Victoria Embers
Conquest and Redemption
If you are not 18 or older do not read any further. This excerpt is from an erotica author.
Victoria Embers, author of the series, My Vampire Lover and
fellow writing friend, is on my blog today to celebrate the release of her
upcoming novella “Redemption (My Vampire Lover #2)” next Saturday, Feb. 23rd.
Save the date!
If you have read her current release, Conquest (My Vampire
Lover #1), you have seen the excitement this 2,500 word short story has started
for her series, My Vampire Lover. Some
great reviews and some not so great reviews.
But all are ready for more of Caroline and Raphael’s story. And that is great to see. I asked Victoria to share with us her writing
inspiration for her series and an excerpt from the upcoming Redemption as part
of Valentine’s Day.
What is Conquest
About?
Caroline, a werewolf and princess of the Golden realm, has
discovered a new love in her vampire captor. She's willing to risk everything, even her
life, to prove to him she loves him and has forsaken all others including her
family and her pack.
If you haven’t, then you can download it for free on Amazon.

What is Redemption
About?
Before Caroline fell for her vampire lover, she met Raphael,
a warrior of the Dark realm under difficult circumstances. Raphael's father, the dark lord Asmodeus is
killing off her family and presents Caroline as a pet to Raphael. Caroline has secrets of her own as to why she
let herself be taken and wonders if the vampire willing to help her escape an
enemy or friend? Realizing he must take
action, Raphael works quickly to persuade the werewolf beauty who has claimed
his heart to leave with him at once if he has a chance of setting her free.
What did you learn
while writing Conquest and Redemption?
Because I write in the fantasy genre under another name, I
simply wanted to try something new. It
wasn’t easy at first. I struggled
greatly with trying to figure out what I wanted to write about and if I really
could write romance.
Releasing the short story, Conquest was a smart idea and a
totally bad idea. It got my name out
there, but it also anger people greatly that they didn’t have more to
read. The story was only 2,500
words. Don’t ask me what I was
thinking. Since releasing it in November
2012, it’s been downloaded as a free ebook some 60,000 times so I know people
are looking at it. I added the first two
chapters from Redemption to the short a few weeks ago and that seem to have
helped the negative complaints.
I’m anxious to see what interest Redemption generates and
see if readers like my version of paranormal romance. I watched so many of my favorite romance
files, read love poetry, and tried my best to really think about the concept of
‘true love’ and not letting an opportunity for love pass you by. That was my focus. It was great fun and I hope to be writing
another novella in the series for a May release. We’ll see how it all goes.
Excerpt from “Redemption”
of the series by Victoria Embers, My Vampire Lover.
Please note this excerpt is from Chapter 3 –
Raphael’s Offer and told from Raphael, the hero’s point of view.
Caroline’s eyes grew very wide and I saw the fear surface
behind them. She backed away from
me. “You mean hellhounds, don’t
you? I can’t go up against… I mean I
can’t. I can’t shift without the
Wolf. I can’t. I…”
“Stop that.” My hand
clamped down on hers before she ventured any further. Instantly my heart responded, beating wildly
with a new life I still couldn’t understand.
It was as if her touch, her gaze, her very presence had reawakened my
soul. “Yes, you can,” I argued. “You can do anything you put your mind to. With this wolf you keep referring to or
without. Listen to me.” I pulled her again into my arms, hoping I
managed to be gentler with her than before.
A warmth from her closeness spread through my hands and arms to my chest
and down to my dick, leveling it out into a rock-hard salute. By the moon and stars, how am I going to let
her go? I swallowed down the enormity of my emotions and focused on her eyes,
insisting she return my gaze. When she
did, I whispered to her. “We’ll do it
together like a team.”
“Like friends?” Caroline asked.
“Yes, like friends.
Allies. A partnership. Whatever you’d like to call it. Just because you are a werewolf and I’m a
vampire, sworn enemies of the realms, doesn’t mean we can’t put that aside and
do this. Your life is in danger and I’ll
help you get out of this, okay? I just
need you to trust me. I’ll trust you if
you trust me. Okay?”
She nodded and yanked her cap off. “I hate this thing. I can’t stand to have anything on my
head. Raphael, technically I’m not…”
I waited for her to finish her sentence, but she
didn’t. She bit her bottom lip and
refused to go on. Seeing her mass of
glorious golden hair spill over her shoulders, I was suddenly speechless. She ripped off her jacket and rearranged the
knot in her shirt. I caught a glimpse of
her flat stomach and my body responded.
I wanted to take her right then and there. I wanted to remove the rest of her clothing
and delicately explore every inch of her body, down to the first caress, the
first kiss, the first thrust. I wanted
to claim her for my own, not set her free.
My heart ached and I died a hundred deaths inside as I watched her. She’d be out of my life very soon.
“Okay, I can do this.
Of course I can do that. I’m a
Werewolf Princess. I’m King Lycaon’s
only daughter. I’m fearless. I can do this. Okay.
Okay. Okay.”
“Just think, ‘Kill or be killed.’ My blood will do the rest.” I waited for her to agree with me or at least
acknowledge I had spoken. She continued
messing with her clothes. “Caroline,
you’re shaking!”
