A delightful e-short story from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katie MacAlister, featuring the vampire hero of her novella “Shades of Gray,” from the Pocket Books paranormal romance anthology The Undead in My Bed.

Ladies, be sure to catch our interview with the reclusive, oh-so-sexy Dark One Grayson Soucek, when he talks to our reporter about what it’s like to be one of the Otherworld’s most eligible (and titled!) bachelors. Gray dishes all on what he’s looking for in a permanent blood donor, his turn-ons and turn-offs, and what he likes on a date (hint—dinner in a romantic dungeon is one way to this vampire’s heart). It’s all in our next edition of Lifestyles of the Rich and Undead!
