Debut author Nadia Diament brings us a one of a kind paranormal romantic comedy,
BLOODSUCKING LAWYER. For Emma, working for a vampire lawyer wasn't part of the plan
...and neither was falling for him. Fans of FBI/US Attorney series by Julie James and Kresley
Cole’s Immortals After Dark series will devour this slow-burn, sexy yet humorous office romance.
Emma left her career in corporate law to pursue her passion for criminal defense, but she can’t seem to catch a break. So when she lands an interview at a small law firm, she’s more than thrilled. But she has no idea what she’s in for.
Turns out it’s not just any law firm, and Henry—her new boss—isn’t exactly, well…human.
Apparently he drinks blood instead of coffee, and his client list consists of creatures that go
bump in the night. But, the way Emma sees it, if she can get through law school, she can
handle a few pothead werewolves and shoplifting witches. So she stays.
There’s just one thing she didn’t count on, and that’s catching feelings for her new vampire
boss. Henry and his fangs become a temptation too hard to ignore, and no matter how hard
she tries, she still falls for him.
Problem is, everyone knows office romances have the tendency to crash and burn.
But when your boss is a bloodsucking lawyer, odds are it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

It never hurt to have someone owe you a favor.
Emma walked away from them with a smirk. “Come on, you don’t want to be late.”
The two men scurried after her and slipped into one of the elevators just in time for the doors
to promptly close behind them. The sunburned lawyer jabbed the button for the third floor and
adjusted his bag on his shoulder.

“Thank you. I really appreciate it.” The sincerity in his voice made her look up in time to see
his smile.
his smile.
Emma returned the gesture but blinked in surprise when she realized that even with the
sunburn, the dude in a suit was attractive. Not just Tucson attractive, but legitimately attractive.
She’d been too distracted earlier to take a proper look. Deep blue eyes and artfully tousled
brown hair. Given the sunburn, he was obviously pale, but she couldn’t exactly judge when
she worked in an office all day and hadn’t had a proper tan since college.

He was tall and lean, and a three-piece charcoal suit accentuated his form with grace. As a
lawyer, she should’ve been immune to the precision of a tailored suit by now, but he wore
his so damn well. She’d been deprived since moving back to Tucson, whose general
population relied on a steady supply of t-shirts and shorts. She had to admit, though,
that she would happily take Tucson’s casual vibe; Phoenix’s conservative concrete jungle
had worn her out.

The elevator pinged as the doors slid open, startling Emma out of her reverie. Now was
not the time to be checking this guy out. She would do him this favor, then see if he had
connections at any criminal defense firms. But nothing else—no personal stuff. She needed
a steady paycheck before she could get lost in the mire of dating. Her student loan bills
routinely gave her heart palpitations.

They hurried through the courthouse and finally tracked down the right room. As Emma
approached, she realized she didn’t know the dude in the suit’s name.

She extended her hand for him to shake. “I’m Emma, by the way.”
“Henry.” His grip was firm, confident, and warm.
Emma didn’t put much stock in the notion that a handshake defined a person,
but she could definitely appreciate the feel of his. She was reluctant to let go
but eventually did, bound by lame societal expectations and all that.

Apparently oblivious to her inappropriate staring, he fished through the inner pocket
of his suit for a business card and a fountain pen. He scrawled something on
the back, waved it dry, and handed the card to her. “My cell phone number.”

Emma ran her fingers back and forth across the textured linen paper. Mercifully,
Wendell kept her from saying or doing something stupid—like asking Henry out for drinks.

“Er, yes. Nice to meet you, Ms. Emma. Can we go in now?”
“Of course,” she said with an encouraging smile.
Emma pulled the door open for Henry’s client and slipped inside after him. As the door
started to shut, she turned back to look at Henry. Warmth suffused her when he pressed
his hands together in prayer and mouthed a single word to her:
