    I should hate them, yet there's no denying my body reacts to their every touch. When my ancestors lost everything in a business deal gone wrong, they were forced to make a sacrifice-a blood oath, promising the firstborn daughter of their bloodline to a league of vampires. And now they've come to collect. Atlas. Kade. Gabriel. Lex. All seductively sexy and unimaginably dangerous. Torn from everything I've ever known, they take me captive in their Washington, D.C. mansion. Each is determined to own me-body, heart, and soul. I'd be lying if I said the thought of that didn't make my skin tingle in anticipation. Still, the alluring immortals are in for a surprise, because ancient debt aside, I'm not going down without a fight. This omnibus has over 900 pages of sinfully sexy and addicting paranormal reverse harem romance and contains the following titles: Bound in Crimson Tempted by Fire Entangled in Scarlet Fated in Ruby Unraveled by Desire Raptured by Eternity A Very Crimson Christmas (holiday short story)

Part poetry, part fiction, part memoir, all honesty, "No Apologies" is a compelling slice of human experience in all of its crass, hopeful, sincere and tender glory. And it says it...with no apologies.
