The Vampire Jerome

She could save him or destroy him. The Whitcombe Legacy: Three brothers, all vampires. For more than a century they've waited to fulfill a prophecy that could restore their humanity. Jerome Whitcombe has embraced his life as a vampire and has no desire to become human again. But his destiny is about to catch up with him . . . in the form of a beautiful woman. During Hurricane Katrina, Dottie Crawford was kidnapped by the evil vampire, Zurik, and contracted a rare form of sleeping sickness. In the hurricane's aftermath, treatment is impossible. So Julian sends her to his brother and tasks Jerome with Dottie's medical care and safety. But from the moment he sees her, Jerome knows that recovery from her illness is the least of Dottie's concerns. He's drawn to her in the most basic vampiric way-he craves her blood, her energy, her soul. Before long Jerome is caught in a struggle between the darkness he has come to embrace and his return to humankind. And in the balance hangs the life of the woman he loves . . . Ann B. Morris is the author of five romance novels and several short stories. She has also authored two erotic romance novellas and a full length novel under her Caryn Carter pseudonym. Ann's lifelong love of the written word is followed closely by her love of painting and her interest in other cultures which led her to obtain a degree in Anthropology. Ann resides with her husband in Lacombe, Louisiana, a small, rural community north of New Orleans.
