Be Mine Tonight
by Kathryn Smith

I am called Chapel . . .

For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...

Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland, whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal kiss?

Kathryn Smith's Bio

During mandatory reading time in the Nova Scotia school system, Kathryn Smith was the only kid in her 9th grade class allowed to write rather than read. When classmates began passing around the pages of her stories, Kathryn decided fiction writing was what she wanted to do with her life. 12 years (and numerous false starts) later, she quit her job in retail and gave her dream a shot. Her first attempt at a romance resulted in four hundred pages of cliches and bad melodrama. Thankfully it was rejected by any and all who saw it. Her second attempt, ELUSIVE PASSION was published by Avon in April 2001. Kathryn hasn't stopped writing since. Currently she lives in Ottawa, Ontario with her wonderful husband and a cat who is slightly less than wonderful. Kathryn is working on her next Avon.
