To Peter, my Mel and my Con wrapped up in one (slightly untidy) package. Hey, am I lucky or what?

It was a dumb thing to do but it wasn't that dumb.

I went with him into the night.

From acclaimed author Robin McKinley--a mesmerizing novel of supernatural desire . . .
Sunshine
"Her feet are already bleeding--if you like feet . . "
There are places in the world where darkness rules, where it's unwise to walk. Sunshine knew that. But there hadn't been any trouble out at the lake for years, and she needed a place to be alone for a while.
Unfortunately, she wasn't alone. She never heard them coming. Of course you don't when they're vampires.
They took her clothes and sneakers. They dressed her in a long red gown. And they shackled her to the wall of an abandoned mansion-within easy reach of a figure stirring in the moonlight.
She knows that it is a vampire. She knows that she's to be his dinner, and that when he is finished with her, she will be dead. Yet, when light breaks, she finds that he has not attempted to harm her. And now it is he who needs her to help him survive the day . . .
