Southern town. But as soon as she arrives in Bradleton, she meets one outsized problem: the town’s
gorgeous mayor.
Wyatt Bradley isn’t thrilled about his nickname, Mayor McHottie. He’s
even less happy to learn that his town might be losing its biggest employer. If he has to, he’ll use some
sneaky tactics to get Caila on his side. Yet even as he’s hoping she’ll fall for Bradleton, he’s falling too—
right into a combustible affair that shakes them both with its intensity.
Two stubborn people, torn between loyalty, ambition, and attraction. But
when you’re willing to give it your all, there’s no limit to how far love can take you…

In the small town of Cougar, struggling single mother and veterinary
assistant Teresa Lansing is still bruised from a failed relationship when Frank McAllister sweeps her off

Frank is a big-city SWAT officer who moved to Cougar only four months
ago. He’s handsome, charming, forceful, very sexy, and a bit mysterious. He had his eye on Teresa even
before they met and is pushing for a serious relationship right away.
Teresa finds his intense courtship flattering, and the sex is fabulous, but
she doesn’t want her deaf six-year-old son to be hurt again. Her former fiancé cheated on her when he
got drunk after being unjustly fired, but he loves her and her son, and the whirlwind romance is
complicated by his efforts to win Teresa back.
And then there’s the matter of the bodies buried at Big Devil Creek…

I was born and raised in San Diego, California and earned a BA in
English from San Diego State University and an MLS from UCLA. I began my career as a reference and
collection development librarian in the Art and Music Section of the San Diego Public Library and then
transferred to the Literature and Languages Section, where I had the pleasure of managing the Central
Library’s Fiction collection and initiating fiction order lists for the entire library system. Although I also
enjoy reading biography, memoir, and history, fiction remains my first love. In addition to the three R’s–
reading, writing, and research–I enjoy Scrabble, movies, and travel.
My earliest ambition was to be a “book maker” and I wrote my first story,
“Judy and the Fairies,” with a plot stolen from a comic book, at the age of six. I broke into print in college
with a story in the San Diego State University literary journal, The Phoenix, but most of my magazine
publications came after I left the library to spend more time on my writing
My stories have been published in numerous journals, including Eclectica,
The Binnacle, The Nassau Review, Orbis, Thema Literary Journal, and forthcoming in Avalon Literary
Review, and and in the anthologies Short Story America, Vol. 2 and The Captive and the Dead. Four
stories, including two as yet unpublished, received honorable mention in the Short Story America Prize
for Short Fiction contests.

“Frank!” she cried, laughing, but a little scared—what if he dropped her? He was strong, but she wasn’t
very light. He didn’t drop her—or he did, but deliberately, from about an inch above the cool, clean sheets
of his bed. They were both laughing, and he started kissing her randomly, here and there. This can be a lot
of fun, she told herself. Enjoy it while it lasts. “Remember when you asked if it was too soon for me to
date?” she asked.
“Yeah, and you said it depended on the definition.”
“It turns out it was too soon,” she said, “and now it’s too late.”
A Date With a Vampire
Love Bites, Paranormal Dating Agency Book 1
by Abbey MacMunn
Genre: Paranormal Romance
You are cordially invited to join Love Bites, Paranormal Dating
Agency. Where fur, fangs, feathers, and the occasional human, meet their match.
Witch Harper Clarke is pretty sure misfortune follows her around like a
bad smell. Her spells end in disaster, her dating agency for supernaturals has an embarrassing lack of
clients, and her love life is a washout. So when a vampire signs up to the agency and she can’t find him
a match, she agrees to date the vamp herself.
Charmer Damon Vertefeuille has it all; power, status, wealth, but
becoming a vampire to get his errant brother out of trouble isn’t what he expected. Newbie vamps aren’t
supposed to be dangerous, but one look at his witchy date and he has a sudden desire to sink his fangs
into her neck.
Thing is, she wants his bite.
Chemistry sizzles, but when Damon’s brother threatens to tear them
apart, the lines blur between loyalty, love and dark desires.

