A Taste for Control
by Patrice Michelle

Duncan Mordoor has lived his entire life in total control. His hybrid vampire status might allow him to walk in the sun, but with his unique mind-reading ability, humans easily bore him and vampires give him a wide berth. He lives by the motto: Never join in, never let your true emotions be known and above all—never lose control. Duncan never expected rescuing a "human" woman would turn his life upside down.

Rose Sinclair has always held her emotions inside, keeping complete control. With her steel will intact, nothing and no one will break through...except the seductive hybrid vampire who rescues her from a rogue vampire. With just one swipe of his tongue, Duncan awakens a part of her she didn't know existed.

Patrice Michelle's Bio

Born and raised in the southeast, I have been a fan of romance novels since I was thirteen years old. When I was in college, I wrote my first romance novel....well, um...I attempted to write my first romance novel. There I was, 80,000 words into the historical novel, and my hero and heroine still hadn't had sex yet. LOL! I think I was intimidated to write that first love scene. Over a decade later, I picked up that unfinished, dusty manuscript and read it, thinking maybe I could do this writing thing. Since then I have learned so much about the craft of writing. First and foremost, I learned that writing is just that--a craft. It's something I'll always learn from and improve upon.

The tone of my novels may range from intense to light hearted, but one thing always holds true with my writing--I will always write a sensual romance (kinda ironic considering my first attempt at a romance, don't you think?).
