Drinking blood sucks.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, obnoxious, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.

Teaser Tuesday – 5/5/20

Hey, everyone!

It’s Tuesday, and if you aren’t heavily involved in the indie author world, you might not yet know why that’s an exciting day, but you’re about to!

Tuesday is the day known as “Teaser Tuesday” and it’s where authors will publish new teasers or sale announcements for their books. You might not know it about me, but I write under a pen name (no, I’m not telling who!), so I’m well aware of how important it is to get the word out about books, so I decided to start a new weekly update. If there are new teasers, I’m going to post them here and, if possible, I’ll link to the book or author so you can find out more. I hope you’re as excited about this as I am – I LOVE teasers!

Without further ado, here are this week’s offerings:

The Hidden Court (PNRU #1) – Dominique Kristine

My Brief Synopsis:
# of Pages (per Amazon): 349

In a world where everyone knows magic, and magical creatures, exist, things are a little different than we see them now. However, before mages, shifters, fae, and vampires can go on to become doctors, lawyers, or teachers, they have to spend four years at a magical university to ensure they can be trusted to use their powers and gifts for good.

The problem? Graduating doesn’t guarantee you won’t turn to the dark later, and once you do, there’s no going back. Nosferatu attacks and murdered magical creatures weren’t what Skylar Corazzi were planning on when she went away to school, and she’s pretty sure there’s something bigger going on around Chicago than they’re being told about. The only problem is no one seems to really want to listen to her suspicions. Other than a super hot raven shifter who’s training in the night class to become a sentinel, a profession Sky finds infinitely more interesting than being a fairy godmother, but isn’t an option open to her.

When Gabriel agrees to help train Sky in martial arts so she can help protect herself from the beings trying to drink her dry, they raise more than eyebrows. Can Gabe and Sky survive the nosferatu, judgmental academic counselors, and Gabe’s mean girl girlfriend? Or will Skylar become another statistic of the ever increasing darkling attacks?
