Unlike his parents and his twin Seamus, Ian O’Donnell is not a good witch. Or rather, he isn’t quite good at it. Studying charts and remembering candles hasn’t ever really been his thing. Still, he longs to see the mystical sites of the world, especially the Great Pyramids of Giza. When Ian finally reaches them, though, he finds himself more attracted to the sexy man who works the night shift at his hotel than he does the pyramids.<br><br>Ian’s able to convince Khnurn to take him to the desert for a romantic evening in front of the pyramids. Everything’s going great until Khnurn gets serious. He tells Ian he’s a vampire and they’ve known each other before. Unfortunately, Ian can’t recall ever having been in a serious relationship in this life, or any other, and he isn’t quite sure Khnurn isn’t just feeding him pick-up lines. When Khnurn leaves Ian alone to think about things, another man appears in Ian’s life, a crazy-looking spectre that might just be the Angel of Death.<br><br>Ian soon finds himself hightailing it back to Massachusetts just in time for Halloween with his wonderfully animated witch family and their coven. Unfortunately, it isn’t souvenirs Ian’s brought back with him, but rather the creepy spectre from the desert, and maybe a sexy vampire who might just be the love of his life.

Reap This Too

“No worries. It happens all the time,” Khnurn said, his voice a little deflated. “There are people like me who are vicious, downright evil. We don’t allow those people to do such things anymore though. That kind of behavior would get us all killed, and so we stop people who do things like that. We have a code, and people who don’t follow it, jeopardize us all, so we handle them.”


“That makes sense,” Ian said. “Again, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make assumptions about you. You seem to have a lot more honor than most people I know.”


Khnurn suddenly reached over and kissed Ian. This time, it was passionate and eager. Ian could feel the warmth inside it, and something a little unbridled. After a moment, Ian pulled back.


“It’s been a long time since anyone’s called me honorable,” Khnurn said, almost shyly, as he turned his face down and focused his attentions on Ian’s neck again.


Ian practically jumped at the sensation.
