Part of Celestial Witches
First published 2025
A disastrous date with a wolf shifter leaves our witch protagonist drenched in vampire blood and facing murder charges. The poor choices that led to this mess now force her into an impossible decision: become the personal witch for Warin Auclair, one of Louisiana's most formidable vampires, or answer to the vampire council. She chooses Warin, despite his manipulative nature and cutting remarks. The arrangement should be simple business, but danger follows them everywhere. Vampire slayers hunt them while buried secrets threaten to surface. Warin proves surprisingly reliable, keeping his word about her protection and revealing glimpses of his true self beneath the scheming exterior. The witch finds herself drawn to him against all logic. He belongs to the immortal world while she remains loyal to her coven. The fundamental incompatibility of vampires and witches makes any real connection seem doomed. Yet she craves his bite and dreams of never letting go.
