About this ebook

The third standalone in Charlotte Stein's Sanctuary for Supernatural Creatures series, featuring a blood-pumping enemies-to-lovers romance for the ages!

Marley Maples is sure she's finally evaded her vampire mortal enemy. Halsten has stalked her across oceans of time, and many, many lives. But now she's arrived at the age of thirty in Hollow Brook, with no sign of him. So she’s devastated when he suddenly shows and yet again tries to make her life hell. Until her two witchy best friends suggest a spell to make him forget all about her.

There’s just one issue: he forgets his whole existence with it. All Halsten now remembers is being a big, hot, vampire Viking. And all he sees when he looks at Marley is his beloved little witch, his saviour, the light of his life. He goes from being a horror that haunts her nightmares, to a man who loves her and will protect her at all costs. And as much as she’s skeptical, she can’t help finding his fish-out-of-water, warrior ways and his desire to defend her endearing.

Maybe even a little sexy. In fact, it’s starting feel very sexy indeed.

And if she’s not careful, she’s going to lose herself to a man she swore to hate. A man who might return to her eternal enemy, at any moment...

Love a story that seems straightforward, but the more things come to light, the you realize you don’t know a smidgen of the real events! There was always a niggle from the start, and even our FMC knew that she was missing something. It took a spell to mix things up, to make things seem unreal, and to cause that worry to expose the truth. And I sobbed when I realized it, and I fretted there was no way out of it, and I cheered when our couple could have their HEA. A page turner, absolutely; A myst

Loved reading the spellbinding and amazing paranormal story. When Marley, a witch, continues to try to get away from Halsten, a vampire, Marley's two friends put a spell on Halsten, who now wants Marley with an unbelievable passion, and Marley starts to fall for the vampire. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of twists and turns, and a must read riveting romance story.
