William The Damned
Marry a Lord. Desire a Vampire.
Susanna's destiny was sealed the moment her father died. An arranged marriage across the sea to Lord Francois of France. But fate has a far more dangerous plan.
On the brutal, open water, her ship is seized by William, a pirate whose charm is as lethal as his bite. He's not just a captor; he's a vampire. And in his dangerous shadow, Susanna discovers a terrifying truth: her fear is eclipsed only by her undeniable, burning desire for the man who stole her freedom.
Her choice is tearing her apart:
Duty: The respectable life, the powerful Lord, the societal obligation waiting for her in France.
Destiny: The immortal pirate, the forbidden love, the pulse-pounding danger that promises a life of pure passion.
Even after Susanna honours her vow, William refuses to let her go. Their complex love triangle spirals into obsession, culminating in a violent, desperate confrontation.
But in this world of eternal night, passion demands the ultimate sacrifice.
Get lost in this gripping Young Adult Gothic Vampire Romance, where one woman's duty clashes with a deadly, immortal love. Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, period drama, and high-stakes tragedy.

Read an excerpt
THE SQUARE RIGGER, weighing ninety tonnes, glides across the still waters, towed along with the tides. The waves lap at its sides lazily, while seagulls swoop languidly onto its deck. The sun beats down upon it relentlessly.
Should another boat pass it, it would look like a ghost ship, with not a soul upon its deck. However, should the innocent passer-by, happen to board the ship and proceed down to its lower levels, a sight of great horror would await such a wretched person. For below the deck, there is a sight beyond belief, fifty men and women dead upon their backs.
Their eyes are closed and their hands twined together upon their chest. Here on the lowest deck, where not an inch of light manages to intrude, they lie dead.
SUSANNA BOARDS THE Majestic to travel from England to France. Betrothed to Lord Francois, her heart is heavy, but she knows she has no choice. Her father died and left them with nothing, so now her and her mother’s only salvation is for her to go to France and to marry Lord Francois.
Grace, her servant girl, walks behind her, lifting the back of her dress so it does not drag across the dirty deck. Although Susanna is sure the captain keeps it clean, many feet have trampled mud all over it, from down below on the docks.
The ship is not more than three times as long as it is wide, and Susanna crosses her chest shocked when she walks into her cabin. The cabin is hardly big enough for her to turn about in. There is a single bed pushed against the wall and an armoire against the wall opposite the bed. The space between these two items of furniture is just large enough for her to walk into, the wide expanse of her dress brushing along the sides. The small porthole is in the centre of the wall, and looking out of it, Susanna notices she is level with the water lapping against the side of the boat.
Grace starts to unpack the bags for the long voyage, and they manage to move around each other with great difficulty. Susanna decides to go up onto the deck, while Grace finishes her tasks.
Up on the deck Susanna leans against the railing, looking down with curiosity as she sees the crew untie the anchor, she hears the cries of men as they hoist the sails, and then sadly she watches the coast of England drift away from her. Her mother did not come to bid her farewell, as she has an urgent appointment with her solicitor, which she could not postpone.
