The Duke of the Damned is dead. When my coven is blamed for his murder, I’m desperate to clear their name before my sisters are arrested and I lose the only family I’ve ever known. But I only have one week to find the culprit, and the new heir to the duchy is none other than Detective Liam Rorick, my enigmatic ex-partner and archenemy.

It doesn’t matter if Rorick is a competent investigator. He’s the most cantankerous vampire I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing. There’s a reason I swore I’d never work with him again.

And yet that’s exactly what I have to do.

Now we’re trapped together in the malevolent castle he’s just inherited, trading insults and fighting magical monsters to survive. I want nothing more than to go back to pretending he doesn’t exist . . . but Rorick protects me like I’m precious and keeps looking at me like he regrets our past.

With each close call and each revealed clue, it becomes harder to fight our undeniable connection. But even the castle’s hungriest creatures aren't as frightening as opening my heart to the one man capable of devouring it whole.


The circus is terrifying, and I especially want to know what's going on with this circus. Mostly because this very powerful witch and vampire both seem pretty scared of it and like....spooky!

But that's the next book in the series, or at least I hope it is. In this book, it's a Fun House of Horrors that is scaring them. And it was a pretty scary house. But they were adorable. This uber polite vampire and super independent witch. They make a great team, all things considered. Especially when they actually start working together, not fighting against each other. Or avoiding one another because they're embarrassed. But then again, sexual attraction is very embarrassing, specifically when you believe that it is unrequited!

Liam's uncle/cousin/whatever was a big ol' butthead. And I know that we haven't even really scratched the surface at what he did to mess with Liam's life. But I look forward to finding out at the circus.
