How was I meant to know I was dancing with a vampire's familiar?
My name is Ava Monroe, failing student at Kinwich University, and what started as a scheme to make my ex jealous has turned into a nightmare.
I have a choice: join a coven of vampires, werewolves, witches and shapeshifters, or suffer a long, bloody death at the hands of the coven's tyrannical leader. He will stop at nothing to keep his coven a secret from humans. Unless I pass a trial to prove I'm worthy of membership, who knows what warped execution method he'll use?
To top it off, I'm distracted with impure thoughts about another coven member: a tall, brooding vampire with long legs and a backside that makes me tingle in the most inconvenient places. Will I pass my trial? Or will I lose my humanity trying to survive?

The Vampire and the Scorpion
is written in British English, and contains on-the-page graphic, bloody violence, injury detail, explicit sex scenes, needles/ phlebotomy, kidnap, and substance abuse. It also contains suggestions or references to child abuse, sexual exploitation, rape, and domestic violence. As the first book in the series, future instalments may deal with other triggering themes. Reader discretion advised.
Although this can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, straight romance novel, it's the first in an on-going series that explores polyamorous LGBT+ (MMF) relationships, full of misdirection, heartbreak, and drama along the way.
