About this ebook

Emma got the house in the divorce. She didn’t know it came with a sleeping vampire.

Emma looks forward to the biggest challenge of her career as an art conservator - restoring her newly acquired shabby Victorian home to its former glory. She didn’t plan on the upgrades including a panicked vampire in her attic. The bite on her neck proves he’s a danger, but she can’t stop thinking about how good it made her feel.

Micah’s not sure who’s the bigger threat - his sire or the woman trying to stake him with an umbrella.

Micah only planned to sleep for fifty years to break the mental bond with the abusive vampire who sired him. Instead, he was unconscious for over a century and woke to a changed world. Giant crafts speed through the sky, buildings stretch to the clouds, and a strange woman is living in his home. His mortal friend is long dead and his connection to his sire is still intact. 

It’s only a matter of time before Vanessa finds Micah.  Can Emma help him navigate this modern age while Micah attempts to break his bond?

When Emma got the house off Troy as part of the divorce settlement, she got so much more than a fixer-upper. She fell in love with the older house and was happy to take on the work, but she soon found that she was taking on something more that would turn her world upside down. Micah awoke to find that things had changed a lot since he went into his deep sleep. Luckily, he had someone by his side who would help him with his transition. Soon their attraction to hold, which displeased his sire.

This book is so much fun to read, a very well written culture clash of sorts Emma is recently divorced and got a house in the agreement. Little she knows the house came with a roommate in the attic, a vampire called Micah. He was supposed to take a nap for 50 years but he overslept. He needs to adapt to 2026 and find a new place to live I love the culture shock in the book - how victorian he is and how he much he underestimated the world would change.
