He spoiled Iona like a daughter and more, even if she called his wife her Ma while calling him Uncle Ian for years to his face. He was more than satisfied being Uncle Ian. To be her Pa, though?
After their powers vanished, Ian and Nephtyri settled on an island off the shores of America, a place they thought was safe from all others. There they could walk freely among their family of merna parents—where all of them helped raise the next generation.
Despite precautions, their safety is jeopardized, not by hunters or thieves, but by disease. One of their adult children in particular, they worry about… their adopted human niece, Iona.
The spitting image of her deceased mother, Anna Corina, the lovely lass holds the hearts of all the family, but especially Ian, who misses his sister immensely. As a vampire, he promised to only Turn Iona if it was absolutely necessary and if his niece wanted it.
What will happen if yellow fever comes to their side of the island? Will Iona ask for the merna gift? Will Ian be able to give the gift—for he has never Turned anyone?
****
In Daughter Forever, Ian and Iona find a bridge of connections between the old world and the new life of this family of not-so-magical immortals. This bridge binds their fate and blood together for eternity. Mirroring Nephtyri's novella, Pearl and Gold, this novella combines paranormal romance with historical and urban fantasy, giving readers a warm, multi-faceted tale about family to enjoy.
