The Waning — Gardenia Series, Book 1

When research librarian Nia Ashford follows an obscure folklore trail to rural Romania, she expects dusty archives and quiet villages. She does not expect Drake Corvin — ancient, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she cannot yet name.

Drake has survived two thousand years by keeping his distance from the living. But something in Nia calls to the part of him he buried long ago. As the moon wanes and old enemies stir, he must choose between the safety of his solitude and the one woman who makes him feel the weight of every century he has lived.

Dark. Slow burn. Deeply rooted in Romanian vampire mythology.
