Ready to spend her last twenty on something good, she doesn’t expect to be captivated by the handsome bartender. Then his husband shows up

To her shock, these two won’t leave her alone. If she’s being honest, she doesn’t want to be left alone!

Anatoly

As a vampire, Anatoly might be a creature of the night but he’s not interested in the nightlife of San Diego’s Gas Lamp district. Unfortunately Zan, the only member of his beloved flock, adores people and socializing. Incapable of denying Zan anything, Anatoly financed Sanguine, a bar specifically created for magical creatures.

Normally he spends the night lurking in a corner of the bar while Zan flitters between customers, chatting, and skillfully crafting individually tailored cocktails. On one of the rare nights Anatoly is forced to assume Zan’s role as bartender a human woman wanders right past the wards.

She’s a fiery and exquisite creature. He won’t let her get away.

Zan

Returning to his bar after helping a friend, Zan finds his normally grumpy vampire kissing a stranger. At first he’s incensed, then realizes she’s his mate.

The only thing left is to ease her into their world and woo her into their bed!

Deck the Skulls is a holiday novella featuring a human woman with a hard shell hiding her soft center, a powerful vampire determined to claim another member of his flock, and a gregarious mountain lion shifter who simply wants everyone to have a good time…and drink alcohol!
