1001 Dark Nights is a collection of breathtakingly sexy and magically
romantic novellas inspired by the exotic tales of The Arabian Nights.
In the original, Scheherazade desperately attempts to entertain her
husband, the King of Persia, with nightly stories so that he will
postpone her execution. In our versions, each of our fabulous authors
puts a unique spin on the premise and creates a tale that a new
Scheherazade tells long into the dark, dark night.
Once, they lived in secret alongside mankind. Now, emerged from the
shadows, the Breed faces enemies on both sides--human and vampire alike.
No one knows that better than Lazaro Archer, one of the eldest, most
powerful of his kind. His beloved Breedmate and family massacred by a
madman twenty years ago, Lazaro refuses to open his heart again.
Sworn to his duty as the leader of the Order's command center in Italy,
the last thing the hardened warrior wants is to be tasked with the
rescue and safekeeping of an innocent woman in need of his protection.
But when a covert mission takes a deadly wrong turn, Lazaro finds
himself in the unlikely role of hero with a familiar, intriguing beauty
he should not desire, but cannot resist.
Melena Walsh has never forgotten the dashing Breed male who saved her
life as a child. But the chivalrous hero of her past is in hard contrast
to the embittered, dangerous man on whom her safety now depends. And
with an unwanted--yet undeniable--desire igniting between them, Melena
fears that Lazaro's protection may come at the price of her heart....
