Soul Kisses

"Soul Kisses" is a novella in Red Sage's Secrets 14 anthology. The story's heroine is Beth Chase, sister to Valerie from Forever Kiss.

In this story, I got the idea of seeing if I could do a true menage romance with a strong heroine and two alpha males. But Morgan and Garett aren't your typical alphas -- they're vampires, and they've been close as brothers for four centuries. When they rescue Beth from a vicious vamp kidnapper, the three feel an instant mutual attraction.

But if a killer has his way, they won't live long enough to fall in love.
