Rubies & Promises

Cities are always full of secrets. The interesting part comes when the truth is unburied. Kenneth, a vampire from the older years of bootlegging and Prohibition, knows how dangerous secrets can be. After all, the Blue Flame Massacre (an ambush and murder of eleven politically powerful vampires and humans) was obviously his fault for leaking secrets to the wrong people.

Ostracized and untrusted, Kenneth spends his days clinging onto the only home he's ever known and the only friend who's stuck by his side. It's a rock-solid romance that's survived decades.

Jasper is a living statue, which means he sits watch at night and helps during fires, but since the day he met Kenneth, he's felt it's his job in life to protect the vampire from others and especially from himself. The grayscale gargoyle worries about his lover, so when the vampire instantly falls for Violet, the only human who's been nice to him, Jasper's already checking to see what she's hiding and wondering how many pieces Kenneth will be left in.

But will they survive what Violet finds in an antique desk? A hidden picture. A truth uncovered. And all hell breaks loose. Kenneth will have to choose between living in the past with Jasper, or saving a future with Violet… but if he can hit on all six, there might be a pleasurable present with both of them.
