After moving into a new place for a fresh start, recently graduated nurse, Maria, begins to notice something odd about her neighbor.

Sure, he may work the night shift like her—that would explain his shades being drawn during the day. But his pale skin, sneaky demeanor—oh, and ability to transform into a bat and fly off into the sky… all kind of screams vampire to Maria!

Yet, unlike any bloodsucker she's seen on TV, Maria's neighbor, Alessandro, is more gentle and loving than she thinks her heart can handle. However, Alessandro's past is far from simple, and Maria came to Sedona for a fresh start, not to fall in love with a vampire. Will she be able to handle the dark secrets of his past, or will their relationship fizzle away before it even had a chance to blossom?

THE VAMPIRE NEXT DOOR

If anyone could be allergic to the sun, Savannah wished it could have been her. At least it'd give her an excuse to stay holed up, away from this shiny object of joy, when deep inside, all she wanted to do after work was drink coffee and read.


Savannah avoided the temptation to hiss up at the sun's rays beating down on her Sesame Street scrubs as she walked from the hospital to her car. It'd been another busy night, but the overtime pay was worth the hours of sleep she sacrificed. Plus, the compensation she got from these crazy hours paid for the extra three shots in her daily white mocha latte with oat milk.


As she pushed the takeout bags off the driver's seat so that she could slide into her car, Savannah checked her phone for the thirtieth time. She'd expected to hear from Maria by now. But then again, it was only 9 AM, and she hoped Maria's lack of communication meant that she was now canoodled in the arms of her sexy vampire lover.
