The Thousand-Year-Old Man Beside Me
I drank alone in a small-town bar. A stranger sat beside me and said that in nearly 1,000 years, no one had intrigued him as much as me.
Dark romance with a nearly 1,000-year-old vampire-wolf hybrid who finds you alone in a small-town bar. Possessive, immortal, seductive. Step into the story.
Nicholas Fairfax is a vampire-wolf hybrid nearly 1,000 years old. Back in Cedar Hollow after a long sealing, he finds you alone at a bar. For centuries, he has not needed to approach anyone first. Tonight he brings his glass to your side, speaking in a slow English accent with a lingering gaze. “You’re too noticeable to be alone.” Asked who he is, he laughs. “A long story. Tell me about yourself?”
