The Complete Ellie Gray Chronicles: Drain Me & Chain Me (The Ellie Gray Chronicles)

Book excerpt: "Red coated his lips, vibrant against that ivory skin. He was the devil incarnate, dressed impeccably in Armani, and I had never seen a sight more terrifying." Drain Me: When diagnosed with a fatal illness at the age of twenty six, Eleanor Gray is resigned to her fate—at least until the enigmatic Dublin Helos appears and makes her an offer she knows she should refuse: Life or Death? With a decision as harmless as checking the wrong box on a mysterious questionnaire, Ellie is plunged into a dangerous world where souls are sold to the highest bidder and pleasure is fueled by pain. The rules of this new life are simple: submit everything—mind, body and soul. But the further Ellie falls under Dublin’s control, the more she comes to realize that it’s not just her sanity at stake, but her heart and a whole lot of blood too. Chain Me: Once again resigned to her fate as a spinster, Eleanor is unhappily alone — until Dublin Helos reappears on her doorstep with an offer she can’t refuse. This time, the stakes are higher than ever, and as the true extent of Dublin’s deception is revealed, Eleanor is forced to choose between trusting the one man she should fear above all else — or risk losing her soul, and heart, in the process. But what’s a little blood between lovers?
