A Hidden Fire

He's kept his secrets for five hundred years. One librarian could unravel all of them.

A paranormal romance with a brooding vampire hero, a curious librarian heroine, forbidden attraction, and globe-trotting adventure. Perfect for fans of paranormal romance, urban fantasy romance, and immortal love stories with slow-burn tension and rich historical atmosphere.

Giovanni Vecchio is not your typical book dealer. Scholar, vampire, and former assassin, he’s spent five centuries hiding from the sins of his past and from the immortal enemies who want him truly dead. He has survived by staying careful, staying distant, and never letting anyone get too close.

Then he meets Beatrice De Novo.

She is a librarian. Sharp, curious, and completely unprepared for the world Giovanni inhabits. A world of ancient powers, elemental magic, and vampires who command the forces of earth, air, fire, and water. When Giovanni realizes Beatrice may hold the key to a mystery that has obsessed him for centuries, he pulls her into his world. He tells himself it’s only business.

He’s wrong.

As their search for a lost library takes them across the globe, something far more dangerous than old secrets begins to burn between them. Beatrice must decide if she can trust a man who has lived a hundred lifetimes of lies. And Giovanni must face the possibility that after five hundred years, he finally has something worth losing.

A Hidden Fire is the first book in the Elemental Mysteries series. A gripping paranormal romance with immortal intrigue, elemental magic, and a love story five centuries in the making.
