Modern dating is a wasteland. But for Imani, the real monsters aren’t ghosters—they’re vampires.
Imani, a brilliant but disillusioned Atlanta librarian, is done with the beige landscape of modern romance. Seeking a spark, she swipes right on Nocturne Souls, a gothic dating app promising connection “for those who embrace the darkness.” She finds Dorian Blackwood: poetic, ancient, and chillingly seductive.
But the old-world charm masks a predatory truth. Dorian isn’t an eccentric; he’s a vampire. When the fantasy turns into a hunt, Imani’s pragmatic mind must shatter her own romantic delusions to survive.
Just as she escapes the velvet trap, she runs into Marcus: a scarred, rugged hunter who’s been tracking the app’s predators for years. He sees the “fighter” beneath her librarian exterior and offers her a new kind of partnership.
From the fog-shrouded graveyards of Savannah to the neon-drenched clubs of Miami and the historic shadows of New Orleans, Imani and Marcus launch The Final Chapter: an elite hunting duo clearing the servers one monster at a time.
But their burgeoning love connection is tested when Imani discovers Marcus’s own terrifying secret: a past bite has left him halfway between human and monster, his humanity contained only by a dangerous, unstable chemical formula.
CRIMSON KISSES is a gripping, high-octane gothic romance thriller novella that asks: Is a love forged in blood and betrayal strong enough to survive the ultimate darkness?
