| Two thousand years ago, a monster called Balfent murdered and turned
three cousins, Aiden, Adrian and Andrei Di Claudio, into vampires. He
kept them as slaves for fifty years, forcing unspeakable acts upon
them before they bonded together and defeated him. They gained their
freedom but they still hear his foul voice. They remained bonded and
can't hide their thoughts from each other. Balfent is forever chasing
them to enslave them once more. They are forever searching for a way
to kill him to free themselves and the world from the evil, vile
monster.
Anything is the story of Andrei Di Claudio.Andrei is amused by the false beliefs people have about vampires. He wears a crucifix and attends mass regularly. He is a good, practicing Catholic, a believer with strong faith. When he dips his hand in holy water, all it ever gets is wet. He can see his reflection in a mirror, too. Andrei owned, among his many holdings, a series of concert arenas. One evening he heard Alexa singing her signature song, Anything. He knew that she was meant for him. He drove to the arena to find her but she'd already gone. He could feel her as she drew him to her. Unfortunately, because he could feel his mate, so could Balfent. Balfent was determined to take her, defile her and use her to regain control over the Di Claudio men. Will Andrei reach her in time? Or will Balfent capture Alexa and end Andrei's only chance at love? Anything is a sensuously hot erotic love story delicately woven through the age-old fight between good and evil. Adrian's hounding of Balfent affords some time and space for Andrei and Alexa to spend nurturing each other and their love. Since it will take all three cousins working together to defeat Balfent, we probably haven't seen the last of Andrei and Alexa. One would have to guess that the second installment of the trilogy will be about Adrian finding love. I believe we can safely have every expectation that follow-up stories will be as great as Anything.
