Young Blood

The Great Gatsby now has teeth. Dracula has a red light on the dock. This is Young Blood.

Nathanael Holloway came to New Underwood to sell real estate and visit his cousin. He did not plan on the parties across the lawn, the music that carried over the bay at midnight, or to fall in love with a man who had been waiting nine hundred years to find him.

Count Gideon Drexley has lived for centuries but has loved exactly twice. The first one died. The second one is a real estate agent from next door with good cheekbones and a dangerous habit of asking questions. He can tell Nathanael the truth, or he can keep him. He does not believe he gets both.

Dulcie Helbrook married well and has regretted it for six years. The only things keeping her standing are her cousin Nathanael, her Texan lover, and a husband too occupied with his mistress to notice his wife disappearing by inches. But something has started calling her across the bay at night, and she has stopped being able to refuse it.

Quilla Mae Barlow is a sharpshooter from Texas who has been engaged to Nathanael for three years and in love with his cousin Dulcie for five. When something sinister comes to collect on Dulcie Helbrook, Quilla Mae intends to shoot first and ask questions later.

Young Blood is a novel of two impossible love affairs colliding in a city built on blood money and old wealth. A reimagining of The Great Gatsby and Dracula about the kind of love that asks you to be braver than you have ever been, softer than you have ever let yourself be, and honest about who the real monsters were all along.
