THE PROGENY (The Progeny Series #1)
“No fate other than the one I
choose.”
The timeless creed and tattoo bore by the Rousseaus— a vampire clan with
the purest bloodline of any vampire family. Out of this clandestine group came
one who was different, yet the same: Ascher, a half-bloodling— half- human,
half vampire.
Ascher questions the purpose for his existence and which world he truly belongs to: the human world or the vampire world. Two months from sealing to Ursula—a prearranged union to a woman he abhors —he’s at his wit’s end. He knows if he calls off the sealing, the Romanian clan will strike with deadly force, but he cannot see eternity with a cold empty shell of a woman like Ursula.
Just when he thought life was complicated enough, he meets Shauna—a beautiful, bi-racial human Wiccan—and immediately develops an unshakable attraction to her. She makes him feel alive and vital despite his origins and Ascher makes a decision that turns his immortal world upside down.
About The Progeny Series
At its core, The Progeny Series is simply about a man and woman who fall in
love. The fact that he’s a half-blood (half-human, half vampire) and she’s a
Wiccan human are secondary factors. This series encompasses a family dynamic of
which we’ve never seen.
The Rousseaus share a common mortal and immortal bloodline, but loyalty is
the thread binding this vampire clan. Shauna and Ascher’s dissuaded love only
strengthens the family bonds. Their unique union transcends bloodlines and
completes the prophecy, defying the beliefs of centuries old covenants while
shattering the wall between the Wiccan and vampire worlds that have existed for
ages.
This series is erotic paranormal romance intended for adults and contains
strong sexual content, adult sensuality, language and themes.
About the Author
Ashlynne Laynne is an award winning songwriter, poet, and author of erotic
paranormal and contemporary romance. She’s always had a soft spot in her heart
for vampires but grew tired of the garlic fearing, sun-loathing night stalkers
of old. An avid horror movie fan, she tends to enjoy media and music of a
younger, more eclectic nature. This was the catalyst for her writing The
Progeny.
Ashlynne loves writing on the edge—combining the erotica and romance
genres—and thinks of Ascher and Shauna as the wicked, damned version of Romeo
and Juliet. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time
with her family. She juggles the hats of wife, mother, full time employee and
part-time writer, hoping to write exclusively one day soon.
She lives in the Carolinas with her husband and son.
