Bonham’s life feels out of control after she meets Jack. With his fondness for pink Chuck Taylors and New Wave hits aside, Jack’s unlike anyone she’s ever met. Then she meets his brother, Peter. His eyes pierce through her, and she can barely breathe when he’s around. But falling for two very different guys isn’t even the worst of her problems. Jack and Peter are vampires, and Alice finds herself caught between love and her own blood. Unabridged • 8 Discs $ AUDIOBOOK 10695526........... 14.99 ISBN# 9781455857418

“...pretty amazing...” – Boston Globe
For Maya, a widow trying to escape her past, teaching school in a secluded village offers a promise of peace. As Maya finds out, however, no refuge is remote enough to keep out the modern world, or her own past. The community she loves comes under attack when powerful outsiders hijack the local elections, dividing the villagers. And when Maya’s landlord’s nephew sets up shop nearby, Maya is drawn to him despite her better instincts–and is soon questioning everything she has ever known.
