Vampire Cerene Cerene is a master vampire and has been watching the Prince’s entire life unfold before her. Immortality lends her the patience to watch her prey play their human games of politics, war, and romance. She knows they will stumble and she waits for that opportunity to strike. So she is confident in her plans and in herself. She knows she is beautiful and powerful and she uses that to achieve her goals. Cerene sees Tristan as a project. She wants to deepen his sense of perversion and widen his sexual outlook and experiences. She’d rather have him learn to value all the different pleasures she can teach him than have him groomed for the throne. Tristan will have to decide what he really wants. Prince Tristan Prince Tristan is ready to be the man his kingdom needs. As a prince, he should be in a position of power and authority. But out of fear, the King has kept Tristan out of the public eye. He also kept Tristan from any sort of true responsibility. So Tristan is left in this place of being constantly ready. Noble, valiant, and ready for battle, ready for a life with his Duchess, and always ready for sex. Having nothing to do but see to his own pleasure, Tristan has honed his skills and carnal knowledge to a lethal point. When Tristan finds out about the agreement with the Vampires his ancestors were forced to make, he’s compelled into immediate action. But he’s unaware of just how wrong that could go for him. Or how very right. Duchess Sophia Duchess Sophia has every plan for Prince Tristan to make her Queen. As clever as she is stunning, Sophia thrives in court life while Tristan wants adventure. She is in every sense a lady and though she enjoys being taught what makes her scream, sometimes she just can’t take an improper step. She needs to learn how to loosen up her bodice, but while confined to the life of coutier, she may never get that experience. Sophia loves Tristan and the promise of their future life together, but she’s worried about his fate on this adventure. Will Tristan come back and redeem his night of anal with her?
