This is the story of my
heroine Jessica Stone as she struggles with being in love with a vampire, while
having sexual feelings towards his identical twin brother who is a werewolf. To
further complicate things, Jessica discovers she is a witch, and since she was
orphaned at a young age, she had no family to guide her into her heritage.
Things kick off with the aid of her newly discovered non-human friends, and her
easy life spirals out of control.
Words from the Author
I have always been fascinated
by the vampire myth and wrote my dissertation on vampires for my university
degree. Contrary to popular folklore, I have always viewed vampires as a
romantic and misunderstood creature, although I do not doubt their ability to
kill and destroy. To me they represent the primitive, dangerous part of
ourselves that humans prefer to ignore.