Maybe it was a witch thing. Not that Damon had ever met a witch before, but maybe she was putting
some kind of spell on those around her, him included, a spell he seemed powerless to resist.
Is that possible? Could a witch render a vampire weak to her charms? There was no denying the
desire to taste her blood was like the promise of an exquisite wine, but he would never, never bite anyone
without their permission.
According to his maker, Nerissa, in order to keep their existence from the humans, it was ruled that
vampires must be discreet at all times, bite only those who were willing, and then draw no more than a
few drops of their blood, not even enough to make them dizzy, but enough to satisfy a vampire’s
bloodlust—when it came. Being a fledgling, he was more than content with the odd blood bag or two and
wouldn’t experience the bloodlust for a long time.
His maker told him there were a few vampires, especially the ancients, whose bloodlust had turned
them into soulless monsters, and thought themselves above the ruling, but with Nerissa’s guidance, he had
no intention of becoming a monster.
Harper opened the menu and studied it for several seconds. Her shoulders dipped a fraction. She
looked up and waited for the maître d to get out of earshot. “I’m sorry, I have no idea what any of this
says.”
Damon raised his eyebrows. Well, that was refreshingly different. Most women he knew would
pretend to read the menu, order something with the worst French pronunciation, then proceed to pick at
something they didn’t want. But not Harper. She’d come straight out and confessed.
He smiled, admiring her honesty. “Don’t worry. I can translate if you want, but I recommend the Filet
de Bœuf écossais ou Roquefort—the steak. It’s to die for,” he lowered his voice and leaned forward, “but
I already did that.”
She rolled her eyes and whispered back, “Is that the best vamp joke you have?”
“No, I have plenty.”
“Terrific. But the steak? Really?” She grinned. “I wouldn’t have thought you would go anywhere near
a stake.”
He laughed, but only now did he wonder why she’d agreed to date a vampire, or why the owner of a
dating agency for supernatural beings hadn’t matched him with one of her clients. He’d thought it odd,
and a little unprofessional at the time, but something about her, even on the phone, had intrigued him. So,
was she merely here to check him out, to make sure he wasn’t dangerous before she matched him with
someone more suitable? If that were the case, then she wasn’t interested in him at all. The thought
disappointed him more than he cared to admit.
Returning his attention to Harper, he asked, “Would you like me to order something for you?” He
winked. “Something light? A sand-witch, perhaps?”
Harper rolled her stunning, pale grey eyes again, her long eyelashes brushing her eyelids. “Witch
jokes too? Magic powers that be, give me strength.”
She looked at the menu again, hiding what he was sure was another smile behind the pages.
“Okay, you can order, but no snails… or frog’s legs. Definitely not those.”
“No frog’s legs or snails, I promise.”

