Side by side, we walk through the moonlit grass on our way back to the house. Wiping my sweaty face with my hand, I release a deep breath. He looks little worse for wear, but he’s a vampire. Still, I\u2019m glad to see he’s sweating, too, and by his contemplative look, he’s got something to say.<\/p>\n Or should I say something more<\/em> to say. He had a lot of tips for me during our practice, but I’m accustomed to honest criticism, and he’s not nearly as picky as Lucas.<\/p>\n “I enjoyed that session,” he says. “You’re more advanced than I expected, but I should have known that Lucas doesn’t brag about just anyone.”<\/p>\n “He bragged about me?” This shocks me. Lucas is kind but stern and doesn’t give compliments easily.<\/p>\n Daniel grins. He’s so handsome when he smiles. He should do it more often. “Oh yes. He thinks a lot of you, Shauna.”<\/p>\n “I\u2019m glad. Thank you for the lesson.”<\/p>\n “It’s my pleasure. I hope we’ll do it often.”<\/p>\n “That’s a little difficult with you living here and me living in New York.”<\/p>\n “Then you’ve decided not to stay for a visit?”<\/p>\n “I\u2014I haven’t thought much more about it.” That’s a lie. I wanted to stay the moment he offered, but I’m still not sure if he’s just being polite. “I enjoyed training with your swords. Someday, when I can afford you, I hope you’ll make one for me.”<\/p>\n “One penny.”<\/p>\n I raise an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”<\/p>\n “Pay me one penny, and I’ll be honored to make you a sword.”<\/p>\n “I couldn’t possibly\u2014”<\/p>\n “Shauna, five years ago\u2014the way I acted when I left was rude. I would like to make a sword for you.”<\/p>\n We stop walking and face each other in the moonlight.<\/p>\n Daniel \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Reared by the master swordsmith who taught me his craft, I\u2019ve dedicated my life to forging steel. I never thought about the occult, until a foreign man with unimaginable power stops at my home and forge. He takes me to Japan where I study under an ancient swordsmith. Nothing and no one, especially a woman, can tear me away from my craft, or so I think. While visiting New York City in 1927, I meet Shauna, and everything changes.<\/p>\n Shauna \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Working the streets with only my abusive pimp Jack to look out for me is no way to live, but I don\u2019t have much choice. When a rich weirdo takes me to a ritzy hotel and offers me a way out, I\u2019m not sure what to do. Then he shows up at Jack\u2019s juice joint with tall, gorgeous Daniel whose mixed messages make my head spin. Can a vampire swordsmith fall in love with a former pro skirt, or is all his heat only in the forge?<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Shauna\u2019s Silver Swordsmith is a short vampire romance with a stubborn hero, a resilient heroine, historical settings, some spice, violence, and a HEA.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Shaunas-Silver-Swordsmith200x300.jpg\")
