Dracula lives—and he’s hunting for his bride.

Vampires may not walk among us, but FBI agents Della Hamilton and Mason Carter know real monsters exist. They’ve witnessed firsthand the worst humankind has to offer. They’re still catching their breaths after the apprehension of two such monstrous killers when they’re met with horrific news: Stephan Dante, the self-proclaimed king of the vampires, has escaped from prison, followed only by a trail of blood.

All too familiar with Dante’s cruelty, Della and Mason know the clock is ticking. But as Dante claims more victims, a chilling message arrives. The vampire killer seeks his eternal bride—Della herself. Playing into Dante’s desires might be the only way to stop the carnage once and for all, assuming they can outwit him. Della is confident the agents have the upper hand, but Mason knows every gamble runs the risk of not paying off, and this time, the consequences could be deadly.

Heather Graham

Heather Graham doesn’t just write stories—she builds haunted landscapes where history lingers and danger hides in plain sight. With a career spanning over three decades and more than 200 novels to her name, she has become a distinct voice in the realm of romantic suspense and paranormal thrillers. Her worlds are layered with eerie charm: think Civil War ghosts, cursed artifacts, and FBI agents navigating crimes that don’t quite follow the rules of reality.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Graham’s fascination with the strange and supernatural took root early, shaped by a rich backdrop of folklore, Southern Gothic atmosphere, and a deep love of theater. Before becoming a full-time novelist, she worked as an actress and a singer, and that flair for performance still pulses through her writing—dialogue that crackles, pacing that never drags, and scenes that feel made for the screen.

What sets her work apart is how effortlessly she blends suspense with the spectral. In her long-running Krewe of Hunters series, for example, law enforcement collides with the paranormal, creating a tense, often unsettling blend of crime-solving and ghostly encounters. Her characters are rarely just investigators—they’re believers, skeptics, survivors, and sometimes even mediums, each carrying their own shadows into the story.

Recognition has followed her quietly prolific output: Graham has landed on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists multiple times, and she’s a recipient of the Romance Writers of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Yet despite the accolades, her work remains deeply grounded in the idea that human emotion—love, fear, loss—is what gives both mystery and magic their weight.

Whether she’s weaving a tale set in the sultry streets of New Orleans or a colonial mansion in Virginia, Graham’s stories linger where the past refuses to stay buried, and where every creak in the floorboards might mean something more.
