After my husband left, all I wanted was to find myself again. Turns out that’s a lot easier said than done when my chronic pain has me canceling plans and everything I try reminds me of my inadequacies.
Things only get worse when my attempt at exploring submission is a total disaster. But hope comes in the form of my stoic, stunning vampire friend, Blair. She offers to teach me, giving me a space to safely explore a side of myself I’ve kept locked away.
It’s meant to be platonic. Just one friend helping another. So then why can’t I stop imagining what it would be like to take things further?
A vampire losing control…
I’ve spent the past ten years building a life where I’m in control. I swore I’d never go back to being the pathetic, emotional girl I was before I was turned.
Then Grace showed up.
I knew from the moment we met she’d be a problem. My monster craves her in a way that terrifies me, and her humor and beauty pierce through the cracks in my carefully crafted, cold facade. Yet keeping my distance would ruin one of the few friendships I have.
How do I shore up the crumbling barriers around my heart before I end up more broken and alone than I was the night I became a vampire?
Afterglow is a spicy, slow burn sapphic romance featuring a jaded, lonely vampire FMC and a bubbly, anxious human FMC.
Afterglow is Book 2 in the Monsters of Moonvale series, however, it can be read as a standalone.
