Hell's Belle

A Shadow Ancient Tale... Belle DuPont has one hard and fast rule—take the money and run. It's worked perfectly for the first century of her life, and she sees no reason to change anything. Until she meets vampire Misha Tsarentza, a clan elder of the Ancients. His duty by blood and her obligation by salary put them on the road to protecting the Ancients' highest authority from a band of rogue vampires intent on the destruction of the old ways and the old leaders. Belle soon discovers that swearing off love is hard to do when faced with the intensity of Misha's company and her increasing attraction to him. Uniting to fight a bunch of big bad Ancients is one thing...uniting her heart with his is quite another. Especially when falling in love may lead to both her execution and his.
