Publisher Description

Emma got the house in the divorce. She didn’t know it came with a sleeping vampire.

Emma looks forward to the biggest challenge of her career as an art conservator - restoring her newly acquired shabby Victorian home to its former glory. She didn’t plan on the upgrades including a panicked vampire in her attic. The bite on her neck proves he’s a danger, but she can’t stop thinking about how good it made her feel.

Micah’s not sure who’s the bigger threat - his sire or the woman trying to stake him with an umbrella.

Micah only planned to sleep for fifty years to break the mental bond with the abusive vampire who sired him. Instead, he was unconscious for over a century and woke to a changed world. Giant crafts speed through the sky, buildings stretch to the clouds, and a strange woman is living in his home. His mortal friend is long dead and his connection to his sire is still intact. It’s only a matter of time before Vanessa finds Micah.

Can Emma help him navigate this modern age while Micah attempts to break his bond?
