Cross Your Heart — Michele Bardsley

Even vampires are afraid of ghosts.

After the death of my husband -- and my dreams of motherhood -- I returned to the family estate in Broken Heart, Oklahoma. Little did I know I would literally give up my life as Elizabeth Bretton, the Silverstone heiress. The whole undead situation calls for a drink -- blood martini, straight up, please.

Escaping the past isn't that easy -- especially when someone else's past is out to get me. Now I have a vengeful ghost trying to kill me, a 150-year-old mystery to solve, and an outrageous were-jaguar named Tezozomoc "Tez" Abraham Elvis Jones trying to get into my boudoir. Tez is a homicide detective who is vulgar, egotistical, presumptuous, and ridiculously hot. Meow, indeed.
