Real Vampires Get Lucky — Gerry Bartlett

After four hundred years, you'd think that by now I'd be able to know trouble when I smelled it...

Blood. Type B. Human. Coming from the alley behind my shop. A female loan shark named Lucky had been attacked and left for dead. To save her, I, Glory St. Clair, did something I never ever wanted to resort to. I turned a human into a vampire. It's not that I regret changing Lucky. I had no choice. I will say though, eternity would have been safer without her.

Vamps prefer a low profile. Not Lucky. So what if she has a sexy rock star ex-boyfriend and great shoes? Who died and made her Queen of the Damned? Her flamboyant behavior is not only drawing every vampire hunter within miles -- it's bringing her would-be killer out of hiding too.

Good news is, Lucky's mobster father is offering a big reward to catch him. Bad news is, underworlds are about to collide -- and the odds aren't exactly in my favor.
