The Hawk and the Nightingale

Amalie Vyrdolak has lived a long, interesting life. Born with a voice so enchanting she was dubbed The Nightingale, her village elders handed her off to a warlord to pay their annual protection tithe. Amalie's beautiful voice and sharp mind quickly made her the warlord's favorite toy. When she led a revolt and ousted him as the clan's leader, she went from his lover to his archenemy.


But that was a long time ago, and now Amalie lives a quiet life running her crystal shop in Prague's Old Town, and occasionally singing for the tourists. Then Hawk swept into town, wearing his black cape and only doing business at night, and everything changed.


Hawk knows he makes an impression, and he likes it that way. He didn't build his business from the ground up by staying quiet or playing by the rules, and as a result he owns a dozen successful nightclubs across Europe. Nightclubs were really the best option for him, since he conducted nearly all of his business after sunset, and made a point of being back in his bed before sunrise. Really, it was a wonder one of those new age paranormal groups hadn't caught on to his exploits, and started a podcast about him. Then again, Hawk would rather like a podcast dedicated to his adventures.


When Hawk opened his thirteenth club, the Moravian Ballroom, he knew there was a crystal shop next door. What he hadn't expected was for the shop's owner, a woman with the face of a goddess and the voice of an angel, to pierce his heart in a way no one ever had before, so much so that when Amalie's ex-lover, a brute called Marek, came to town intent on destroying their newfound happiness, Hawk swears to destroy him instead.


The Hawk and the Nightingale is a spicy paranormal romance featuring vampires, old grudges, and red hot revenge.
