    Summary

    When one soulmate sleeps and the other is awake, their bond allows them to see through each other’s eyes.

    Rio Vidal has spent years dreaming about someone else’s life. A cigarette at midnight. A party where she sits alone. Sharing kisses and touches with a parade of women who annoyingly aren't her.

    Meanwhile, Agatha is tired of dreaming of nothing but blood.

    Summary

    Agatha Harkness is a tenured academic with a sharp tongue, a grueling syllabus, and a reputation to maintain.

    Her ex returns to campus as a visiting scholar. With her crooked smile, an infuriatingly charming teaching style, and lectures that summon applause.

    Their offices share a wall. Their past shares something messier.

    And if their students are right, they’re definitely not over each other.

    Summary

    “You’re the vampire?” this strange beautiful woman asks. “No way.”

    “I mean…” Rio says. She isn’t in the habit of introducing herself like hello townsfolk, it’s me, the vampire that has outlasted so many generations of your tiny little families. But this is kind of an unorthodox situation. “Yes.”

    The woman’s smile grows even wider, like she may sprout fangs herself. The body of presumably her mother falls from her grip, so she can cross her arms and appraise Rio.

    “The legends truly don’t do you justice,” she says.

    __

    The lonely vampire meets a cunning mortal over a dead body, and well, the inevitable happens.

    Summary

    Rio Vidal is a part-time journalist, full-time cryptid hunter, and unapologetic believer in things that go bump in the night. When she’s sent to profile the reclusive new owner of the Harkness Estate, she expects velvet curtains and perhaps a mild haunting. All part of the job.

    She finds Agatha Harkness—a centuries-old, unrepentant, and alarmingly forward vampire.

    They thirst for answers. And share a taste for blood.

    Summary

    Agatha leans in towards Rio, all attention on her, “I told them I’m going on a date tonight—”

    “Ah, so there’s the line. You know, if you wanted to take me out, you could’ve just asked.”

    Agatha glares at Rio for her stupid joke, “No need for all the excess—a photo of you will do, just so they know when I come home that I could date if I wanted to.”

    “So you want a picture of me to convince everyone back home that you’re going on a date… instead of just going on a date?”

    Agatha clicks and points at Rio, “Now you’re getting it.”

    OR

    Agatha needs to convince her son and her friends that she’s having the whirlwind vacation romance of a lifetime. Probably so they don’t think she’ll die alone. That’s where Rio (who she knows absolutely nothing about) comes in.
