Tall, Dark, and Vampire

by Sara Humphreys

She always knew Fate was cruel…

The last person Olivia expected to turn up at her club was her one true love. It would normally be great to see him‚
except he's been dead for centuries
. Olivia really thought she had moved on with her immortal life‚ but as soon as she sees Doug Paxton‚ she knows she'd rather die than lose him again. And that's a real problem…

But this is beyond the pale…

Doug is a no-nonsense cop by day‚ but his nights are tormented by dreams of a gorgeous redhead who's so much a part of him‚ she seems to be in his blood. When he meets Olivia face-to-face‚ long-buried memories begin to surface. She might be the answer to his prayers…or she might be the death of him.

As always, a big shout-out to my editor, Deb Werksman! Thank you for your support, patience, and understanding. Most of all, I thank you for giving me my first book contract. Many thanks to the rest of the editorial team: Susie, Eliza, Skye, and Cat!

Thank you to Danielle J. for her publicity efforts and the amazing art department at Sourcebooks. I love my covers!!

Big hugs to my agent, Jeanne Dube! As a working mom with four children, you definitely “get me.” Thanks for everything!

Thanks to the various community relations managers at Barnes & Noble who are always willing to have me in for book signings.

I, of course, have to thank my awesome street team gals and guys—Sara's Angels. You are awesome, and I'm so blessed to have you in my corner.

Last, but certainly not least, my biggest shout-out goes to my husband and our four sons. What on earth would I do without all of you? I love you madly.

Sara Humphreys graduated from Marist College with a degree in English literature and theater. She started her career as an actress. Her credits include
Guiding
Light
,
As
the
World
Turns
, and
Rescue
Me
. She specializes in public speaking, presentation development, and communication skills training. But she has loved romance novels and sci-fi/fantasy for years, beginning with
Star
Trek
(she had a huge crush on Captain Kirk). She is now married to her college sweetheart, with whom she has four boys and two “insanely loud” dogs. They live just outside of New York City, a perfect inspiration for things that go bump in the night.

Sara's fascination with sci-fi/fantasy eventually grew into a love for all paranormal creatures, including ghosts, shapeshifters, and the undead. She considers herself a hopeless romantic and a sucker for happy endings.

Sara's first manuscript caught the eye of a major national bookseller, who championed her publishing career. Sara utilizes her acting skills during her writing, using sense-memory recall and creating backgrounds for her characters so they have a history. Even for shapeshifters, she researches the animals and utilizes their natural traits in her characters as they take on their forms.
