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

Alessandro tucked a dark strand of hair behind Maria's ear. This woman was more than he'd ever wanted. 


Maria looked up at him, shying away slightly under his intent gaze. Gods, he could stare into those bright eyes until they fully enveloped him. He pulled her into his mouth, kissing her with all his desire and hunger for her. 


His body should have become fully absorbed in this sensation of longing, but once again, the slightest feeling of weakness crept upon him. Not in the romantic way that should have ensued as he held her firm body against his, but an actual physical weight that pulled him down.
