World's first woman. World's first vampire. World's worst at finding love. Lilith doesn't believe in soulmates. If she couldn't make it work with the man she was literally created for, how could they possibly exist? She goes to speed dating on the hunt for a man to quench her thirst. What she finds instead will either rock her world or be the final stake in the Queen of the Night. Owl shifter Spencer has learned his lesson with powerful women. After his last girlfriend derailed his career and nearly destroyed him, he'd rather have his feathers plucked one by one than let another woman sink her talons into his heart. When his sister convinces him to go to speed dating, he can't deny his attraction to the gorgeous crimson-haired vampire who captures his attention. But he refuses to get burned again. Can two people who don't believe in love find happiness together? Or will their colliding worlds go up in flames? *Previously published as Lilith Tropes:Fated matesGrumpy/sunshineOpposites attractCinnamon roll heroStrong heroine Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice. Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to travel, ghost hunt, and spend time with her family.
