Driving Mr. Dead

the long version

A standalone novella introducing a new side of Half Moon Hollow -- featuring a freewheeling courier and the stuffy vampire she has to transport. Miranda Puckett has failed at every job she's ever had. Her mother just wants her to come home, join the family law firm, and settle down with Jason, the perfect lawyer boyfriend. But when Jason turns out to be a lying cheater, Miranda seizes on a job that gets her out of town: long-distance vampire transportation. Her first assignment is to drive vampire Collin Sutherland from Washington to sleepy Half Moon Hollow without incident -- no small feat for a woman whom trouble seems to follow like a faithful hound dog! And she has to do it without letting her passenger -- the most persnickety, stuffy, devastatingly handsome vamp she's ever met -- drive her crazy. As she and Collin find disaster on the roads, they also find an undeniable spark between them. Could Miranda have found the perfect job and the perfect guy for her?
