The Arrival
The vampire comfort read you didn’t know you needed.
Nino and Haruka are starting their family with the pending arrival of a new baby, but it’s freaking Nino out a little.
Old wounds and complicated familial relationships come to a head, and the two vampires must work together to smooth things out before they become fathers.
The Arrival is the first Lore and Lust novella and follows the perspective of Nino and Haruka across the span of Lore and Lust Book Three: The Awakening, and beyond.
Karla Nikole
Karla Nikole has a long-standing love affair with Japan. They have always been very good to each other. Having lived in the country for two years and taken several extended vacations there, she is deeply inspired by the culture, language, landscape, food and people. A trip to Italy in 2018 for a wedding breathed new fire into her writing, eventually leading to the birth of Nino Bianchi and Haruka Hirano—two love letters to these beautiful countries. She has also lived in South Korea and Prague, and currently resides in the USA (although Milan is adamantly calling out to her).
Lore and Lust
Lore and Lust consists of three primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads, and the series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
