Gem

by Craig Jones

Meet Gem. She's a vampire hit woman for the mob, out to right a wrong, save a beautiful woman from her mobster boyfriend, and change the balance of power in the New York City underworld. Some think she's just a bloodsucking party girl, but those who underestimate her usually end up dead. When she's not eradicating drug lords and offing bad guys, she's tending to the needs of her adopted five-year-old daughter and her nanny, who are constantly put in danger due to her highly volatile occupation. And just when she thinks she has everything under control, her human past comes back in the form of one very handsome and very deadly sire. He doesn't want her love this time. He wants her secret, and he will kill her to get it.

About the author

Originally from South Wales, I have held a wide range of jobs from tennis player to gym manager to health service worker. I turned 40 in October, am married to Claire and we have a cat called Wookie. I went to school with Catherine Zeta-Jones, have played tennis with Jamie Redknapp and coached Great Britain’s first ever World Number One tennis player.
I have always enjoyed horror books and movies, everything from Jason Voorhees and his slasher friends through to creepy characters like Hannibal Lector. When I write I am always trying to create realistic people and thrust them into terrifying situations.
Hope you enjoy!
