Vampire Bride — Maria Isabel Pita

Audrey Goodrich is dealing with the fact that Jonathan, her shape-shifter boyfriend, literally stabbed her in the heart. It happened in another life -- when she was Afanasiia, a countess whose beauty and cruelty were both legendary -- but in the paranormal mist of the Dragon's Breath, past and present are easily and dangerously confused.

Infected by a drop of Lord Falkon's eternal blood, she feels herself changing inside, growing impatient with the restraints Jonathan and her father place on her for her own safety. But despite the threat to her immortal soul, and her engagement to Jonathan, she is tempted to once again become Falkon's beloved and all-powerful vampire bride.
