who know the beautiful, mysterious Ann Van Helsing believe she is insane. Yet
Ann's curse is not lunacy, but rather the deep psychic ability that allows her
to know everything about another human being -- their history, thoughts, and desires
-- simply by touching them. Overwhelmed by a power she can barely control, Ann
roams the woods and caves near her estate, searching for a peace that eludes her.
It is here she encounters the man who will change everything. To repent for an
unforgivable transgression against his own kind, vampire Stephen Sincai has become
a vigilante who must hunt and kill those whom other vampires have made. When Ann
discovers Stephen bleeding in the woods, she reaches to touch him before she can
stop herself. In an instant, Ann knows every fiber of Stephen's being -- and the
knowledge is at once frightening and insatiable. Ann and Stephen are drawn together
by a force more powerful than they know. As Stephen and Ann continues to fight
against the evil surrounding them, an unseen treachery has yet to be revealed:
an enemy bent on destroying them by making them choose between what they love
and fear the most. | | |

night, in each other’s arms, they would find a way to have each other and freedom
both. | | |

DANEGELD (July 2001) — It was the silver the Saxons
would pay to keep the dreaded Viking marauders from their shores. It was the price
a half-Irish beauty would pay to keep the murderer of her father and mother at
bay, to keep the powerful magic of her forebears from overwhelming her, to keep
the stirrings of her womanhood in check. It was all that one mighty Viking would
give to remain to a man, to be whole, to retain the respect of the jarls and the
might of his sword arm. It was DANEGELD. In England's Dark Ages, sometimes it
was all that stood between what a person was and what he should be. And it was
the only thing in the way of true love. | | |
| Danegeld has won regional contests sponsored by the
Romance Writers of America all over the United States, including California, Washington,
Utah. Texas, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Ohio. Winner of
the Holt Medallion for Best First Book Winner of the Golden
Heart Contest for 2000 - Best Paranormal Romance.
