He's even willing to swoop in and save her - at a price. Luckily for Leila, Vlad Tepes is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe the kidnap story. Yet another thing to add to the freak file. But what Leila didn't anticipate was that when she's in this handsome vampire's mind, he can sense her, even talk to her. But what Leila never anticipated was being kidnapped by a band of fanged fellows who insist she track down a certain someone using her abilities.īy touching a series of objects, Leila is able to track their owner where he has been and where he's going … The man being hunted by her kidnappers is in fact one frightening and fiery vampire, who's as handsome as he is ferocious.

And she knows that her ability to see the future by touching objects makes her one tasty morsel for unscrupulous monsters, so says her four-foot tall circus friend, Marty, a vampire. Leila knows that in the world of supernaturals she is unique. And Leila is like a living live-wire, constantly charging and emitting bolts of electricity. Whenever she touches an object with her right hand, she gets flashes of that objects' imprint in the past and future.

A nasty scar running from temple to right hand is the only physical evidence of Leila's near-death experience … but it's what people can't outwardly see that makes Leila so very unique. An accident with a downed power line when she was a girl killed Leila's mother, but left her alive. Leila is a freak of nature she knows that, and she embraces it so much that she has gone on tour with the circus. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him-a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all-but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula.
