Half-Moon Rising

The vivid intensity of A Discovery of Witches meets the small-town vibe of Virgin River in this paranormal romance about two strangers bound together forever. Rejected by his own people in Transylvania, Old-World vampire Vasile Laz¿r is given a chance to remake himself within a hidden community of Vârcolac. But he struggles to fit in with a modern culture and unfamiliar language, and he's nearly overcome by the awakening of a searing hunger for one special woman. Cut off from the mating urge by his old masters, Vasile never had much interest in females. Now he'll push himself past every limit to earn the love of a softhearted Dragon woman. Orphaned as a baby, idealistic lawyer Corky Disdale yearns for a family, but she always blows it by picking the wrong men. And now she's doing it again. The towering, somber Vasile, although kind, meets all her criteria for a typical Man Mistake. Then one night a gang of murderous witches tries to abduct Corky for a secret she unknowingly carries, and Vasile nearly dies protecting her...but his rash actions end up trapping Corky in her worst nightmare. With any chance of happiness drifting farther out of reach, Vasile fights to connect with Corky, to prove his devotion even if he doesn't have the words. But will his unique style of caring be enough to give them a fresh start before old threats rip them apart...? HALF-MOON RISING is a slow-burn romance full of passion, tears, laughter, and all your favorite characters from The Community Series.
