A cosy paranormal romance featuring a single dad, village politics, a nosy book club, and a rivalry that just might turn into romance – from the author of Fangs for Nothing and A Grave Mistake.

Three things get vampire Augustin Durant’s undead blood boiling: zoning violations, littering on the village green, and Komal Ahuja. And the tension goes both ways: when Augustin takes their rivalry too far, Komal declares she’s running for mayor – against him.

As the pair clash at debates, manage natural disasters, and schmooze the vampire council visiting the village, Augustin realises he’s itching to sink his fangs into Komal for all the wrong reasons. She might be trying to steal the mayoral role from him, but she’s already stolen his heart.

But if he lets Komal get too close, she’ll discover the secret that could destroy him: he has a daughter. A very cute but cheeky ten-year-old vampire, whose life will be in grave danger if anyone finds out she exists.

Augustin won’t let anything happen to her. He needs Komal out of the village, and out of his business, before he falls utterly. The trouble is, she won’t go without a fight.
