Note From Author: While this story is available in print on Amazon from my donating it to the Vampire Ball, it was also the Vampire story in my Trick or Treat Give Away. I am now making it available to everyone free in eBook format in hopes of getting feedback about it, as it is my first venture into mixing the genres of Erotic, Paranormal Romance with a Regency Historical setting. It is a very Gothic tale in keeping with the Byronic Vampire of the times. BLURB: Conflicted by his ideas of fate and morality, David Ardington IV, who had been a rake in life, sees his eternal life as a vampire as a penance for shirking his noblesse oblige to his family. When he meets Margaret, a sturdy maiden who after losing her parents in a tragic accident stifled her own needs to care for her sick brother, their attraction is immediate and undeniable. And yet, David fights his feelings for Margaret seeing her as the worst reminder of what he is and what he can never be again. In the midst of the cruel realities of his vampire existence, David fears for her safety unsure if he can keep separate his physical longings from his bloodlust. Furthermore, when Margaret asks him to turn her brother to give him a second chance at life, he does not feel he can condemn anyone to the horrors of his dark existence either. For David, could redemption lie in doing the unthinkable Margaret asks of him, or will it forever be elusive?
