The Secret

After leading a pretty staid and frankly boring life Drusilla Montgomery lands the job of her dreams…working as an assistant to her all time forever favorite romance writer, Gabrielle George. Gabrielle’s assistant, Justin Hunt, is also a slice of Dru’s dreams - tall, dark, handsome and with a nice set of pecs and buns. Night after night they work side by side, answering fan mail, proofreading manuscripts and keeping up the famed author’s social media sites. For Dru this is more than a job. With the death of her strict and controlling mother - a woman very much like the starchy housekeeper in a dark gothic - Dru finally has a chance to pursue the life of her own dreams. Traveling from the sleepy cities of Marin County, California over the Golden Gate bridge to Gabrielle’s Victorian seems like entering an entire new world. Like the fog lifting over San Francisco bay, Dru’s life takes on new color. Even when her mother reaches out from the grave in the guise of her attorney who threatens to take her home from her, Dru remains undaunted.As she gets deeper into the job, however, questions are raised about her oh so handsome co-worker - Justin. He is never seen in daylight, he doesn’t eat and there are no mirrors in the elegant Victorian they work in. Is she working with a vampire or just a guy with a quirky personality? And….if he is a vampire, is Dru ready to say bite me?
