Secret of the Pale Lover — Clarissa Ross

THE LADY AND THE VAMPIRE...

The invitation to Chateau Langlais delighted Eve Lewis. She was an aficionado of black magic, and the scholarly count who had approached her during a Parisian revel promised a treasure from the past - stimulating occult experiences that she would never forget. And there was the promise of one more treasure: the chance to meet Count Henri's nephew, Leonard, wan from a tragic blood ailment to the point where he could not leave the remote chateau. But Leonard was a young man of unfathomable charm and grace - a young man, the count felt, who needed Eve.

Why was the count so certain that Eve was the answer to Leonard's problems? Could the young man really be...a vampire? Intrigued, and half in love with an ancient superstition, Eve could not help but respond - until she found herself trapped in that sinister house! Trapped, and unable to escape the cold terror of the Langlais' true intentions...and a fate beyond her most horrified suspicions.
