Vampire Life — T.L. Gardner

Love. It drives men. It is a total reason for being to some. For Darion Valpariso it was life. Finding true love was his reason for existence. But true love would not be so easily captured. Heartache and sorrow shattered his hopes of one day finding that which he sought, often leaving him filled with the opposite of his desires . . . hate. It seemed love was not meant for him to hold, so he gave up, learning to hate the very thing that drove him to take breath. But then something happened-something that would change his outlook on true love forever. But what could it be? The answer lay beneath the hot, sandy surface of the desert, in an ancient Saudi Arabian tomb. The resting place of an unspeakable evil. An evil that would threaten to devour his very soul, and yet give him that which he sought . . . true love.
