Free (Kindle/Kobo/DRM-free) Vulnerable by Amy Lane [LGBT Urban Fantasy w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

Vulnerable by Amy Lane (ISFDB) is the 1st novel in her Little Goddess series of urban fantasy adventures apparently with strong f/m, m/m, and f/m/m romantic elements, starring a young woman in an ordinary small town who discovers a neighbouring hidden world of vampires and elves and some sort of destiny she has to fulfill, as you do, free for a limited time courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Dreamspinner Press' DSP Publications spin-off imprint for their more plot-oriented genre titles where the romantic elements in whatever combinations are not the focus.

This was originally self-published in 2005 via self-publishing repackager iUniverse and and later revised and picked up by DSP. It's apparently being made free to promote the upcoming 9th/part 2nd of the 5th (it looks like each storyarc is split into two novel-length volumes) book, which comes out next week.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians, and DRM-free @ Kobo), and directly from the publisher's webstore (DRM-free ePub & Mobi bundle available worldwide)

Much of the rest of the series, which apparently finds the heroine leading a rather interesting life as she levels up in the paranormal community (spoilers in the story blurbs), is on sale in tiers from $0.99 to $2.99 at multiple retailers (couponable @ Kobo), and here's the DSP catalogue page for the series which shows the discount tiers and the reading order.

Description
Working graveyards in a gas station seems a small price for Cory to pay to get her degree and get the hell out of her tiny town. She's terrified of disappearing into the aimless masses of the lost and the young who haunt her neck of the woods. Until the night she actually stops looking at her books and looks up. What awaits her is a world she has only read about—one filled with fantastical creatures that she's sure she could never be.

And then Adrian walks in, bearing a wealth of pain, an agonizing secret, and a hundred and fifty years with a lover he's afraid she won't understand. In one breathless kiss, her entire understanding of her own worth and destiny is turned completely upside down. When her newfound world explodes into violence and Adrian's lover—and prince—walks into the picture, she's forced to explore feelings and abilities she's never dreamed of. The first thing she discovers is that love doesn't fit into nice neat little boxes. The second thing is that risking your life is nothing compared to facing who you really are—and who you'll kill to protect.
