Arson forces Gideon Keel and his human lovers, Jesse Madding and Emma Coolidge, to find a new home after all their possessions are destroyed. Jesse and Emma are drawn to a decaying mansion that once served as a boarding school, but has long since sat abandoned. With its winding halls and haphazard wings, its private chapel, and its two-story library, the house is too fascinating to refuse.<br><br>But something sinister lurks in those winding halls. Something violent and dark. Something that locks the house, steals Gideon’s memories, possesses Emma’s body, and threatens Jesse’s life on the evening of their housewarming party. As the night progresses and the body count increases, Jesse must find a way to stop Gideon from killing their friends. Even harder, Jesse must convince the vampire who doesn’t remember him, or the love the three of them share, to fight for their lives.

Dominion

The fresh scent of Emma’s blood hit Gideon’s senses.


“There isn’t enough pain in the world for what I want you to feel. Is there some pit of hell I can toss you back into instead?”


“You can’t,” Michelle said as she carried Emma’s prone body to the door. “You can’t, but John can when he’s weak enough.”


“You’ll never banish me anywhere,” the demon rasped. “I’ll tear you apart.”


“Kind of hard to do if you don’t have any arms.” Or whatever they were. To make his point, he used his free hand to grab the maimed limb and slammed it upward, into the socket, until the creature shouted in pain.


As he wrestled the demon around the couch, Michelle opened the door. The scent of Jesse immediately assaulted him, and he risked a glance to see if his pet was there.


He wasn’t. Gideon was relieved. He didn’t want to have to worry about both Emma and Jesse until the demon was gone.