“Do you want your blowjob now?” she asked, gazing at him with a seductive stare.
As Amelia knelt beside the bed, Tom extended his hand to her, pulling her toward him.
“Only if you want to, doll,” he said.
Amelia’s eyes gave Tom a questioning blink. What did he mean ‘want to?’ She wasn’t
sure if it was her place to express desires. She wasn’t really human, after all. Amelia laid down
next to him, still blinking her large brown eyes. He gave her silky hair a gentle stroke, kissing
her forehead.
“I want you to want to, Amelia,” he whispered.
She still didn’t really understand. It was her job to service the men of District M, giving
in to their every desire.
“But…” she started.
Tom placed his finger to her full lips, holding her close to his chest.
“Why don’t we just hold each other like this,” he said.
Amelia was confused, but did as Tom said, simply resting on his chest while he stroked
her hair. It was an odd sensation on her skin to simply be held, but something about it was
amazingly comforting. She loved the way her skin felt on his, without the implication of sexual
gratification.
“Amelia,” he started.
“Yes Tom?”
“What’s your favorite color?”
“My favorite color? Gosh, I don’t know. I’ve never really thought about it.”
“Come on, surely you have a favorite color.”
“Chartreuse, a yellow-green which originated from a French liquor.”
“No, don’t give me your robot, search engine answer. I want to know what color you
like.”
Amelia gave it some serious thought. She didn’t want to displease him with another
incorrect response. Steven hated it when clients complained. He’d threatened to wipe her
memory before, and she hoped he wouldn’t follow through. A memory flashed in her mind when
one of the other dolls was dancing on stage, wearing a flashy dress with pink sequin. When it
caught her eye, Amelia remembered wishing she had a dress like that.
“I love pink when it sparkles!” she said with a smile, sitting up to face Tom. Her eyes
grew wide with excitement. “I also love hair ribbons, and sunshine, and flowers, and…”
Tom squeezed her hands. “Go on. It’s okay.”
“And…Sometimes, when I know I’m about to close my eyes, I’m worried I’ll never wake-
up again, or Steven will take away my memories. I just want to stand in the middle of the town
and play in the fountains by the skyscrapers.”
Amelia clasped her hands over her mouth, realizing she let out a bit too many words.
“Oh dear. I’ve said too much. Promise you won’t tell Steven.”
“Oh, sweet Amelia,” Tom said, running his fingers through her hair. “You just want to
be free, don’t you?”
Amelia thought for a while. She did just want to be free, but she could never, ever admit
that. “No, of course not. I love the dolls and my home.”
“Nobody said you didn’t love those things, but everyone deserves to be happy. Even
you.”
“Even me? But I’m not…”
“What? Human?”
“Yes…I’m not human. I’m not allowed to think anything other than what my
programming tells me to. Right?”
“I don’t care what Steven, or anyone else says. You’re real to me.”
Her heart was bursting with excitement. Nobody ever validated her like that before, and
it felt good to hear it from the lips of someone who cared. Tom got out of bed, pulling his pants
up.
“Come on, let’s go,” he said.
“Let’s go?”
“Yea, let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“To the fountains by the skyscrapers.”
“Oh Tom! Really?!”
“Really,” he smiled.
Amelia beamed once Tom’s car rolled into the city where the tall buildings stretched into
the sky. The people bustled about on the busy sidewalks, shopping and carrying on. There were
shops with bionic humanoids, busily fixing the window displays. There were children riding on
their hoverboards. It was all very exciting to Amelia who rarely got to see much outside of the
Bionic Doll building, or a man’s bedroom. Tom tossed his keys to a bionic valet as he escorted
Amelia to the fountains in between the skyscrapers. Water would come shooting from the
ground periodically in different places from a spout in the concrete. Children waited eagerly for
the next bit of water to come shooting from the ground. Tom took her by the hand, leading her
to the middle of the spouts.
“Are you ready?” he asked her.
“Yes!”
Water came shooting up in between them, showering them with droplets. Amelia
squealed, taking Tom’s hand and continuing to frolic about as the water shot up randomly from
different spouts. Her dress flowed all around as she spun, allowing the water to drench her dark
hair. Tom took each of her hands in his, spinning her around on her feet. She wrapped her
arms around him, giving him the embrace of gratitude.
“Thank you. This is the best day ever,” she whispered.
Tom held her close, wrapping his hands around her waist. He lowered his hand into the
pocket of her dress, placing something thick and heavy inside.
“Take this. It’ll get you through at least until you can figure something out. There’s a
man on the other side of town. His name is Avery King. He can help you.”
“Avery King?” she asked, adjusting the silver bracelet.
“Don’t let anyone see your tattoo. They don’t need to know you’re a bionic. Just go be
free.”
“Be free?”
“Go Amelia. Before Steven finds you. Just go,” he pleaded. “I put enough credits in
your pocket to last you months.”
Amelia wasn’t sure what to say or do. She was so grateful that Tom took her to the
fountains, but she wasn’t quite expecting him to help her run away. As the water shot-up
between them, Tom ran in the other direction.
“Wait! Tom! Please!” she pleaded.
“Avery King!” he said again, disappearing into the crowd.
“Avery King,” Amelia said to herself, grasping the credits in her pocket.
