Beneath a Blood Red Moon
By Shannon Drake, 1999

"Master storyteller Shannon Drake plunges readers into breathtaking stories of irresistible passion. Now, in a take that sweeps the reader from the antebellum South to contemporary New Oreals, she explores the dark, sensuous world of love and immortality -- of the beauty and the beast whom some call vampire..."

"Maggie Montgomery, the owner of Magdalena's, an elegant New Orleans boutique, was shocked to learn about the mysterious beheading of a local street person, and the trail of blood that led from the corpse to her building. Her shock turned to turmoil when she met Sean Canady, the police officer who arrived to question her... and inspire a dangerous desire.

Something powerful -- and beyond reason -- had brought Maggie and Sean together. Something that spoke of an interwoven past, and a passionate torment that began generations before under a blood red moon. For on that night, over a hundred years ago, disturbing events occured within the Montgomery family, and now Maggie must begin a quest to find the one man whose love was pure enough to save her from the darkness within..."
