Giving
the Holiday Season Bite
Tis the Season…To Be Undead.
Vampires and Christmas. They go together—just like chocolate and
marshmallows (and a really good graham cracker!). One is dark and dangerous (that would be the
chocolate AND the vampires), and the other is good and soft (Christmas!
Happiness! And marshmallows!). Ahem,
okay, maybe that comparison is a little off, but you can see where I was going…
When I wrote A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS
CAROL, I wanted to create one very dark and troubled hero. After all, the
original Scrooge wasn’t exactly a barrel of sunshine. My vamp, Ben Prescott, is on the edge of a
very dangerous precipice. If he can’t change this holiday season, more than
just his undead life is on the line.
The paranormal visitors that Ben
receives on Christmas Eve are fighting to save him, but Ben also has to fight
to save himself. And isn’t that the case
for all of us? In the end, we have to
fight for the things that we want most in life.
Ben is a fighter…and he doesn’t
intend to lose the most important battle of his life.
So, yes…vampires and Christmas do
go together. Darkness and light. Determination and hope…ah, it’s what makes the
holidays bright!
Happy holidays! (And thank you to
Fang-tastic Books for having me over!)
Best,
Cynthia Eden

Book Description:
This holiday season has bite.
Ben Prescott hates Christmas—he’s a vampire, and to him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.
But fate has other plans for Ben.
Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can’t be saved by anyone or anything.
‘Tis the season…to be undead.
Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost—Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben’s arms…
Warning:
This book features one very tortured vampire, a sexy ghost from his past, and hot scenes designed to melt the winter snow. Plenty of action, adult situations, and steamy times are ahead. Happy holidays!

Excerpt
Lust clawed through him. The need, the red-hot desire, seemed to
burn Ben from the inside. He grabbed
Simone, yanked her flush against him. His mouth locked on hers. He’d always
tried to be so careful with her in the past. Played the gentleman because she mattered.
He wasn't
a gentleman any longer. Ben wasn't even sure what he was. He just knew he
needed Simone naked, and he had to be in her.
He carried her back to his
bedroom. He ignored the glittering New York skyline. She was the only thing he
could see. Desire pounded through him. His cock was so swollen that he hurt
and—
His teeth were extending.
Stretching in his mouth.
Ben dropped Simone on the bed
and stepped back, horrified.
“Ben?” Simone sat up on the bed and pushed back the
blonde hair that had tumbled forward. “What’s wrong?”
She was so gorgeous and sexy staring up at him. Looking at him with those wide, dark eyes.
She was so gorgeous and sexy staring up at him. Looking at him with those wide, dark eyes.
I’m going to hurt her. He grabbed for the control that he’d always
held so easily in the past. Only that control was broken. Shattered. “You need
to leave.”
