Vows — V.R. Cumming

In the few short months since becoming a vampire's blood slave, Eric Logan has grown from a lonely geek into a man on the verge of turning into a vampire himself. He's surrounded by the people he loves: Gianna Brady, his future bride and the woman who carries his child; Jason Bellmont, a college basketball player with the strength to outwit the cold man; Devin Hardinger, Eric's roster mate and lover; and Elizabet, the vampire whom Eric and Devin serve.



With an upcoming marriage to plan and a favorite to prepare, Eric has little time for anything else. Marco, Elizabet's favorite, has other ideas. After centuries of protecting his mistress, Marco is ready to die and needs a strong mind to continue his work once he's gone. Though Eric is too far along in the turn to become Elizabet's new favorite, his burgeoning strength makes him the perfect future ally, an alliance Marco is determined to foster, whether Eric wants him to or not.



Through marriage, friendship, and the blood bond, Eric, Gianna, and Jason forge a family and vow to protect one another against all threats, no matter what the price, and no matter what, or who, stands in their way.
