Lucas and Thomas believed themselves unusually blessed to have found
their third mate within only three hundred years of being a vampire.
Unfortunately, once they turned Piers, that empty, lonely feeling is still
there, within all of them.
Ten years of strained relations lead them to a ball where an old
friend helps them track down a woman they have all dreamt of.
Maryanne has been thrown out of London in punishment for allowing her
fiancée into her bed. She is travelling to meet her new horrid husband-to-be, when she is accosted by three male
vampires, all claiming to want to love her.
What is a shamed lady meant to do? Her duty? To marry the horrible old
lord, or risk loving three men who are the answer to her prayers?
“Get out.”
Thomas
stepped forward, his hands outstretched to her.
“No,
please. We need to explain more.”
Anger was
rolling off Maryanne now in waves. Lucas felt sick.
“No, I
don’t want to hear anymore about lifelong mates. There are three of you for
God’s sake!”
Piers now
flew to her side. Their third, their smallest and least intimidating mate,
grabbed for her hand.
“We need
you, Lady Maryanne. You don’t understand how much we need you.”
She gasped
and pulled her hand out of his grasp. Piers moaned liked a wounded animal, so
Lucas grabbed him and pulled Piers into his embrace.
Maryanne
was panting slightly, her chest heaving as she struggled to contain the
emotions they had obviously evoked in her. She moved back towards her bed.
“I understand that the only thing I am now
good for is to be married off to some stranger. My horrible parents certainly
do not want me. I have been humiliated enough by society, gentlemen. I don’t
need anyone to remind me of my current tainted state!”
Lucas
froze, his arms still wrapped around Piers. What was she saying?
When they
didn’t move as Maryanne had demanded, she screamed.
“Get out!”
Lucas
nodded at Thomas, and together they pulled Piers out into the hallway, locked
her door and retreated to their room.
Heart
thumping, grief assailing him, Lucas slid down onto the floor next to the
slumped Piers.
“She ... I
...”
Piers shook
again, and Lucas pulled his young mate into his arms. How could it have gone so
badly?
“We will
convince her. We will. We have time, Piers. I love you.”
Piers
buried his head into Lucas’s neck and reached out a hand to Thomas. Thomas came
readily, and together they spent the rest of the night on the floor, locked in
each other’s arms.

Just before
sunrise Lucas woke Maryanne yet again, and she rolled her eyes at him.
“We must
hide for the daylight hours, but we will visit you tonight.”
Maryanne
closed her eyes but not before Lucas saw the tears shimmering there. What had
happened to her to make her react this way? They would find out, and they would
fix it!
He knelt
down next to the bed and put his lips close to her ear. His fangs elongated
with hunger as he inhaled her scent, but he focused his mind on wooing her.
“You feel
it, too, don’t you? The connection and the need when we are close by. I am the
oldest, so I will be strong for you. Thomas is our peacemaker, and he will make
sure you are always happy. Piers is our youngest and most passionate. You will
never want for love when he is around.”
Maryanne
brought her blankets over her head and whispered through them to him.
“Please,
just leave me alone.”
Lucas
smiled sadly, and they left her, despite his desire to stay and comfort her. He
knew she felt as they did; she just had to realize it herself.
Tamsin Baker is an Aussie girl who only found erotic romance about ten
months ago. Before that she read sexy romance, skipping the plot looking for
the ‘good bits.’ Since then she have written and obtained 14 contracts of
varying lengths with erotic romance and erotica. She absolutely LOVES reading
and writing it! She have two other jobs, kids and a hubby too, but writing is a
passion that she has to indulge, for fear of insanity.
M/M is a passion of hers so even in her menage stories, there is always
M/M. Female domme is a fun one to write too, but she is open to all genres. One
step at a time she is learning to read more and write more. Soon she’ll have
stories published in every sub genre of erotic romance – or that is her aim
anyway.
