Laura Trescothick is a vampire who writes cozy mysteries as Sonya Parkes. She just went indie after decades with a single publisher, but the creative control that comes with independence leaves her with little time to meet new people. With the release of her newest novel, Queen of Bleeding Hearts, she's set up for a book signing at a local, independent bookstore run by her ex-girlfriend.

Ali Hopkins comes from a long line of witch and monster hunters, a legacy she wants no part of. Cursed by a witch to transform into a beast that will stalk and kill her family on the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday. With two weeks before the fated event, she learns of an elixir that might break the curse and make her family proud of her. But there's a catch! The one man who claims to know the formula demands Ali kill a vampire for him.

When Laura and Ali accidentally bump into each other at the Sonya Parkes book signing, books and sparks fly. But when each learns the other's identity, will Laura see Ali as anything beyond a threat? Will her feelings even matter to Ali once she learns of Laura's true nature?
