Created in Darkness and born of Death, three brothers carry a deadly secret. One lethal enough to make the dead outnumber the living. Necromancer. Biohazard. Zombie. The abomination inside Bastian Hale demanded constant payment—fresh blood. Without it, he’d rot from the inside out and become little more than a mindless monster. Some called him a living vampire—others considered him contaminated. One woman would call him hers. Morgan Cross never understood the innate necromancer power running through her veins or why ghosts and zombies sought to ruin her life. When someone’s deadly obsession throws her into Bastian’s arms, their pasts come back to haunt them and she must avoid the one thing she was born to do—claim him as her own.

Jolie Dupree is prophesied to bring an end to the deadly war waging between the vampires and the Seelie court. Groomed from birth by a vicious mother, Jolie knows her future can only end in blood--and the murder of the one man she can't resist. Consumed with guilt, Jolie can't fight the lure of Nicolas Larkin, the vampire king. She returns to him over and over, every caress of pain and every stroke of pleasure drawing her deeper into the darkness. She must decide between the concrete and the chaos, the light and the dark, for her choice will tip the scales between good and evil, and quite possibly cost Jolie her soul.A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora's CavePublisher's Note: This book was previously published as Pain and Pleasure.

Claiming Ecstasy was everything I love about the genre: dark, dangerous, sexy, and the fight for survival against a predator who could take everything, but give you so much more in return. Another incredible winner." -- USA Today bestselling author Dawn Montgomery
