Lynsay Sands – Argeneau Series





Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 1 – A Quick Bite

That hot guy tied to Lissianna Argeneau's bed? He's not dessert—he's the main course!

Lissianna has been spending her centuries pining for Mr. Right, not just a quick snack, and this sexy guy she finds in her bed looks like he might be a candidate. But there's another, more pressing issue: her tendency to faint at the sight of blood . . . an especially annoying quirk for a vampire. Of course it doesn't hurt that this man has a delicious-looking neck. What kind of cold-blooded vampire woman could resist a bite of that?

Dr. Gregory Hewitt recovers from the shock of waking up in a stranger's bedroom pretty quickly—once he sees a gorgeous woman about to treat him to a wild night of passion. But is it possible for the good doctor to find true love with a vampire vixen, or will he be just a good meal? That's a question Dr. Greg might be willing to sink his teeth into . . . if he can just get Lissianna to bite.


Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 2 – Love Bites

True love: good from the first bite...

Etienne Argeneau can turn one human into a vampire in his lifetime - an honour his kind usually reserved for their life mates, to let their love life forever.

But it's all a bit more complicated than that. Rachel Garrett, a beautiful coroner, has just saved his life and now she's about to lose hers. Etienne has a choice: he can save her life in turn and thus doom himself to an eternity alone, unable to create his own life mate. Or he can watch his saviour die and life in the name of a love he has yet to meet.

Her life and his love weigh in the balance and whatever Etienne does he may live to regret for eternity...

The first book in the Argeneau series introduces the Argeneau family and features a chaotic romance you can really sink your teeth into.




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 3 – Single White Vampire

Roundhouse Publishing editor Kate C Leever's first letter to her new author was meant to impress upon him the growing demand for vampire romances. And even though he'd expressed little-to-no desire for any publicity, book tours, or similar, it was clear this was an author just waiting to be broken out - despite himself, if necessary.

When she suggested attending a romance convention his response - unusually quick to arrive - was succinct: 'No.'

But Kate was adamant: Mr Lucern Argeneau was going to attend a romance convention and meet his fans. By hook or by crook, despite his reclusive nature and odd sleep patterns, the surly yet handsome author would attend. And she was sure that, once there, he would reveal himself to be a true charmer.

Of course, that was before she realised that his 'romances' were more like biographies and it's literally her neck on the line...




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 4 – Tall, Dark & Hungry

When Terri flew from England to New York to help plan her cousin Kate's wedding, she didn't know what she expected - but it certainly wasn't the Argeneaus.

Her new in-laws may seem a little strange, with the sometimes-chipper sometimes-brooding writer Lucern - Kate's fiancee - and Vincent, the wacky stage actor (she couldn't imagine Broadway casting a hungrier looking all singing, all dancing Dracula), but having just discovered how expensive New York hotels can be, suddenly their offer of accomodation looks much more attractive.

And then there's Bastien. Even taller, darker and hungrier looking than the other two, just looking into his eyes is enough to make Terri admit she's falling for him. Surely she can put up with the Argeneau's odd habits for a few days - to stay in their luxurious penthouse apartment, with the lovely Bastien - if it lets her avoid New York's blood-sucking hotel prices!




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 5 – A Bite to Remember

If you're going to fall in love with a vampire, make sure it's a bite to remember...

Rule 1: Never get involved with someone who won't be there for you when the sun comes up. Rule 2: Never kiss a vampire...it can be a pain in the neck.

Once bitten, twice shy - and sexy PI Jackie Morrisey so wasn't going there again with a vampire. Vincent Argeneau might be the hottest guy she'd ever met, living or dead, but she'd been hired to stop a killer from turning him into dust, not to jump into bed with him.

So what if Vincent's had four hundred years to perfect his kissing skills and looks incredibly tempting when he runs around the house shirtless. He's also charming, protective...and did we mention he can kiss? Jackie needs to be on her guard, or else she'll have to come up with a new rule: if you're going to fall in love with a vampire, make sure it's a bite to remember.




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 6 – Bite Me If You Can

A rogue vampire turned her. Now a vampire hunter is going to save her...

One minute Leigh was walking home in the early hours of the morning and the next a vampire was sinking his teeth into her neck. It turns out he was a rogue vampire already marked for termination...but that doesn't do Leigh any good. The damage has already been done: she's become one of them.

