title: A Dark Gift
author: Lake, Andra
description: In a world where humans know vampires exist, people will do anything to obtain the dark gift. When Jules awakens strapped to a bed, he knows he's a vampire. The only thing that will make it perfect is if he can change the girl he met while working as a bartender in San Francisco. Jules has never wanted a woman as much as he wants Cayley, and he has very particular tastes. Jules' sire, master vampire Kosta, demands that he stay away from her and focus on the colony. But Jules has never let himself be controlled by anyone, and he's not about to start now. Nineteen year-old Cayley has had a crush on the handsome bartender Jules since the day she met him, but he has never made an indication that he returns her feelings. When he shows up one night and reveals his change, she's more than welcome to accept the gift. However, Jules' offer contains a stipulation: she must agree to be his completely-mind, body, and soul.
