[Siren Classic: Erotic Paranormal Historical Romance, vampires, bondage, spanking] Evangeline Rutledge, an innocent young girl of gentle birth, is sold by her avaricious guardian to a Lord who has the reputation of being a vampire. Terrified, Evangeline runs away, and Lord Dominic Ravenscroft, known as The Raven, anticipates her reluctance to marry him and goes after her. So begins their relationship in a rundown castle in the wilds of the Yorkshire moors. The scene is made yet more desolate because it is winter. As it turns out, Raven is not only a vampire but also an assassin for the British government, and the screams Evangeline heard upon her arrival were the screams of a traitor being killed, not an innocent woman murdered for her blood. Evangeline, when she discovers her true self, is not quite so innocent as everyone thinks. Ultimately, the vampire and the inexperienced girl find that being opposites can make for a perfect marriage-and that a spanking can be extremely arousing. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
