A Victorian-era vampire living in the modern world, Emigh Bennett's favorite activity is watching people from the window of her little bookshop. When she spots a woman nearly killed on the street outside her shop, she rushes to her rescue, and that's how she meets Anise.
The proprietress of a little home business called Everything Anise, Anise crafts one-of-a-kind perfumes with a touch of her namesake spice, which have the power to intoxicate and delight the senses. She is smart, sexy, beautiful, and happens to be a little bit different.
Anise is everything Emigh could ever ask for and more, but Emigh can't quite figure her out. Anise possesses the duality of an innocent angel and a vivacious vixen. Even if Emigh can peel away the multi layers of Anise to uncover the woman beneath, what will happen to their budding relationship when she reveals the truth about herself?
