Bloody battles and death have a way of clarifying what is important in life and putting things in perspective, even for a human in love with a millennium old vampire.  Zoologist Andreas Nikandros once held Titus Antonius Calidus, an ancient centurion vampire responsible for his beloved sister’s death.  Now, Andreas knows that Adrienne is at peace, that he loves Titus with all his heart, and that he’s ready to join Titus as a newly Turned vampire.

Their best friends, vampire lovers Daniel Valente and Ryunosuke Kimura, as well as Tribunal member Egill Dalgaard fly intoChicagoto witness Andreas’s Turning.  The ceremony runs smoothly, but soon after a phone call sends Andreas running – into a dangerous situation he can’t handle on his own.  Circumstances snowball into further intrigue that will put everyone the newly turned vampire loves at risk.  The lovers forever may end before it begins.

Erotic interludes, complex relationships, and unexpected twists give Loving Instincts enough to satisfy every fan and new readers alike.  The character driven plotline explores the lover’s intricate connection and the friendships they share with others.  A secondary storyline threatens everything Andreas and Titus hold dear which adds another layer to this thoroughly entertaining tale.  Loving Instincts wraps up a steamy, turbulent, loving affair, yet leaves a door slightly ajar for more.  Please, more.
