Directly descended from the very first vampire hunter in the Gardella family, Victoria knows she must continue the lineage so humanity will have protectors against the undead. Coming March 3, 2009! While Sebastian Vioget appears to be both the perfect warrior and lover to ensure the Gardella Legacy, Victoria cannot forget Max Pesaro – the former slayer still haunted by the vampire queen Lilith's obsession with him. But it is Lilith's obsession that may save all of humanity. Demons, enemies of both mortals and the undead, have found their way to earth. To defeat them, vampires and slayers must fight side by side. But Lilith wants Max in return for her cooperation ‐ a small price for the world, but too high a price for Victoria. 
Vampire hunter Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth de Lacy "stakes the undead with the best of them"*. After narrowly escaping from Rome, she returns to London, where not even sunrise can stop a vampire's carnage... Now Available! Ruining Victoria's homecoming, a vampire stalks the streets of London – during the daylight. Not only is Victoria unable to detect the vampire with her heightened senses, but she's being framed as the prime suspect behind the killings. Meanwhile, her heart is still divided between the enigmatic Sebastian Vioget and her fellow slayer Max Pesaro. The battle is made even more difficult by the legacy of a vampire's touch – a vampire who left in Victoria's veins boiling blood that forces her to fight evil on two fronts: against the new breed of undead threatening London, and against the darkness within herself. » Learn More

I've always been a fan of historical romances, including Jane Austen's wonderful Pride and Prejudice, but at the same time I found myself intrigued by contemporary characters like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sydney Bristow of Alias. 
Buffy and Sydney had it hard enough balancing their double lives in 20th-century America, but what would it have been like for them if they'd lived a century earlier – during a time when a woman was always chaperoned, could never go out alone at night, and whose main goal in life was to get married? That was how I got the idea for The Gardella Vampire Chronicles. It's a series about Victoria Gardella Grantworth, who, just before she is about to debut into 19th-century London Society, learns that she comes from a long line of vampire hunters. Not only does she have to find a place to hide her stake, but she's got to figure out how to get out at night to stalk vampires in between pouring tea and filling her dance card – not to mention handle the inquisitive Marquess of Rockley, who's asking too many questions, stave off the mysterious Sebastian Vioget and determine whether he's friend or foe – and work with the arrogant Max Pesaro, who thinks women have no business being vampire hunters. |
