When Love Survives

By Susan Hanniford Crowley

When Love Survives is Book one in the Vampire in Manhattan series.

Regina O'Malley doesn't know she's magic. The letter from her mom had to be a joke, and it comes at the worst time. A finance student from NYU, Regina is late for her internship at a prominent brokerage house at the World Trade Center.

Gregor Vasiliev, shapeshifter and a financial advisor at the World Trade Center, hates the office coffee. While on a donut run, he gazes out the window of his favorite coffee shop and there in the street stands the lifemate he's been searching for. If he doesn't act now, he'll lose her forever. But then again there's always a vampire to help.

Book preview

"I would have never thought I would like a love story based on the September 11, 2001, but I was wrong. Regina and Gregor’s story was heartfelt and compassionate with a zing of magic and the paranormal. When Love Survives is a wonderfully written love story of two hearts finding each other on a day when terror ruled."

-Joyfully Reviewed

"This story takes place on September 11th and I commend Ms Hanniford Crowley on weaving a love story using one of the most tragic days in recent history as a backdrop. The tale is told with a great deal of compassion and sensitivity.

I really liked this story. I especially liked the way Ms. Crowley took a tragedy and turned it into something beautiful. She showed us the spirit of all those that pulled together and volunteered to help. The spirit of the people of New York that to this day we call heroes and heroines.

-Rites of Romance Reviews

I thought it was cool that the supernaturals in the city were helping in the recovery effort trying to save people. You get a sense throughout the book of how easily people come together in tragic circumstances no matter if you are human or not.

This book had me all emotional, it caused me to think back to that day on September 11, 2001. I thought about all the feelings and emotions that were going on that day. I am so happy that Susan wrote a story that made me smile, and leads me to believe that something good can come out of the most tragic circumstances.

About the Author

Chapter 1

I'm late! Reggie stared at the alarm clock. I can't believe this is happening to me! Pulling her wet, red hair into a sophisticated bun, she ran down the stairs of her apartment building. She never liked her hair.

The postman slipped the mail into the boxes. Hey you, Regina O'Malley?

She stopped. Crap! I'm going to lose the best internship in the city and maybe a chance of a great job when I graduate. Yes.

He handed her an envelope from Alaska. Read Immediately was written in large letters, so she ripped it open.

Dear Reggie,

We can't get through on your cell, and your father and I have been worried sick. We're sending our love and protection. We've held off telling you this, but it's time you know. Remember how you always made a joke that your father was a leprechaun and your mother an
