L. E. Scott Writes

Meet Sangue Gustare. He's just your average vampire. Sired in Italy around 1500, he floats through the ages refining his palate. He's discovering that human emotions are what give the taste to blood and he doesn't like the negative ones at all. In fact, the one emotion he loves best is lust. Could there be another flavor he'll find that he likes even more?

Benigo Alfonzi was just an average cobbler when he first met Sangue, but after Sangue seduced him he learned that he could greet death on his own terms and in the best way. Now each of his reincarnations seeks Sangue once death is imminent and Sangue is more than happy to oblige, until he learns that love may be worth more than a good meal.

According to Sangue's own sire Ladra, there are three elements required to turn someone: the subject must be at death's door, the subject must be willing, and the subject must drink the blood of a vampire. Everything is ready. However, when the ritual heals Benigo of his illness instead of turning him, Benigo wants to use this information to cure others who live with the disease despite the fact that doing so will come at great risk both to him and to his lover.
