Blood Ties by Cathryn Fox Dari Blake has always believed she has a rare, genetic blood disorder that prevents her from aging. Her sheltered life is lonely-except for the mysterious man who enters her nightmares, soothing them into erotic dreams. Mikel Sare has one mission: to protect Dari, who doesn't have a rare disease. Like himself, she is a rare creature. One of only two left in the world-part human, part vampire. Now the alien vampires who created their kind are back to take control of her womb. To defeat them, Mikel and Dari must join as one-mind, body, blood and soul. Future Found by Mima Tree singer Shay-non tends the chi of the few remaining trees left after the Cataclysm. Lured by the prospect of one moment with a magnificent hidden oak, she finds herself tricked into twenty-four hours as a sexual "guest," an infuriating prospect. Sandor has waited years for Shay's unmet sexual needs to weaken her defenses. Now that he has her captive, he can only pray. That she'll agree to help him defy the Council and raise an illegal forest temple. And that she'll see past his sensual blackmail into his heart. Warning: This book includes menage, a little bit of red-hot manlove, graphic language, and sex involving a tree that will forever make you smile when you hear the term "tree hugger." Reading this book without your partner may be hazardous to your health.
