The Pleasure Seekers: Dake
by Michele R. Bardsley

Cursed a millennia ago by an ancient Blood Taker, Dake of Laedre lost more than his wife and daughter that terrible day, he lost his soul. Now, he seeks only to slake his lust and bloodthirst, his hope for a different life forever buried in a forgotten past. When grief-stricken and lonely Charron wishes for her death, Dake arrives to grant her request...and finds an unexpected gift: His redemption.

Michele R. Bardsley's Bio

Award-winning author Michele R. Bardsley spends her days begging her toddler son to PLEASE sit on the potty, avoiding her preteen daughter's Room of the Unknown, and answering her husband's silly questions (like "Honey, why is my sock glued to floor?").
Her hobbies include ingesting huge quantities of chocolate and drawing smiley faces in the dust on her furniture. She's been accused of plant homicide (you mean you have to water those green thingies?) and has been named Queen of Housework Procrastination. In between the duties of her fantastically interesting life (yawn), she writes novels and short stories and grand excuses about how her husband's socks get stuck to the carpet.
