Dark Stranger (Vampire Book Club)
Bestseller Sizemore launches the Vampire Book Club series with a far-future paranormal romance supposedly read by characters in her Primes novels (Primal Needs, etc.). Human diplomat Zoe Pappas is negotiating with the alien Asi when the enemy Hajim attack and seize her command ship. Taken to a prison planet where humans uneasily coexist with other species, Zoe finds that the human leader, the physically imposing Brig. Gen. Matthias Raven, refuses to allow any escape attempts. Disguised as a navy lieutenant, Zoe attempts to navigate the prison's unfamiliar system and her attraction to Matthias while hiding her powers and guarding a dangerous secret. When an unexpected threat closes in, they must join forces to save all the prisoners. Though technically a stand-alone, this tale will appeal most to Primes readers tickled by the idea of Sizemore writing her own fanfic.(Nov.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
