There are three rules in this world. 1.) Vampires rule. 2.) Humans suffer. 3.) Never challenge the elite. I should have followed Rule #3 and slept in a cardboard box during my college years, especially since most of the government are vampires. But nope. I'm cursed with a big mouth. When an opportunity to change my fate arises, I travel to Washington D.C to make my case. Yep, also known as Bloodsucker Central. And then he shows up. The godlike, cruel, young vampire with the perfect body and hair. He threatens me, warning me to leave the city. I refuse to go back to hell. The only way I, and many others, can have homes and a future is if I stay in this city and do something about it. If only the ruling vampires hadn't lured me, and a hundred other young activists here to do something about us. This new world of luxury and power flows with blood. Turns out, we're on trial. I have to impress the vampires or die. And I already have enemies who want me dead. And as if my luck couldn't get worse, he’s back, stalking me. Jeremy Haywood. The son of the President. And what he wants, he gets. "You should have left. If you want to live, be my favorite victim. My donor. And maybe more. You're mine."

I should hate them, yet there's no denying my body reacts to their every touch. When my ancestors lost everything in a business deal gone wrong, they were forced to make a sacrifice-a blood oath, promising the firstborn daughter of their bloodline to a league of vampires. And now they've come to collect. Atlas. Kade. Gabriel. Lex. All seductively sexy and unimaginably dangerous. Torn from everything I've ever known, they take me captive in their Washington, D.C. mansion. Each is determined to own me-body, heart, and soul. I'd be lying if I said the thought of that didn't make my skin tingle in anticipation. Still, the alluring immortals are in for a surprise, because ancient debt aside, I'm not going down without a fight. Bound in Crimson is the first installment in a sinfully sexy reverse harem paranormal romance series that is sure to leave readers gasping for more!

We'll burn this city to the ground to find her. Taken by one enemy and held captive by another, Calla is forced deeper into the supernatural world of power games and deceit, used in a vicious attempt to gain leverage over the vampires she's bound to. But she isn't about to be a pawn-not again. Haunted by his dark and bloody past, Gabriel may have no choice but to reunite with the woman from his nightmares to get Calla back, while Atlas, Kade, and Lex are left to deal with the vampire hunters, an age-old threat that has made a deadly, modern-day comeback. When Calla finally gets the answers she's been searching for and discovers there are more dangerous things than the men she wants to hate but her body craves, she must face the reality that letting herself care about them only gives her more to lose. And with enemies closing in on all sides, she could lose everything. Tempted by Fire is the second installment in the steamy, unputdownable Blood Oath series!

"STARTLING . . . FIENDISH . . . MEMNOCH'S TALE IS COMPELLING." --New York Daily News "Like Interview with the Vampire, Memnoch has a half-maddened, fever-pitch intensity. . . . Narrated by Rice's most cherished character, the vampire Lestat, Memnoch tells a tale as old as Scripture's legends and as modern as today's religious strife." --Rolling Stone "SENSUAL . . . BOLD, FAST-PACED." --USA Today "Rice has penned an ambitious close to this long-running series. . . . Fans will no doubt devour this." --The Washington Post Book World "MEMNOCH THE DEVIL OFFERS PASSAGES OF POETIC BRILLIANCE." --Playboy "[MEMNOCH] is one of Rice's most intriguing and sympathetic characters to date. . . . Rice ups the ante, taking Lestat where few writers have ventured: into heaven and hell itself. She carries it off in top form." --The Seattle Times
