Vampire Romance
The Templar Knights. Five soldiers of God who had been captured and burned at the order of King Philip. But that was not the end for them. They had been damned to be vampires, for they had lost their faith in God. Now they must earn redemption for entrance to Heaven.
The townspeople may call her Crazy Allie because she's a ghost hunter, but Allison Parker didn't let that stop her. She knew there was a supernatural world, she even knew five Templar Knights who had turned vampire. What she couldn't believe was that one of them had given her the keys to Randall Manor for a little ghost hunting. After all, only when the vampires are away, the ghosts will play.
Sebastian of Rydon didn't know why Allie was invading his bedroom, but he didn't mind the view she presented. He had been trying to avoid her, but once he kisses her, he realizes that is an impossibility.
Young women are disappearing, and it is the Templar Knights who need to find the renegade vampires who are killing them. The renegades are also trying to find the Daystar, and the Knights still need to protect the relic. War is threatening, but Sebastian has found the one woman who can warm his dead heart. He realizes that he is not the man for her, but she is the woman for him.
Midnight Sun adds a unique twist to the myths surrounding the Templar Knights. What if the Archangel Michael forbade entrance to Heaven to five knights who had lost their faith, but still fought in the name of God? Now, they know for a fact that God exists, but even prayer brings them pain. The romance between Sebastian and Allie was a pleasure to watch unfold. The interaction between her and the other Knights was entertaining. She definitely can hold her own with these medieval, strong, powerful, utterly male warriors. I anxiously await the remainder of the series.
