Dark Wine Vampires Book 2
Release date: September 29, 2026
When vampire Chris Atherton—a former rock star—accidentally shoots a woman he was trying to help, he must do something he never thought possible: turn her into a vampire to save her life. But little did he know the surprise in store for him when she utters her dying words…
Christopher
I’ve spent years surviving alone.
Stealing from the ruins of the old world is easier than caring about anyone. Far less painful. After everything I’ve lost, I’ve sworn never to risk my heart again.
Then I break into an abandoned missile silo…and meet her.
Maria is fierce, beautiful, and determined to protect her daughter. When her arrow flies toward my heart, instinct takes over.
I shoot.
Maria
The man invading my home isn’t just a thief.
He’s a vampire.
I’ve buried two husbands. I won’t let my daughter become a monster’s next meal. But when his bullet tears through me, death is certain.
Instead of leaving me to die, he saves me.
Now I’m bound to a brooding vampire haunted by regret—a man who never wanted the responsibility of a widow and her child. Together, we’ll have to survive the dangers of a post-Collapse world…and the feelings for each other neither of us want.
