In this intoxicating Carpathian novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, a woman falls prey to the seductive allure of the past—and a vampire warrior’s intoxicating embrace… The moment Charlotte Vintage walks into his club, Tariq Asenguard’s blood is set on fire. The ancient Carpathian had given up hope of finding his lifemate, but now he will do anything to make Charlotte his own. What Tariq doesn’t know is that Charlotte is using herself and her best friend as bait—to try to draw out the bloodthirsty killers who have already murdered Charlotte’s brother and mentor. Charlotte is familiar with Tariq. Not only is he one of the richest and most eligible bachelors in the city, but he’s also a renowned collector of old carousel horses, which Charlotte restores. Their shared passion opens Charlotte up to trusting him with her life and with the desire she can no longer control. But it also makes her vulnerable to a centuries-old curse that will unite her and Tariq in a war against the enemies of humans and Carpathians alike…

In a perfect world, the carousel of life should be a beautiful thing. It should turn with beauty and grace in peaceful, joyous revolutions. In reality, sometimes, this is just not the case! Regardless of our reaching for happiness, the ride can still grind on, spin uncontrollably, and leave bruises in its wake. Circling Carousels is such a story. In these pages, you will fall in love with Candice and her lovely twin girls, Sienna and Crystal. As the story unfolds, you’ll ride their carousel with them in convoluted circles full of murderous intrigue, life-threatening danger, deceit, not-so-innocent love, hatred, and soul-destroying evil. You will experience their birth and their lives, follow their despair and hope, and long for a happy ending. Their story takes you from the lows of complete poverty and underworld activity, to the heights of riches, which comes at a terrible price. Men will love them, own them, use them, hate them, and sell their very souls. Women will trick them, hurt them, help them, control them, but eventually bring them healing. Sienna and Crystal will be torn from each other in dreadful circumstances. You will be unable to do anything but ride the ever-turning carousel until the final engrossing page.
