Blurb:
A Victorian-era vampire living in the modern world, Emigh
Bennett’s favorite activity is watching people from the window of her little
bookshop. When she spots a woman nearly killed on the street outside her shop,
she rushes to her rescue, and she meets Anise.
The proprietress of a little home business called
“Everything Anise,” Anise crafts one-of-a-kind perfumes all with a touch of her
namesake spice, all with the power to intoxicate and delight the senses. She is
smart, sexy, beautiful, and happens to be a little bit different.
Although Anise is everything Emigh could ever ask for and
more, she can’t quite figure her out. Anise possesses the duality of an
innocent angel and a vivacious vixen. Even if Emigh can ever peel away the
multi layers of Anise to uncover the truth beneath, what will happen when she
finally reveals the truth about herself?

Excerpt:
For the first time in…hell, it must be years, Emigh’s life
felt bright and vibrant. Meeting Anise was the dawning of a new day. The lift
she’d needed for so long.
She dared to pick up the
phone that first night and call Anise. To hear that special kind of something
in her voice as they spoke. To talk about everything and anything…well, not
everything. She didn’t broach the subject of her sexuality—maybe not hers, but
Anise’s. As a matter of fact, Anise mentioned neither male nor female friends.
Anise spoke of her
passion for crafting corsets and perfume. She loved to bake. She was estranged
from her family. They didn’t understand that she didn’t want to work a boring
nine-to-five job, train into the city, train home again at night, exhausted.
They thought she was wasting her life away, and because she wouldn’t come
around to their strict way of thinking and living, she walked away from them.
Emigh admired her spunk
and dedication. Smart, sweet, articulate, and she made her laugh, which was a
tough thing to do. Anise was definitely a rare breed of woman.
But how long could it last?
She couldn’t tell Anise
she was a vampire, let alone that she would never die.
Vampire.
How she hated the word!
But until someone came up with a better one, she was stuck with it.
Of course, Anise would
never believe her. No one did. Every once in a while some beautiful woman would
come along, and their connection would be instantaneous…sizzling. Emigh would
find herself whispering the truth to her beloved. Inevitably, the not-so-twin
flame would beat a hasty retreat, believing Emigh was crazy, or a liar…or both.
Crazy
and liar are never good things in a relationship.
