ONE
Jackie flipped shut the ledger, took the cash and threw it and the paperwork into the safe, then heaved a sigh when the clock chimed eleven at night.
Finished. Finally.
She ran her hand through her hair and crinkled her nose at the texture. "I need a bath," she moaned. Clearly, the charms she'd made to keep her hair in good condition during these twelve hour shifts had failed, and now she was in desperate need of a soak.
There would be no time for that when she got home since her mother put her on the morning shift.
Pat, Jackie’s mother, the proud owner of Patty’s Potions N’ More, treated her business like a favorite third daughter. So when Pat was too sick to come into work herself, Jackie needed to pull double hours to keep the place running smoothly, regardless of how much sleep she lost.
Jackie would have to settle for a quickie shower, go to sleep, get up, and do her day all over.
She looked out the shop window, cotton ball snowflakes raced to the ground with the wind. The vision was like out of Star Trek after the ship went into warp speed and the stars flew by.
It hadn’t been doing that a few minutes ago.
She had to walk in that?
She snatched the remote to flick off the little TV behind the counter. The voices in the black box weren’t soothing anymore and she didn't want to hear them.
“… Allegations of feral vampires in Griffon City.”
Jackie stopped, her finger frozen over the power button.
Feral vampires? One was rare enough but the fact that there could be several made her spine tingle.
“… Griffon City Police are investigating any possible leads, but have not issued a warning to citizens.”

Résumé
With this kiss...
In a city that cannot be found on any map that is inhabited entirely by witches, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves, Kyle McKane is seeking a cure for a curse that turns him into a blood hungry vampire during the night, and leaves him an exhausted, sleep deprived human during the day.
...She will cure him of his curse...
Jackie Moore is probably the worst witch in the city. Apart from her ability to heal wounds and illnesses with a touch of her lips, she has almost no magic inside of her. She rarely sees outsiders and is stunned to come face to teeth with Kyle when he finally succumbs to his vampire hunger for blood and attempts to bite her.
...Whether she wants to or not...
Jackie acts quickly, she grabs him by the ears and kisses away his curse before he can sink his fangs into her, letting her magic flow into him, and banishing his bloodthirsty curse long enough for her to make her escape. The problem is the cure is only temporary until Kyle turns into a vampire again the next night, and then goes out in search of Jackie so that she can cure him again, whether she wants to or not.
A cursed human turned vampire on the run from his blood craving, desperate to hunt down the woman responsible for his new fate, get his revenge in every way possible, and learn how to control the magic that changes him into a monster in the night.
When this alpha predator stumbles across an even better magic, one that seduces him to her without even trying, he might just have to accept this new way of life as his destiny, and learn to live as a vampire forever...
The Vampire's Curse is a sweet, yet sexy paranormal romance, and the first in the Things In the Night Series, filled with paranormal shifters, vampires, werewolves, magic and romance. See below for the entire list in the series.
