"The Midnight Breed is sexy, lethal, and 100% alpha!"
The Midnight Breed, Book 1 Lucan Thorne deals in death. Born of The Ancients, he is a
first generation vampire warrior sworn to protect his kind
and the lives of the innocent humans who live within his
domain. Rogue vampires drunk with bloodlust are organizing
to wage a war that threatens to destroy their quiet
existence. As the Rogues stalk human prey becoming more
violent and bloodthirsty, Lucan and his fellow Breed
warriors battle to keep the world from slipping into
chaos. Committed to the Breed and filled with an appetite
for destruction, Lucan never considered taking a Breedmate...
that was until he met Gabrielle. Gabrielle Maxwell views the world through the lens of a
camera. As a photographer, she has always been drawn to
desolate places. Some of her work could be described as
menacing, but nothing could compare to the gruesome images
of the fanged monsters she captured on her cell phone while
out one night celebrating with her friends. The gory scene
sent her fleeing into the night with evidence that would
land her right in the middle of a blood war. Dismissed by
the police and scared out of her mind, Gabrielle tried to
get past her ordeal. She had no idea that someone had
followed her home. And how could she have known that her
life would forever be changed the night the very
handsome "Detective" Lucan Thorne decided to pay her a
visit? Lucan arrived at Gabrielle's door with the intention of
getting those valuable pictures, but he discovered much
more. Gabrielle bore the mark of a Breedmate; A human
female possessing the genetic ability to carry a vampire
child. Resistant to the mental persuasion of the vampire
breed, Gabrielle has an innate ability to locate structures
occupied by vampires as evidenced in her photographs. All
these things add up to danger for Gabrielle and the more
time Lucan spends with her, the more he hungers to protect
and claim her as his mate. But a warrior is not husband
material and Lucan is barely holding back his own demons.
Can Gabrielle break through the walls that Lucan has
erected around his heart or will Lucan turn out to be more
dangerous to Gabrielle than any of the Rogues lurking in
the night? Lara Adrian's KISS OF MIDNIGHT is brimming with all the
things we love about vampire romance. Lucan's dark
brooding dominance is tempered by Gabrielle's gentle but
stubborn disposition. Together they experience passionate
highs and heartbreaking lows, but always seem to find a way
back to each other. Readers will note many similarities to
other popular vampire romance series, but The Midnight
Breed will become a favorite for those who love their
vampires to be sexy, lethal, and 100% alpha.
