The Blood Awakening

He went in search of a career. He found a destiny he never knew existed.

Thomas Carter is a brilliant Art History graduate stuck behind a gift shop cash register at the Art Institute of Chicago. His dreams of an internship are crushed by the petty, elitist Dr. Orin Ferris, and his social life is a string of awkward moments and "team building" disasters. When his coworkers drag him to The Blood Rose, a semi-exclusive club with a dark reputation, Thomas expects another night of humiliation.

He doesn’t expect Riggs McClain.

Riggs is more than just a devastatingly handsome bartender with a wicked smile. He is a soldier for the Rose Coven, an ancient vampire who has spent decades waiting for the one person who would change everything. The moment he catches the aroma of sweet lilacs clinging to the shy man in the bow tie, he knows. This man is his beloved.
As their bond deepens, the human world refuses to let go. Dr. Ferris is determined to destroy Thomas’s reputation and blackball him from the art world forever. What Ferris doesn't realize is that Thomas is now protected by the most influential coven in Chicago.

In a world of shadows and secrets, Thomas must choose. Does he stick to what is safe or does he throw caution to the wind and embrace the unknown?
