I'm Adele, a human new to Chicago. Tottering on the brink of bankruptcy, I desperately need a job with Knight Industries, owned by rich vampire and city master Damien Knight. So when a not-quite-aboveboard invite for a party at Knight’s place comes from my best friend, I jump on it.

At the party, a dark, mysterious vampire catches me in a fib, making my stomach flip. He’s about to throw me out, but with nothing to lose I steel my nerves and ask him for a tour of Knight’s business first. To my utter shock, he agrees and takes me away from the noise of the party. On the plus side, I'll get to see KI and maybe learn enough to get my coveted job. On the minus, I'm all alone with a dangerous predator, and he’s looking intently at my neck…

And when I find out who my tour guide really is, it leads to a whole lot more than I bargained for…

Vignette: a short, delicately memorable scene.

Vampire Vignettes. Short. Scintillating. First, exciting meets between an apex master vampire and the human woman who lights his life for the first time in centuries. Each story features a vampire master of the city and the woman who charms (or fights or snarks) her way into his life.
