No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Valerie Dearborn wants a cotton candy life, but itβs more like a puffer fish: pointy, unusual, andβif not prepared exactly rightβdeadly.
In London for graduate school, Val knows she's finally free. Her father and ex-almost-boyfriend are back in California and she's out of the Vampire hunting biz for good. Or is she?
She draws the attention of Lucas, a 1600 year old Vampire, and King to his kind. Heβs also wicked hot. As golden as Lucifer, and just as tempting, he makes Valerie an offer she can't refuseβ help him find out if the Others (Empaths, Fey and Werewolves) still exist or he'll stop protecting those she loves.
Lucas tells her that Empaths were a Vampireβs biggest weakness before going extinct hundreds of years ago. While the Fey or a Werewolf might kill a Vampire, an Empath could enslave them, seducing or harming with emotions at will. The one detail he leaves out? Valerie is an Empath.
And after 1600 years of an emotionless existence, Lucas wants Valerie like a recovering alcoholic wants a wine cooler.
Can she keep those she loves alive, stop Lucas from munching on her, survive a fanged revolution and still find a way to have that boring, normal life sheβs always wanted? Probably not, but boy is she gonna try!
This is a full length novel and contains adult content.
