(Originally published as Waltz With A Vampire. This version has been pruned, polished and tweaked, and restored to its working title, but the basic plot remains the same.)
EMILY DINWIDDIE, current overseer of the Dinwiddie Society for the Exploration of Matters Abstruse and Supersensible, knows full well that fantastical beings exist. Werewolves. Shapeshifters. Vampires. To her regret, she has not yet been privileged to meet one of these creatures in, as it were, the flesh. However, that is about to change. Will Count Revay-Czobar be a blood-sucking fiend so foul she cannot bear to look at him, let alone ask his help? Will he see her as a tasty tidbit, and force her to defend herself?
VALENTIN LUPESCU, COUNT REVAY-CZOBAR, is not the sort of supersensible being read about in books. No vampir melancholia for Ravensclaw. No regret for past lives, lost loves. His situation suits him well enough, save for his tendency to get bored. When Emily arrives on his doorstep, draped about with every vampire-repelling charm devised by mortal man, he sees in this freckled, bespectacled spinster the source of more potential amusement than he's enjoyed in a score of decades.
She wants him, of course. It is the nature of his kind.
He wants her also. Which is not at all the way these matters generally play out.
A quest. A curse. Passion and perplexities. Mystery, mayhem and madness in the dark street of Regency Edinburgh's Old Town.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
