Someday My Count Will Come

Blood may be thicker than water — but family is where you make it.

Penny is just trying to find her missing sister when she stumbles into an Orlando nightclub run by immortals.

Dare is a three-thousand-year-old Night Elf (please don't call him a vampire!) cursed to police his own kind — and slowly dying because of it.

When Penny and Dare cross paths, neither is looking for love. What they find instead is something far rarer: an ally they can trust.

Hunted by Night Elves, chased by ancient laws, and racing the sunrise itself, the two form an unlikely partnership — a mortal woman armed with stubborn courage and a weary immortal who’s forgotten how to hope.

Sometimes the person who saves you isn’t your soulmate.

Sometimes it’s just the friend you need.

Someday My Count Will Come is a fast-paced urban fantasy novella featuring found family, gallows humor, supernatural danger, and a strictly platonic partnership between a human woman and a very tired vampire.

No romance.
No love triangle.
Just survival, loyalty — and one very grumpy count.

This story was originally released in an anthology called Vampires of the Caribbean. I heard the name of the anthology, and had to write a story for it, just because I knew Dare would find the Caribbean torture.
