Beguiled by Night: A Vampire Tale

A queer, centuries-old vampire. A fracture in time. A chance to rewrite his bloody past—or be consumed by it.

Vauquelin has lived too long. Born an aristocrat in 17th-century France, one fateful accident—a single broken carriage wheel—forever binds him to an immortal existence of beauty, hunger, and regret. After centuries of self-exile, he flees to America, hiding in the glittering sprawl of Los Angeles. But when time itself begins to unravel, Vauquelin finds himself falling backward through history—adrift in the wreckage of his own sins.

Each revisted-era drags him closer to the ghosts he thought he’d buried: a lost love, a shattered faith, and the monstrous appetites that once defined him. His modern existence dissolves into memory, and the fragile peace he’s built begins to bleed away.

As he hurtles toward the cobblestoned streets of old Paris, Vauquelin must face the brutal truth of what he’s become—and the man he once was. But within the chaos of his collapsing timelines, something unexpected flickers to life: hope.

To seize it, he must make an impossible choice. Will he embrace the darkness that made him immortal—or risk everything for the faint promise of redemption?

Perfect for readers of Anne Rice and V.E. Schwab, Beguiled by Night is a lush, time-bending gothic romance about love, damnation, and the high cost of eternal life.
