For vampire Aidan Murphy, life has never been so desperate. The vaccine used to treat a global pandemic has rendered human blood deadly to his kind, leaving them on the brink of starvation and civil war.
In tiny Penton, Alabama, Aidan establishes a peaceful community of vampires and unvaccinated human donors. He dares to hope they can survive—until his estranged brother descends upon Penton and begins killing the humans. Determined to save his town, Aidan kidnaps an unsuspecting human doctor—and finds himself falling in love for the first time in nearly four centuries.
Dr. Krystal Harris thought she was coming to Penton for a job interview, but Aidan Murphy has other plans. Infuriated by his high-handed scheme to imprison her in the small town, Krys can't ignore the attraction between them. But is it love? Or does her dangerous, charismatic captor want only to bend her to his will?
Redemption (Penton Legacy #1) by Susannah Sandlin
I like my vampires a litle more……Grrrrrrr!!
This one was in my long TBR list and I happened to have it in audible, so I sneaked it in. I think I'm just a little late for this series or my taste has changed drastically. With it's tasteful sex scenes and over thinking, gallant, broody vampire, this book was just too tame for me.
