Curse the Night: A Havenwood Falls High Novella

Jack Peters is everything a girl could want in a bad boy. Blunt, aloof, and ready to whisk you away on the back of his motorcycle. And that's just the way he likes it. Simple relationships. No commitment. High adrenaline. A shapeshifting Hellhound with a look that kills-literally-Jack hides behind his sunglasses and skulks in the cemeteries, biding his time until he's out of Havenwood Falls and on the road to bigger adventures.

He doesn't plan on Cressida Manos.

A seventeen year-old mountain nymph, Cressida has it all. A great family. A quiet life. And an annoying habit of being overly helpful and friendly with everyone. She's sunny, cheerful, dependable, and ... a vandal?

Caught on camera tagging buildings in the middle of the night, no one can believe Cressida Manos possible of malicious destruction of property. Especially Jack Peters, who stumbles on the redhead in the middle of graffitiing a tombstone.

Only Cressida doesn't remember her crimes, and the only one who believes she's innocent is the guy who caught her in the act.

Welcome to Havenwood Falls, a small town in the majestic mountains of Colorado. A town where legacies began centuries ago, bloodlines run deep, and dark secrets abound. A town where nobody is what you think, where truths pose as lies, and where myths blend with reality. A place where everyone has a story. Including the high schoolers. This is only but one.
