  Her power is awakening. 
  Her heart is divided. 
  And the vampire world is ready to burn. 
  Ava Winters thought surviving a dagger to the heart and betrayal by the man she trusted most was the end of her nightmare. But it was only the beginning. 
  Now bound by ancient vampire blood and hunted by deadly factions, Ava finds herself torn between two immortal brothers. Lucien—the prince who saved her life and swore to protect her. Damon—the rebel who awakened something primal and terrifying inside her. 
  As Ava’s abilities grow out of control, a darker truth emerges: she is the last heir of the Nightborne—a cursed bloodline feared by all, desired by many, and destined to either rule… or destroy. 
  When a powerful vampire queen named Selene rises from Lucien’s past, offering Ava a throne—and the truth about her heritage—Ava is faced with an impossible decision. 
  To become a weapon. 
  To choose a side. 
  To embrace the darkness… or lose everything. 
  Bound by Blood is the thrilling, sensual second installment of the Midnight Vows series—a story of passion, betrayal, dangerous alliances, and the seductive hunger that binds them all. 
  Perfect for fans of steamy vampire romance, intense love triangles, and heroines discovering their dark power.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  "Every painting is a secret the canvas tries to keep. But what if the secret stares back at you?” 
  They told her that the school was prestigious. That it had trained visionaries. That the isolated location was part of its charm. 
  But when Isadora arrives at the remote European art academy, she senses something is wrong. Whispers crawl through the hallways. The instructors' smiles don’t reach their eyes. And the paintings—the paintings bleed. 
  Her brush reveals more than beauty. It exposes the rot beneath the surface, the spirits trapped in pigment, and the truth about her own reflection. 
  Inspired by the atmospheric dread of classic Italian horror, this is a creepy tale of art, madness, and witch's desire that feeds on creativity.

  To supplement his income while he's completing his degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—he'll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of ways. But when it comes to actual relationships—and sex—Harry doesn't get the appeal. He doesn't get the same tingly feelings everyone else seems to when they meet someone. And he’s fine with that. 
   
   
   
  Jack Windsor abandoned his university degree to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic. He's happy with his choices, but leaving uni meant losing his accommodation, and now he's crashing on his sister Mia's couch. It isn't ideal, but it's only until he finds something else—which is proving difficult. 
   
   
   
  When Jack recognizes Harry from his sister's terrible date, he almost kills him. In the aftermath he discovers that not only was Harry's bad date with Mia a setup, but that Harry is looking for a roommate. 
   
   
   
  Moving in with Harry is great, if only he wasn't so distractingly cute—and totally uninterested in Jack. Except as they grow closer, for the first time ever Harry starts to develop feelings. But how can Harry and Jack be together when Jack's family thinks that Harry is the worst human being in the universe? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume our classic authors turn their words and narratives to a decade when Europe is engulfed in revolution. At home London becomes the largest city on the globe, as the Industrial Revolution gathers pace amidst stirrings of increasing social unrest.
