Through his five hundred years, Yuri Sokolov has learned that speaking with the spirits he sees isn't a very good idea, but something about the spirit staying at the home of David, second in command of the Immortal Guardians, with all of the Immortals, urges him to break his rule.  Her name is Cat Seddon, and the more Yuri talks to her, the more he wants from their relationship.  For the first time in a very long time, Yuri is contemplating a future with a woman.  But what kind of future can he have with a ghost?

Two lonely souls come together in Phantom Embrace.  Yuri is solitary by nature, although he enjoys living with his fellow warriors, but he's never imagined a relationship because of his immortality.  Cat has spent a couple centuries watching over her brother, in spite of the fact that he isn't aware of her presence.  She's been intrigued by Yuri since he moved in, but she didn't know he could see her.

Stake Out - Hannah Jayne
Manhattan, New York City - Present Day

With only two days until the beginning of Fashion Week, the last thing vampire and fashion designer Nina LaShay needs is one of her supermodels making a play for Nina's sort-of boyfriend, Pike. Correction; the last thing she needs is to find that supermodel dead in her studio the morning after Nina fires her and hints at the woman's imminent death.  But when the model sits up, Nina knows she's got something much worse on her hands: a Halfling hungry vampire with a grudge.  How is she ever going to get her collection completed before Fashion Week begins now?

Stake Out is a fun paranormal mystery.  After a century as a vampire, Nina has found a new passion in fashion design, and this annoying supermodel becoming a crazed vampire is really cutting into her plans for the week.  Worse, this isn't the first time Nina has found a body, and it's not exactly easy explaining things to the local police.
