How this story came to be... One of the scenes of my first novel CheckMate takes place in the club "On The Edge", which I described as a place where humans and vampires meet. On a whim, I also added a throwaway sentence about the owner of the club living with two vampires. Or at least, I thought it was a throwaway line. But it nagged me and bugged me for months until I finally sat down to figure out who was this club owner, and who were the two vampires who shared his life and bed. The characters of Brett and Lisa were the first to take form, and I started writing how they came together, but that just didn't feel right. I meant to tell the story of three lovers. Where was the third, and who was s/he? By looking back further into Lisa's past, I finally found Leo, and figured out how he had reentered her life and become a part of Brett's at the same time. On The Edge shows the first night the three of them spend together... but of course that wasn't enough, and I had to come back to these characters in another book and tell about the morning after.
