The Innkeeper and the Vampire Billionaire
(2027)(The third book in the Chrysanthemum Cove series)
A novel by Evangeline Hunter
She returned to Chrysanthemum Cove to rebuild her life, not become a billionaire vampire’s fake bride.
Cassandra Stephens has the perfect life. She is a rising star at a high-end New York interior design boutique and only weeks away from landing a coveted feature in LuxLiving, the magazine every designer dreams of. But when her boss becomes tangled in a very public scandal, the entire company comes crashing down, and Cassandra finds herself unemployed, humiliated, and completely unmoored.
At the same time, she receives unexpected news from Chrysanthemum Cove. Her eccentric Aunt Petunia has passed away and left Cassandra her beloved but crumbling bed-and-breakfast, The Thistledown Inn. With no job, no direction, and no reason to remain in Manhattan, Cassandra decides to head to the magical coastal town she has not visited since childhood.
Her plan is simple. She will restore the inn, earn the feature in LuxLiving, and reclaim her life on her own terms. The reality proves far more complicated. The Thistledown Inn is in shambles, from peeling paint to broken protective wards and a roof that complains every time she breathes too loudly. Still, Cassandra refuses to give up on the dream that might save her future.
There's just one problem.
Caleb Winegrove, a billionaire vampire hotelier, wants The Thistledown Inn for himself. When Cassandra refuses his generous offer, he returns with something far more dangerous: a proposal. His uncle's will demands he be legally married by Valentine's Day, and he needs a bride who won't fall in love with him. In exchange for a fake marriage, he'll fund her renovations and never touch her property again.
It's the perfect arrangement, business only, no feelings, no complications.
But as Cassandra breathes life back into her aunt's magical inn and Caleb shields her from supernatural rivals, the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur. With enchanted disasters, meddling townsfolk, and a deadline that's fast approaching, they must decide which is more terrifying: losing the life they've built, or risking their hearts on something neither of them expected.
A charming, slow-burn paranormal romance about second chances, unlikely partnerships, and the magic of finding home in the most unexpected places.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
