Dark Stranger

September 21, 2009
Bestseller Sizemore launches the Vampire Book Club series with a far-future paranormal romance supposedly read by characters in her Primes novels (Primal Needs
, etc.). Human diplomat Zoe Pappas is negotiating with the alien Asi when the enemy Hajim attack and seize her command ship. Taken to a prison planet where humans uneasily coexist with other species, Zoe finds that the human leader, the physically imposing Brig. Gen. Matthias Raven, refuses to allow any escape attempts. Disguised as a navy lieutenant, Zoe attempts to navigate the prison's unfamiliar system and her attraction to Matthias while hiding her powers and guarding a dangerous secret. When an unexpected threat closes in, they must join forces to save all the prisoners. Though technically a stand-alone, this tale will appeal most to Primes readers tickled by the idea of Sizemore writing her own fanfic.
