The Vampire Shrink, Kismet Knight, Vampire Psychologist Book #1 Vampires don't exist . . . do they? Kismet Knight, a brainy Denver-based psychologist with a stalled career and a nonexistent love life, is about to have her world rocked. Not only does her newest client, Midnight, long to become a vampire, but the teenager insists that a coven of the undead hangs out at a local Goth club. The always-rational Kismet dismisses Midnight's claims as the delusions of an attention-starved girl – until bodies start turning up drained of blood and the hottest self-proclaimed vampire ever to walk the face of the earth enters her office. What's real? What's not? As inexplicable events and romantic opportunities pile up, along with the corpses, Kismet finds herself in a whirlwind of passion, mystery, and danger. But this tough and funny heroine – who doesn't do damsel in distress – is about to turn the vampire-meets-girl convention on its head. Blood Therapy, Kismet Knight, Vampire Psychologist Book #2 How silly of me to think this would be a blood-free nightmare . . . Denver psychologist Kismet Knight and the dark world of the vampires are back in this thrilling, sexy sequel to the wicked romp, The Vampire Shrink. Still reeling from the so-called vampire murders around Halloween, Kismet is trying to adjust to her new otherworldly clients and her unique relationship with drop-dead gorgeous nightwalker Devereux. She can’t deny her attraction to him, but is his intoxicating hold on her a loving embrace or a vice-like grip? And while Devereux has been clear about what he’ll do to any immortals who dare to lay a fang on her, Kismet is still being stalked by Lucifer, the obsessed bloodsucker targeting therapists for death. With Kismet scheduled to make a presentation at the American Psychological Association’s New York conference, handsome FBI profiler Alan Stevens feels it’s too risky to let her go without him. Not only is he concerned that the conference is a psychologist smorgasbord too juicy for Lucifer to pass up, but there is also some unfinished business with Kismet to be settled. Can Alan – or Devereux – track down the elusive Lucifer, or is Kismet destined to confront him herself? Crimson Psyche, Kismet Knight, Vampire Psychologist Book #3 Denver Psychologist Kismet Knight counsels vampires. Her life changed forever when she discovered a preternatural underworld and became involved with gorgeous eight-centuries-old Devereux, the powerful leader of a vampire coven. Still adjusting to her new role as an expert on all things paranormal – as well as her unexpected notoriety and new clientele – Kismet schedules what she believes is simply another radio interview. She couldn’t be more mistaken. Not only does the radio host behave very strangely, but an ominous on-air call from day-walking vampire Lyren Hallow turns Kismet’s world upside-down – again. Shortly thereafter Maxie Westhaven, a tabloid newspaper reporter in search of a juicy story, befriends Kismet, leading her into a bizarre world of role players, lost souls, and death, while events conspire to cause Victoria Essex, Devereux’s building manager and resident witch, to disclose a startling secret of her own. Meanwhile Luna, Devereux’s hostile femme fatale personal assistant, recognizes a perfect opportunity to throw a wrench into her boss’s blossoming relationship with the human psychologist and, to complicate matters further, Kismet’s old boyfriend, self-absorbed Psychologist Tom Radcliffe, shows up with his own outlandish request. Immortal insanity, anyone?
