Blood Music

When fun-loving witch Maddy Gallowglass moves to Bedlam to restore an old mansion and turn it into a magical bed-and-breakfast, the last thing she expects is to meet her match in the gorgeous vampire Aegis, a former servant of Apollo.
Blood Music is the prequel story to the Bewitching Bedlam series.
"I WAS ATTRACTED to the old mansion before I ever set foot in it. One night, exhausted and tired of pretending to be happy any longer, I decided to get the hell out of Dodge. Or rather, Seattle. The condo wasn’t my home anymore, at least not in my heart, and I was getting really tired of the noise and the rules. I wanted to have my cat with me without hiding him. I wanted to paint my front door red to feng shui prosperity into my life. And I wanted to carve a pumpkin, enchant it, and set it outside my door to delight the trick-or-treaters on Samhain Eve—or as the humans called it, Halloween. But all of those things were prohibited by my HOA. I felt like I was being regulated to death and I was ready to bust heads over it. In addition, my ex still had a nasty habit of coming around to try to spy on me. He couldn’t give up that nasty control streak and I was ready to bust his head, too. It was only through great restraint that I hadn’t cast a hex on him. A few focused words and a flick of my hand and I knew I could get him fired. Or better yet, wither up his dick. Preferably while it was inside one of his many girlfriends he had cheated on me with. “What the hell should I do? I can sell this place, but I haven’t the faintest idea of where I want to go. I feel at all sorts of loose ends right now.” I glanced over at Sandy, my partner in crime. Or at least, magic and partying. We were coven-mates, and right now we were brewing up our fourth batch of margaritas. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to debate serious questions when we were half-drunk, but then again, I’ve never actually been accused of being wise."
