“If my destruction is the thing that makes her happy… Then shatter me completely.”
You know how people always say everyone is special in their own way? Right. Everyone but me.I’ve always been completely ordinary and perfectly plain. Even my name is boring: Christina Miller. Nothing sets me apart, and all I have is my mom, a mountain of debt, and a job at an escape room. On my first day as manager, the whole thing seems to be coming down around me.
Until a mysterious stranger offers his help. But underneath his calm, polite exterior lies a heart familiar with darkness and death, and I’m faced with a decision that only I can make: Do I accept that side of him, or lose all of him?

Until I met her. Until the fire in her soul sparked something in mine that I thought I lost a long time ago.
Yet, I can never tell her who I am. What I am.
I am Jonathan Langdon, and I am the great-grandson and the only known living male descendant of the First Ever Vampire, Ambrogio, cursed to a life eternal by the sun-god Apollo. And I’ve always felt that way, cursed, until she looked in my eyes and saw my soul.
But what would she do if she ever learned the truth? Will she run, or will she stand up and embrace the Night?
When my enemy gets a little too close, we may just find out… Whether I want to or not.
“I will raze this city to the ground and dance with my queen among the burning ruins.”
An Excerpt from Heir Undeniable
I honked the horn and slammed on the brakes, brakes squealing, tires screeching across the tarmac as my Escalade skidded to a stop right in front of her. I nearly ran her over! Is she insane?
How preoccupied could one person be? Did she have a fucking death wish?
Then she looked up… and glared daggers at me…?. And she had the gall to yell at me.
I took a deep breath before I got out of the car.
Only a few inches over 5 feet, she was by no means the tallest woman I had ever encountered, and when I met her at the escape room, my initial thought was that she was too tiny to cause trouble. But as she was standing in front of me now, anger and defiance seething from her every pore like a wet Gremlin, I was reminded exactly how deceiving looks can be: This one was made of dynamite and pixie dust.
She was the one breaking the law and jaywalking, but there she was, spewing fire at me for nearly running her over, and I was holding on to my temper by a thread. The balls on her, 5 feet of fury, accusing me of not watching where I was going, when she was the one walking into traffic. Unbelievable.
She insisted that I should have seen her. How the hell was I supposed to do that when her head barely cleared the hood of my SUV? She was fucking maddening, and the more she challenged me, argued with me, yelled at me by the side of the road, the more she fanned the flame burning in my chest.
“Because you are the object of my every desire. You are all I can think of. My every waking moment is consumed my by thougts of you. I crave you in the dead of night. I want to have you, to own you, body and soul.”
Hannah James has always loved telling stories. She started writing in high school, jotting down stories in a notebook between classes and passing it around between her friends. She stopped writing in 2009 and only picked it up again in 2021 when her aunt was diagnosed with cancer. Her favorite thing about writing and telling stories is seeing the different emotions that a bunch of words in a sentence can awaken in people, and she doesn’t plan on stopping until anytime soon. Currently, she lives in South Korea with her husband. When she isn’t writing, editing or reading some toe-curling spicy romance, she teaches English at a private academy.
Q&A With Hannah James
What was the inspiration for this book?
- I wanted to read a vampire romance where the vampires were more than just blood and hate and violence. So I wrote one. That, and I watched ‘The Covenant’ with Steven Strait and at the time I thought his character, Caleb Danvers, was just the swooniest of swoon.
What comes first for you: the title or the story?
- For this one in particular, the title came kinf of at the same time as the story idea. As the story developed, the title also ended up changing
Speaking of titles, how did you come up with your book’s title?
- It came to me in a vision. Kidding, but not really. If memory serves I heard it somewhere and I thought it would be a good title for a book.
Are you a planner or a pantster?
- I’m Klaus, I’m a hybrid. I plan the basic outline, and then I pants the heck out of the rest.
How long did it take you to write this beauty?
- From when I started writing until I finished the first book of the trilogy, maybe two months. The editing, proofreading and cover art took a few months longer, and in that time I also wrote the other two books of the trilogy.
What did you learn about yourself while writing this book?
- That it’s okay to let go, and to put parts of yourself down paper. I didn’t know how therapeutic writing can be until I wrote this.
Obviously, this book is absolutely perfect, but what would you like to improve on as a writer in general?
- Sometimes the flow of my stories need some work. I’d like to work on linking chapters and scenes a bit better. I also would like to improve my consistency in terms of sitting down to write every day. I’ want to make more time for that.
What do you want people to take away from your book?
- A smile. A squeal. Maybe a quote or two.
What do you love most about this book?
- Defintily the family relationships between the characters and their loved ones. A few of the relationships are based on ones I have had and lost in my life, some represent relationships that I have now, and others are what I want to have.
Lastly, what do you want to say to your potential readers?
- Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and read these words that I have written down. I am honored that you took a chance on my book-baby, even more so if you ended up liking it. As my MMC would say, Moonlight bless you and keep you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
