What Happens in Vegas, Bites

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, BITES

Paranormal Romance • Romantic Comedy • Urban Fantasy

Complete Duet • Tilly Brennan & Maddox Thorne • Same Couple Both Books • HFN → HEA

One drunken Vegas wedding. One four-hundred-year-old groom. Two books to prove that ‘til death do us part’ hits different when your husband is already dead.

 

In the neon-drenched chaos of Las Vegas, mortal event planner Tilly Brennan wakes up married to Maddox Thorne—a centuries-old vampire who is equal parts insufferable and irresistible. What begins as a catastrophic mistake becomes something far more dangerous when the vampire world takes notice: a mortal bride bound to one of their own, and a Claiming ritual that could either unite them or destroy them both.

For readers who want their paranormal romance sharp-tongued, neon-lit, and dripping with enough tension to outlast immortality.

 

Book 1 — So I Married a Vampire

“She woke up married to a vampire. He woke up married to a problem. Neither of them signed up for feelings.”

Tilly Brennan is a sharp-tongued event planner who came to Las Vegas to close a career-making deal—not to wake up with a marriage certificate, a splitting headache, and a husband with fangs.

Maddox Thorne is four hundred years old, lethally composed, and absolutely certain this marriage is a mistake. But when the vampire world discovers that a mortal has been bound to one of their own, annulment isn’t just complicated—it’s dangerous.

A road trip from Vegas to Maddox’s ancestral estate is supposed to sort the paperwork. Instead, it sorts out something far worse: they might actually like each other. With the ruthless Seraphina Cross circling for political advantage and the vampire Claiming ritual looming, the stakes climb fast.

Book 2 — Keeping My Vampire Husband

“The wedding was the easy part. Keeping him alive—and keeping herself human—is the real fight.”

Tilly Brennan-Thorne thought surviving a drunken Vegas marriage to a vampire was the hard part. She was wrong. When a severed hand arrives at the estate carrying a message meant for Maddox, it detonates a chain of events that drags Tilly into the deepest and most dangerous corners of vampire politics.

A stolen artifact—one tied to the Claiming ritual that bound them—is in the hands of Seraphina Cross, and recovering it means pulling off a vault heist that no mortal has any business attempting. But Tilly has never been good at staying where she’s put.

As the walls close in, Tilly faces a choice that can’t be undone: remain mortal and risk losing Maddox forever, or undergo the transformation and become something she never imagined.
