Teaching a straight-laced vampire to loosen up is going to take every ounce of Ysabelle's strength...so long as she can keep them both alive when the entire world seems to want them dead.

Battling evil is all in a day's work for the Dark One named Sebastian. But now he must take on a horde of unhappy zombies and an obnoxious teen vampire if he wants to win the hand of the one woman who can make him whole.

Ysabelle is a woman with a past, and not a whole lot of future if a certain demon lord has his way. With zombies, demons, and a little thing like death standing in her way, will she find happiness in the man who's seen more darkness than she can imagine?

Note: this novella was originally published in the Just One Sip and My Zombie Valentine anthologies in 2006 and 2010, respectively.
