Scarlet Eternal

Aster Wildes is the last true witch of New Orleans. Behind the walls of a French Quarter speakeasy, Aster sells magic potions to a family of vampires. It's not a glamorous job and barely pays her mortgage, but Aster knows what her coven expects of her… Create elixirs that allow vampires to survive, don't fraternize with said vampires, and never, ever conduct business on the side. Despising vampires makes these rules easy to follow until Bastian Delacroix reappears. And after years of being absent, does he really have to smile at Aster the way he does? Doesn't he know he's supposed to act like the other vampires-exude doom and gloom rather than rakish charm? With the nerve to propose a secret deal, Bastian requests that Aster concoct a potion that allows vampires to walk in the sun, and in return, she'll be handsomely rewarded for her crime. Although Aster knows better than to trust vampires, she finds herself giving in to the allure of financial freedom... and to him. The two embark on an illicit journey, allowing Aster to see a new side of Bastian, one that's charismatic and tender. When business inevitably mixes with pleasure, they find themselves carried away by a romance as forbidden as the potion they've created. But there are stakes in the bayou where witches have burned for treason, and when Aster is in danger of being exposed, she knows she will have to make a choice-Bastian or the coven her blood is tied to. It's a predicament no amount of magic can solve. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Aster Wildes is not only a witch on a mission, she's about to be a mother. In one tragic event, Aster lost everything she treasured most-the home she fought so hard to keep and the vampire who had stolen her heart. But Aster is no quitter. Once her daughter is born, she'll risk everything to resurrect her vampire, even when there's no guarantee such a dangerous spell will work. When an unexpected twist of fate upends her entire plan, Aster's forced to run from New Orleans to California just weeks before giving birth. It's there that she must create the most forbidden and perilous spell of her life. Because if her coven found out the truth about her child, they'd turn their back on her in a heartbeat. Getting caught could mean burning at the stake, and her enemies are lurking in the shadows. With her life and love on the line, Aster must attempt to break the toxic pattern of her ancestors and create the life her child deserves. Contains mature content.
