First published 2003
Kate C. Leever has just landed the assignment that could make her career at Roundhouse Publishing. She needs to drag bestselling paranormal romance author Lucern out of his shell and into the spotlight at romance conventions. The plan seems simple enough until she meets him. Lucern despises crowds and public appearances. He vanishes without warning, displays superhuman strength, and refuses to eat anything with garlic. Kate assumes he's just another difficult writer taking his vampire novels too seriously. She has no idea that Lucern actually is a centuries-old vampire who has been writing his family's true history, not fiction. As Kate pushes Lucern toward fame and fan meet-and-greets, their professional relationship turns personal. But can a mortal editor and an immortal vampire find common ground between his need for secrecy and her drive for success?
