Years. Hundreds of thousands. I'd been here longer then most relics in museums. I'd met her once. She passed me by. In her lilac gown, flowing down from her waist perfectly, the cute little bows attached to the chest. I was young then. Too young to know. About such a thing as love, but her. she made my heart throb, I never forgot seeing her beautiful face, her peach cheeks, and her luscious plump lips, I dreamt about her often, my friend said obssessed. but she was a mere human, someone to be looked at, but never touched, a princess at the time actually. I followed from afar for a short time, but she got married, and became a queen and made two beautiful children, but she wasnt mine. It has been many centuries up to now, I'd survived wars. I suppose that what being a vampire means, why I cant get close to mortals, they only get old fast, and then pass. Never to be seen again, it only brings suffering, but after millennia, she was there, at this little coffee shop, in the middle of my city. She was there, as beautiful as I remembered, I needed her, to take this chance. But we don't drink blood anymore, not since before even I was born. We absorb body energies, we can get what we need from a simple handshake, but I shouldn't go near her, should I? no I'm being silly, I cant, can I? no, no, stop being idiotic. Yet I found myself visiting every day, till well the day she finally noticed me. And till she became something she hated most. We had things good. But now things are....well difficult.

Lacey Martin has built her life around the familiarity of the local bar she manages...a home for her. Independent, headstrong, and content, she keeps her heart tucked away, aside from a few one-night stands. She stays around her close-knit crew, a family of regulars and friends. Her normal routine, however, is shattered by one night that changes everything.
When an old friend returns to town, Derek, with a group of friends, everything shifts dramatically in Lacey's world. Among his friends is Natalia, Derek's ex and a woman who will date men or women but finds herself drawn to Lacey. In one evening, both women are caught in an unexpected and powerful connection. This sparks an emotional and intense sensual escapade that forces Lacey to confront her feelings she didn't know existed.
As the aftershocks of the intimate encounter ripple into the following days, Lacey finds herself torn between her known life and the magnetic allure of a new, uncharted love. The intense bond with Natalia challenges everything Lacey once believed about herself, including her stance on relationships and her guarded view on love, forcing her to check boxes she's never known. For Natalia, the collision of her past, connected to the fame, fortune, and work she's put in, it's time for her to confront future possibilities. As old wounds and unresolved histories stir within their friend groups, loyalties are tested, and the support network of the bar becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror reflecting the complexities of love, desire, and self-acceptance.
"One Night Was All It Took" isn't just romance...it's an exploration of identity, the courage to defy preconceived limits, and that life can change in an instant. Witness the transformative power of one chance meeting that upends expectations and challenges the heart to live more fully and fearlessly. Every moment builds toward a future where love is less about definition, and instead of what we desire. And this is just book one. There are seven.
