Forbidden: The Bittersweet Vampire Chronicles, Book 1 (The Bittersweet Vampire Chronicles #1)

After her family's tragic encounter with deadly vampires, Ariel plans a fitting revenge for the cruel vampire warlord. With a fake name and story she secretly travels to their stronghold intending to use her weird abilities to kill the oldest vampire brother responsible. Her plan is perfect. What could go wrong? It's not like she's going to get in a riding accident and wake up with amnesia, right?

ONE PRETTY LITTLE GIRL. Discovered wandering alone in the heavily forested Highlands as a toddler, Ariel--with her inquisitive glowing eyes, supernatural healing abilities, tiny fangs, bouncing pale curls and happy disposition--was discreetly adopted into the MacDonnel clan and officially claimed as the big, burly leader's illegitimate daughter after she miraculously healed his young son, Kaid.

TWO OBSESSED WARRIORS. Now--years later--while on their families annual hunt, Ariel is being guarded well--as always--by her big, insanely protective adopted brother, Kaid, the future leader of Clan MacDonnel who’s also her best friend. Unfortunately, Kaid's other best friend, Bran--her aggressive, secret ex-boyfriend--is busy reminding her how much he now despises the very sight of her.

THEN ENEMIES EMERGE. Her personal problems soon pale into the background, however, when the MacDonnel's inadvertently anger the Fraser's--one of the most viscous clans in all the Highlands, led by a cruel vampire warlord and his two brothers. Up to this point, Ariel's whole life has been filled with pretending she's not stronger, faster and more skilled than every member of her clan. But her desire to protect her people from any more Fraser attacks will soon have her flexing those rarely used abilities.

INTENT ON RETRIBUTION. While Kaid and Bran are away on a trip, Ariel secretly leaves her home and travels to the impenetrable Fraser stronghold to ask for sanctuary by using a false identity. And when she eventually meets the oldest brother, Ariel intends to smile and flirt, biding her time until she has the perfect opportunity to murder the vampire leader.

The first vampire that Ariel had ever met had never suspected that such a sweet face could be so deadly.

IT’S THE PERFECT PLAN. What could go wrong? It’s not like she’s going to get in an accident and wake up with amnesia, right?
