The Vibe

Jules Savoie is fiercely independent, powerful, and accustomed to putting duty before her own desires. As head of the New Orleans coven, she knows what it means to carry the weight of protecting those she loves. Ruben Dubois, the city's centuries-old vampire overlord, has never stopped believing that Jules is his soulmate, and after twelve years apart, he's finally ready to stop waiting for her.

When circumstances force Jules and Ruben to work together once again, the carefully guarded distance between them begins to crumble. Their chemistry is undeniable, their supernatural bond impossible to ignore, and every stolen moment brings the past rushing back with all the intensity they've tried to suppress. From New Orleans to London, their mission brings danger, political intrigue, and plenty of opportunities for two powerful people to discover whether love can survive the choices that once tore them apart.

Steamy, suspenseful, and deliciously supernatural, Resting Witch Face is a second chance romance filled with fated-mate chemistry, a powerful witch heroine, an irresistible vampire hero, and the kind of hard-earned love that feels worth fighting for. Perfect for readers who love paranormal romance with strong heroines, protective heroes, magic, and plenty of bite.
