"Master of Madhouse" Backcopy
Determined to escape her destiny as host to the beautiful, but blood-sucking Vampire, Scarlett, Rachel regains control from her possessor. But wielding Scarlett's demon-magic proves too tempting, and Rachel accidentally launches herself headlong into another century, and into the arms of Gräfen, Lord of the Vampires.
Trapped in a century out of history, held prisoner in a Gothic mansion, and surrounded by a bedlam of servants, Rachel suffers Gräfen's gas-lighting torments and Dracula seductions until her will begins to weaken. Though Gräfen is cruel and arrogant, Rachel's lifelong dysfunction is serving his game. And as Rachel and Gräfen begin to connect on a deeper, darker level, Scarlett grows green with envy.

Excerpt(s) from "Master of Madhouse" below.
This time, I didn’t dive down into my hiding place to think my secret thoughts. This time I stayed and saw everything Scarlett saw, felt everything Scarlett felt. And I wish I hadn’t, because I’ll never know a love like she experienced in that man’s arms.
He was watching her watch him, not making a move, except for the slight shifting of a toothpick sticking out between his lips above his too-square jaw. He coaxed it to the other side of his mouth with his tongue, catching my attention with the invitation. Scarlett kept her focus on his eyes, and I kept mine on the toothpick, knowing each dip of the wood was created by a nibbling of teeth behind his lips.
Some men held strong in their belief of a higher order, a judgement reigning from the heavens with love and forgiveness. Some men followed the Bible’s guidance in what was right and what was wrong. Some men were less easily tempted from the path and this was the kind of man Edward was.
He loved me? Why was he giving up? I let go of his hand, grabbed his shirt and gave him a good shake, causing the couch springs to squeak. “Snap out of it! No one loves a martyr!”
“Silly Rachel.” Scarlett sounded so far away, far from the pounding drums in my head. “Still caring for those who destroyed you?”
“Ye have loved me, lass. Now let me go,” he whispered. “Don’t flatter yourself, Highlander,” I managed to rasp through a tight throat. “I love myself more.”
I glanced at the marble statues, their bowed backs and bent knees, and found my answer. Grinding my molars together, I straightened my back, clicked my heels, and bent my arm across my stomach. Then, I gifted Scarlett with a little bow. This wasn’t proper etiquette, of course. I should have curtsied, but with the release of my memories, I was beginning to recall Scarlett’s rules. In this place, I was required to be the male so that Scarlett would face no other competition.
