England, 1790.

Aiden Langston, Earl Graham, future Duke of Leeds, is a jaded young man with everything to lose.

Amalia Romero is a proud Bohemian who needs no one's help despite having next to nothing.

After one mistake too many, Aiden is forced into exile for the summer. The boredom of the countryside nearly drives him mad until he meets Amalia, whom he hires to give him violin lessons.

Amalia has always longed for freedom, and this deal is a golden opportunity to finally obtain it. Her desire for a lonesome life soon wavers, subdued by Aiden's effortless charm.

Their shared love for music opens a doorway to more, and before long and despite their great differences, Aiden and Amalia can't deny this is much more than a convenient deal. But in a society that would never allow such a union, can things truly work out between them?

THE AMBY AWARDS 2022 WINNER (Best Series) Book One (Book Three of the trilogy is on the WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST) Wattpad featured story. The Adept Pen 21 finalist. Samara, a young woman from London, visits Bran Castle in Romania during a Halloween night. Somehow, she's always felt drawn to the story of Vlad the Impaler, the historical character who allegedly inspired the writer, Bram Stoker, to write his Count Dracula. Annoyed by her noisy friends, she strolls behind her group when they enter the castle and thus gets approached by their tall dark and handsome guide. Samara can't fight the attraction she feels for him, even after he claims to be Vlad Dracul himself, obviously making fun of her...or? At the end of the tour, unable to resist her curiosity, she follows the guide through a dark corridor and time travels to another time, a late medieval world populated by very unusual vampires, where she had once belonged. The mysterious guide turns out to be her husband, none less than Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, the Impaler... Dracula. Samara's memories start to trickle back slowly, both good and bad. The man she loves so much that she feels overcome by her feelings for him is not exactly as he was when she left him before, when she... died. A lot of things have changed in her absence, in six hundred years. But she is changed too, having grown up in the 21st century this time around, she is not quite the same girl as when she lived in Vlad's castle, in the late medievals. Will the great love they feel for each other despite their long separation be strong enough to overcome all their differences? Will Samara and Vlad accept each other as they are now and fight for their love? Will they defend it in the dangerous world they live in, full of people, or better vampires, who would rather see them apart? In this place where nothing and no one is what they really seem to be at first sight? Cover: @WakeWriteWrath