Lucian Argeneau, rogue vampire hunter, has been alive for over two thousand years and there's not much that can excite him anymore. Food has become tasteless, sex is ordinary, life is increasingly bland. Then Leigh drops into his life and suddenly he finds himself craving coffee...and imagining the sassy brunette atop the black satin sheets of his lovely big bed! It's Lucian's job teach Leigh about being immortal, a task made more difficult as tutoring her ignites a fire in him that hasn't burned for centuries. But until they stop a renegade bloodsucker from destroying the human race, the passion will have to wait!




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 7 – The Accidental Vampire

Fate gave her fangs, but only Victor Argeneau can show her how to use them...

Ever since an accident turned her into a knockout vamp, Elvi Black's been catching her z's in a coffin, staying out of the sun and giving up garlic. She knows there's more to being undead than what she saw in Dracula, but she can't very well ask her mortal friends about proper biting etiquette. But when her neighbours placed a personal ad for her in the local paper, she never imagined she'd meet Victor Argeneau, a vampire who could have his pick of women - dead or alive.

Rich, powerful and drop-dead gorgeous, Victor's the perfect man for a novice neck-biter like Elvi. He's willing to teach her everything he knows, but he'll have to do it fast. Someone's out to put a stake through her new vamp life and only Victor can keep her safe - and satisfied - for all eternity.




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 8 – Vampires Are Forever

He's been waiting forever for a woman like her...

Inez Urso is beginning to have her doubts. Her business associate Thomas Argeneau has some interesting traits, like an allergic reaction to the sun, excellent night vision and not much of an appetite for food. And to top it all off, he just tried to bite her neck...but maybe that was a sign of passion. If so, she'd be happy to experience more, despite her determination not to mix business with pleasure.

Well, if not forever, at least two hundred years. Inez is the most beautiful woman he's seen in centuries. Those luscious lips, seductive curves and her elegant neck...he just couldn't resist the temptation of one little bite. Now Thomas will do anything to convince her that only an immortal like him can satisfy her all night long...




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 9 – Vampire, Interrupted

It was a case she could sink her teeth into...

After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She s training to be a private investigator and her first assignment is to find an immortal s mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realises she's in way over her head.

Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her.

It's been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven t changed. Now if only he can keep her alive - so to speak - so they can have that happily-ever-after.




Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 10 – The Rogue Hunter

The Rogue Hunter - an immortal who protects the world from renegade vampires.

Samantha Willan is a workaholic lawyer. She's grateful for some rest and relaxation in cottage country and after a recent break-up she wants to stay as far away from romance as possible. Then she meets her irresistible new neighbor. There's something strange and mysterious about his eyes. Is it just her imagination, or are they locked on her neck...

Garrett Mortimer is a rogue hunter. His last assignment united Lucian Argeneau with his life mate and Mortimer is hoping this one will be less...adventurous.

He's here to track down a reported rogue, but fun in the sun is every bloodsucker's nightmare. Worse, he can't seem to get his mind off Samantha, especially when he spies her skinny-dipping in the lake. After eight hundred years as a bachelor, is he ready to turn a volatile attraction into a lasting love affair?

Before he can worry about that, though, he's got to rescue the latest victim. It's all part of the job, including taking a bullet for a beautiful doctor.

Dr Danielle McGill doesn't know if she can trust the man who just saved her life. There are too many questions, such as what is the secret organisation he says he's part of and why do his wounds hardly bleed? However, with her sister in the hands of some dangerous men, she doesn't have much choice but to trust him.

Except now Decker's talking about life mates and awakening a passion that's taking Dani beyond anything she's ever known. Being undead may not be half-bad...especially if it means spending forever with a man who would love her with his mind, body and immortal soul.



Lynsay Sands – Argeneau 12 - The Renegade Hunter

The Argeneau family has a secret - one of their own is a rogue vampire!

Nicholas Argeneau was once a successful hunter who went after rogue vampires who break the immortal law. Except no one has mentioned his name in the last fifty years, not since he turned into a rogue himself. But once a hunter, always a hunter.

One minute Josephine Willan is taking in a breath of fresh air and the next sharp fangs are heading straight for her neck!

Having already lost a life mate and two wives to suspicious circumstances, Armand isn't willing to risk losing another.

Unfortunately, sending her away was pretty difficult when he couldn't keep his thoughts, not to mention his hands, off her.
