The Vampire Viccount AND The Devil’s Bargain
Karen Harbaugh

The Vampire Viscount
Being a vampire is okay—you get to stay up all night, women find you irresistable, you're strong, fast, and magic is yours for the taking. But Nicholas, Viscount St. Vire finds all of that means little in the face of impending insanity and the eventual deterioration of his senses. Only the the willing embrace of a virginal young woman can reverse his condition. Who better for his wife- to-be than the impoverished Leonore Farleigh, whose abusive father sells her to St. Vire to pay off gaming debts? Leonore agrees to marry him—how else is she going to save her sister and her mother from their poverty and pain? But she soon finds she's stepped into a marriage of inconvenience ... and possible death.

The Devil's Bargain
Returning home from the Peninsular war, and faced with the possible ruin of his sister and the destitution of the tenants on his estate, Richard, Lord Clairmond does the only thing he can: sell his soul to Lucifer and accomplish one little task, in exchange for wealth. How hard can it be?

All he has to do is seduce and abandon Miss Eveline Seton, a lowly merchant's daughter. But it isn't as easy as he thought, especially when he falls desperately in love with her...and finds he's got more than he bargained for in this intelligent young woman.
