His Crimson Mask

Homicide Detective Ayameko Shi is used to keeping people at a distance unless you count the ghosts that have plagued her since she was a child. As a necromancer, Meko has grown used to being unwanted, unloved and hated by all beings, especially vampires. Except there’s one vampire who Meko is drawn to, like a moth to a blazing flame. One whose moves she’s constantly watching, with and without his consent.

Vampire King Nikolai is used to his name striking fear in anyone around him. As a man that’s been around for centuries, he solves all his problems with bloody deaths. Killing someone in his way is the norm for this king. Recently, two issues have plagued his mind, twisting his thoughts until a plan forms inside his deranged head.

Over the last year, vampires have been disappearing all over the city of the undead, Deadstown. If they were killed, he would have found their remains by now. Or as the master vampire, he would have felt their ultimate death, except it’s been nothing but crickets. His second problem is short, irritating, beautiful and can raise the dead. Nikolai has always believed that ‘the only good necromancer is a dead one.’ And yet he can’t deny that Meko intrigues him.

When Nikolai makes Meko an offer she can’t quite refuse, she finds herself whisked away to another city and living another life. Only this time as his fiancée.

Can a necromancer and a vampire find the missing vampires in a city full of the dead? Or will the vampires of Deadstown turn on their future queen?

Halloween

You’re cordially invited to the wedding of the millennia.

On All Hallows Eve, the Red King and the Gray Queen will unite in matrimony, tying vampires and necromancers forever.

Necromancer Ayameko Shi has never been in a situation like this before. How could a man anticipate her needs before she does? How did someone like him find a person like her? Never in Meko’s wildest dreams did she picture a man like him. One that protects her with his life, killing anyone in the way. After all the years of horror she’s lived, why would someone care for her enough to risk death? 

Is this love? Maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t. Whatever she feels, she refuses to acknowledge it unless he says it first.

The “he” in question never wants her to submit—not to him or anyone.

Violent.

Bloodthirsty.

Certifiable.

Vampire King Nikolai is a devil in a three-piece suit. A murderous conversationalist. A borderline psychopath with feelings. A man who uses his hands in more ways than one.

Ayameko is his. She has been since the moment they met.

Yet a clown, a period, an underground venue, a pumpkin king, an assassin and another surprise pregnancy threaten to ruin Ayameko’s special day. That’s if she even decides to go through with it. When the wedding bells ring, will Ayameko walk or be dragged down the aisle?

No matter what happens, one thing is certain. 

There will be blood.
