Dance of the Vampires
    Cornelia Amiri
     
    One of Ian’s six brothers kicks over the stones of an
ancient cairn, unknowingly freeing Sorcha and her six sisters from underhill.
The seven handsome Scots are enchanted by the voluptuous temptresses until they
turn on the men. Ian captures Sorcha, giving his brothers a chance to escape. With
the dark fey woman still in his grasp, Ian is saved by the rising sun.
    Her sisters vanish with the light of dawn and Sorcha is trapped
in the mortal realm. The seductress can’t resist Ian’s attentions as he stirs
throbbing urges she’s never felt before. Ian is bewitched by the wild delights
offered by this vampire siren. He can’t get enough of her. Still, her wicked
sisters and his highland brothers want nothing more than to attack and kill
each other. Will Sorcha and Ian’s sizzling passion prove strong enough to
overcome the differences between the dark fey and humans?
