For the first time in a really long time, I’ve got a boyfriend—Dr. Henry Jekyll. And he’s everything you’d want a boyfriend to be—charming, sweet, loyal. Only problem is, I can’t be left alone with him. Yeah, you read that right. Ever since I agreed to becoming a full-time employee of the Holmwood Association (that apprehends monsters), I’m being kept under lock and key. If I’m allowed outside the compound, it has to be with a chaperone—all owing to the fact that I’m half vampire.

Fifi’s family, led by her incubus brother, Angelo, are trying to kidnap her, wanting to ensure she fulfills the succubus credo—seduce and reduce—a.k.a. seduce men and reduce their energy by siphoning it from them. Fifi, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with her succubus nature and wants to divorce herself from it permanently—so she’s finally able to find true love.

It seemed an impossible dream...right up until it happened. Well, sort of. Normality is a relative thing for an immortal former vampire.

Master Nicolo, a man also known as ‘The Terrible,’ lives up to his title and then some.

Throw in the fact that the man can fight like no other and seems to have a preternatural knowledge for detecting those who want to kill him, he’s a formidable foe and then some. But Nicolo didn’t always live such a favored life.

What I’m not planning on, however, is that the little cottage I’ve moved into, called Bluebells, is haunted!
