Beneath the glitter of dazzling 19th century London Society lurks a bloodthirsty evil…
Just as Lady Victoria Gardella is preparing for her debut into London Society, she learns the shocking and impossible truth about her family legacy: she is one of the very few who has the power–and responsibility–to hunt and slay the evil vampires that infest the city.
With infinite questions (where will she hide her stake? how will she know a vampire when she encounters one? how will she sneak out at night?), Victoria agrees to shoulder the responsibility and carry the stake–despite the societal restrictions and expectations of her as a female.
But as she moves between the crush of ballrooms and dangerous moonlit streets, juggling the expectations of her mother and the requirements of her obligations, Victoria’s heart is torn between London’s most eligible bachelor, the Marquess of Rockley, and her dark, dangerous duty.
And when she comes face-to-face with the most powerful vampire in history, Victoria must ultimately make a choice between duty and love.

Praise for The Gardella Vampire Hunters Series
“The Rest Falls Away, Gleason’s publishing debut…turns vampire stories–and romances–on their ear with a decidedly dark, decidedly unsentimental Regency heroine who stakes the undead with the best of them.” — Detroit Free Press
“The undead rise to great heights through Gleason’s phenomenal storytelling. She creates a chilling world with the perfect atmosphere of fear and sexual tension.” — Romantic Times
“Gleason keeps upping the ante with each novel, weaving the characters around her readers with each engaging conversation and narrative, every stage set of all the appropriate gothic gloom and melting beauty. — Book Fetish
“…Above all, the writing is what recommends this book most. Gleason’s writing is sharp and taut, which makes for excellent action sequences, and a plot that travels quickly from the start. The writing strength alone gives me ample reassurance that this potentially plot-heavy series is in the right hands. I’m definitely looking forward to the next installment.” – Smart Bitches Love Trashy Books

A woman on a mission....
19th century widow Emily Hawkins is raising her sister’s orphaned children and trying to save their farm, the only home the two kids have ever known, from a greedy banker who wants more than just a mortgage payment. She has until fall to raise a crop, harvest it, sell it, and pay off the loan to get the lecherous man off her back.
“I’ll never be the kind of woman who wears pearls with her apron while cooking meatloaf for her husband. But when I was a kid, my mother, Babs, prepared me to be the next June Cleaver - teaching me lessons that belonged to another era. Another world, practically. My mother’s world. But what can you expect from a woman whose biggest aspiration was to be Cotton Queen? I couldn’t wait to leave home and get away from her. But now, well... let’s just say life hasn’t turned out quite like I’d planned. And heaven help me, I’m going home.” - Laney Hoffman, Cotton Queen, 1975
