekick, Orlando, travel to Charmont, a remote British castle. There they hope to find a magic cup that can reverse Simon's vampirism and free Orlando's vampire love from her prison. Isabel, the Lady of Charmont, has, with the aid of her faithful retainers, fended off with a clever ruse the attentions of those the king sends to marry her and win the castle. Nonetheless, when Simon and Orlando appear at the gates of Charmont dressed as humble pilgrims they are allowed in, but all are in danger. Blue's pacing is fast and furious, but the personalities of her characters shine through, and Simon and Isabel's conflicts are believable and just unresolved enough to leave readers eager for the next in the series. Blue's noble vampire who fights to retain his humanity and heroine who fights for what is hers make for an unusual and compelling paranormal romance. <i>Diana Tixier Herald</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.

  What would it be like to break this little demon with kisses and bend her will
  to his?
  
  “I thank you, Brother,” Tristan said, nodding, as gracious as a king in spite
  of the guards who held him fast. “Now may I kiss my wife?”
  
  “You would kiss me?” Siobhan laughed. He hated her; he had shown her nothing
  but contempt. But suddenly she saw something else in those cold, green eyes,
  something wicked she had never seen before in the gaze of any other man.
  
  “Oh yes,” he answered, his mysterious smile making her blush. “I would.”
