About the Book

A steamy, slow-burn Victorian Gothic paranormal vampire romance with an alpha vampire, a woman cursed to turn into a swan, and a four-hundred-year-old love.

He’s been searching for her for four centuries, but now she doesn’t remember him.

Matthias Corvinus Andrássy, Count of Bethlen, has been waiting to be reunited with his beloved wife for four hundred years. Years he spent traveling through the world and sucking people’s blood.

He’s always been careful not to kill anyone, but four hundred years are a long time to be good. As the chances of finding his wife shrink and his loneliness grows, he becomes more restless and dangerous. The lines between love and obsession blur, and he doesn’t care about his soul anymore.

Odette has no intention of being anyone’s wife. A curse forces her to turn into a swan during the day—that’s enough for any girl to deal with.

When a man she’s never met before claims to be her four-hundred-year-old husband, she thinks he’s deranged. Were-swans are one thing, but an ancient vampire who expects her to perform her wifely duties is quite another.
How can she find a way to break her curse while rejecting a dangerous, ancient vampire’s advances?

Perfect for Readers Who Love:
– Magic, romance, and mystery in Victorian London
– Troubled vampire turning rogue
– Gothic London and were-swans
– star-crossed lovers in a paranormal setting

Love stories have always captured my imagination. What’s better than two people falling in love with each other? I write steamy romance, usually with a paranormal twist in an historical setting. Add a touch of suspense and mystery and a pinch of darkness.
I love stories with strong, sexy heroes and mischievous heroines who pull no punches.
I live in the City of Sails, New Zealand, drinking tea (coffee gives me anxiety) and devouring books.
