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

Khnurn sat up and reached for the back pack he had brought. He replaced the oil container and pulled out a small bottle of water and two face cloths. He wet a face cloth and began to clean himself and Ian.


Ian watched as Khnurn cleaned them. There was an intimacy and a level of caring that he wasn’t used to finding with the other people he had dated. Khnurn really was an old-fashioned gentleman.


“So how do you find me each time?” Ian asked, in a tone that was both curious and uncertain.


“I don’t,” Khnurn said. “You find me. I just simply recognize you. I knew it was you somewhere around the time you asked for the private audience with the pyramids. You’re always drawn back here. It’s why I don’t travel until you arrive. We did Boston together. You were from there then. People found out about us though, and we barely escaped with our lives. It was a different time.”


“Do you know when I’m coming?” Ian asked.
