A historical romance begins to blossom around Lady Ruby Waterfield, but family secrets and unpredictable suitors expose a world of supernatural creatures—ancient enemies bound by war: vampires and warlocks.
Set in 1811 England, Ruby finally attends her first London Season at the age of eighteen. After departing from her safe, secluded childhood in the country, she quickly discovers that taking her rightful place among the aristocracy is the least of her worries after she becomes the target of a vindictive vampire. Determined to learn the truth about her family bloodlines, this clever debutante must navigate her pursuit while two gentlemen—one, her loyal best friend; the other, a mysteriously handsome stranger—grow increasingly tied to her future. From the dark alleys of Covent Garden to the lavish balls of the high society ton, clandestine agendas leave Ruby's heart exposed to a dangerous new world of mystery, magic, and love.
Ruby is the first novel in the Tree of Blood series that takes root in exposing the origins of supernatural bloodlines.
Ruby unites the seductive and sinister actions of the supernatural with the allure and elegance of a Regency romance.
Let me start off my review with this, if you like historical paranormal romance novels, this book is definitely up your alley, if you don’t or you’ve never given one a chance, I would highly recommend this one. I usually don’t enjoy historical books, as I find some of the wording hard to follow, but this one was written so well, the era didn’t matter. I enjoyed this story and I am certain other who like paranormal romance will too. It was a fast paced book with love, mystery, suspense, and even some funny laugh out loud moments.
Lady Ruby is a young woman who going to finally be “revealed” social elite of London (the “Ton”), by her Grandfather, Lord Caxton. Ruby is very different from the other ladies of the social elite of London; she was raised in the country and likes the simple things in life. In book one you will follow her through her journey to become a Lady and to meet her future husband (at her Grandfathers request). Lady Ruby crosses paths with four men in book one, Gerard Spenser, Nathan Vanderbilt, Mr. Townsend, and her life-long friend and distant cousin Fredrick Ashford. Who will she choose, as everything is not how is seems.
This is an amazing historical paranormal romance, I highly recommend and I will definitely be waiting for book two in the series.

Excerpt:
She opened her eyes to find a strange man above her.
“Ahh,” he sighed. “Your eyes are the color of jade. I imagined them to be dark, like your hair. How strange.”
She continued to stare at him without a word. His figure loomed over her, and he stared at her with large, black eyes, like those of a bird, she thought. His thin, black hair fell past his chin, making him appear delicate, almost beautiful. His lips curved to a smile.
“I find you just as beautiful, my dear,” he said.
His statement shocked her; it was as if he’d read her thoughts.
“Yes, I know what you think presently, but….” He paused for a moment. “Not all of them. You keep something hidden from me. Hmm, how strange. Very well. It seems you are more interesting than I first thought.”
“What is it that you want?” she spat out.
“Oh, please do not start with that nonsense,” he chided. “My plans are not for you to know. However, I will assure you that now I have seen you, I plan to keep you, at least for a while.”
