    About this ebook

    In this series finale of Craig Jones's vampire short story saga, as Gem battles her sire for possession of the pendant, she accidentally shoots Katrina through the chest. To complicate matters, New York City is under siege. British drug lords are taking over Bradley's empire. When he seeks Gem's help and protection, he inadvertently puts her family in grave danger. With her professional and personal lives on a collision course, she doesn't get mad. She gets even. And in the process, she loses something she may never get back...her immortal beauty.

    Craig Jones

    Originally from South Wales, I have held a wide range of jobs from tennis player to gym manager to health service worker. I turned 40 in October, am married to Claire, and we have an insane ginger cat called Wookie. I went to school with Catherine Zeta-Jones, have played tennis with Jamie Redknapp, and coached Great Britain’s first ever World Number One tennis player. I have always loved horror stories, having grown up with Jason Voorhees and his slasher friends, and I love writing them even more. The thought of taking normal people and putting them in terrifying situations gives me a fantastic buzz. I hope to convey that buzz to my readers in every story I write.

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
