Blood Red Dawn — Karen E. Taylor

A New Beginning...Or A Bloody End?
For Deirdre Griffin and her lover, Mitch, the prospect of immortality is bearable--as long as they can spend everlasting life together. At their English seaside pub, The Black Rose, they charge tourists by the pint (of blood). But when Deirdre goes missing, everything changes. The only clue left behind is a syringe that may have contained a paralytic drug engineered to affect vampires. Even worse, Deirdre isn't in the best of health. Her blood is undergoing a metamorphosis that could cure her vampirism, but may also have the side effect of killing her. There is a chance to reverse the change except for one glitch--she's pregnant.

Who is powerful enough to overpower Deirdre and why? The desperate search for his mate will take Mitch across the ocean to New Orleans, the haunted city that was once Deirdre's home, and that hides secrets both sacred and profane in the dark shadows of its mossy cemeteries and crumbling mansions. Human or vampire, whoever took Deirdre has also jeopardized the life of Mitch's unborn child--the last link he has to his humanity. And should harm befall either of them, he'll take his revenge in blood...
