The Yearning, by Hannah Howell
Tormented by an ancient curse, the young men of Clan MacCordy reach manhood only to walk forever in darkness, thirsting for blood—and Alpin MacCordy is no different. He must wed for coin and land, despite his betrothed's terror—and his own fascination for another woman, Lady Sophie Hay. . .
Bitten, by Lynsay Sands
After brooding Keeran MacKay saves Emily Wentworth Collins from a storm-tossed ship: he offers her shelter in his secluded castle. But when a savage kiss reveals Keeran's true nature, Emily realizes that yielding to Keeran's untamed desire may change her own life. . .forever.
Stranger in the Night, by Sara Blayne
Georgiana Thornberry hopes to unearth ancient treasure while exploring the moldering ruins of her ancestral home. Instead she encounters Julius Lathrop. Does the enigmatic—and disturbingly attractive—stranger hold the key to a family legend? Or something far more sinister?

Orphaned Thalia Layton is stricken to hear that her beloved, eccentric Aunt Cordelia has taken ill. But upon her arrival at Cordelia's remote estate, Thalia discovers that her aunt has harbored dangerous secrets—and that Thalia's own attraction to Adrian Lucerne, Cordelia's mysterious—and oddly nocturnal—companion, may prove to be a sensual temptation that will cost her life. . .

Dark and sexy vampire romances are now all the rage, and this trade paperback collection of four novellas features a wide array of styles and historical settings. Veteran writer Howells's "The Yearning" takes readers to 15th-century Scotland with a tale of vengeance, a witch's curse, and a heroine brave enough to set things right; in Lynsay Sands's "Bitten," a young woman is rescued from a shipwreck only to learn that her savior is not quite human; Sara Blayne's "Stranger in the Night" tells of a young antiquarian searching through the ruins of an ancient manor and finding more than the treasure she seeks; and in Kate Huntington's "The Awakening," an orphan rushing to the estate of her ailing aunt learns that the mysterious stranger she encounters along the way is not only her aunt's longtime companion but also something far more ominous. Sensual, dark, and mesmerizing, these stories should appeal to fans of such authors as Christine Feehan.Copyright 2003 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
