Crimson Awakening
Crimson Awakening
Aubrey Ross
While a stand-alone, this novel is best enjoyed when read with
Crimson Thrall
and
Crimson Prey
.
Chantel Demarko is about to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Driven by
instinct and soul-deep hunger, Chantel will experience glamorous balls, pagan rituals
and the uninhibited decadence of ancient Rome.
Two men await her surrender. Dark, demanding Thorne. And adventurous Jaron.
Each appeals to her in their own way, but together they create a balance, an unshakable
symmetry she has only imagined in her wildest fantasies.
As she abandons herself to the wonder, she discovers the true potential of pleasure
and finds reality itself is far more expansive than she ever dreamed. Boundaries
crumble and time itself is redefined. But with new awareness comes new danger.
Mysteries must be unraveled and Chantel must make painful choices before she can
secure a future with the men she loves.
Reader Advisory: If you’re looking for the gentleman vampire, this is not the book for you.
Blood is their life. It is very much a part of who and what they are.

Chapter One
“That dress is absolutely amazing.”
Chantel Demarko understood the hushed wonder in Eden Keller’s voice. The same
emotion washed over Chantel as she gazed at her reflection in the full-length mirror.
Black lace overlay emerald silk, creating an effect both elegant and sensual. The
strapless bodice hugged her torso and supported her breasts while the skirt flared
gently as it flowed toward her slippered feet.
“At least the dress will look wonderful.” She turned from the mirror with a nervous
smile. “I’m still a little unsure of the steps.”
Eden shook her head and scowled with feigned disapproval. “What kind of a tutor
would I be if my best student couldn’t waltz gracefully after four weeks of private
lessons? You danced with Chad this morning and looked beautiful. It’s doubtful any of
your partners will try any fancy turns. Just feel the music and look into their eyes.”
“I don’t know why I’m letting this tie me in knots.” An abrupt chuckle squeezed
past the lump in her throat. “We both know it’s not like me.” An odd tension had
gathered inside her over the past few nights. Not trepidation, exactly, more an
undefined sense of import. Every detail needed to be perfect and she couldn’t explain
why. “I thought I was going to have to lock you and Chad in a room together just to get
things started. I’m glad you’re finally making up for lost time. Chad was miserable
without you.”
“I was miserable without him too.” Eden’s smile turned dreamy and a pang of envy
twisted Chantel’s heart. She didn’t begrudge them their happiness, far from it. She
loved her brother dearly and wanted nothing but the best for him and his mate. Still,
she couldn’t help wondering what fate had in store for her. Would she ever find
