Jane Austen Novelist . . . gentlewoman . . . Damned, Fanged, and Dangerous to know.

Aspiring writer Jane Austen knows that respectable young
ladies like herself are supposed to shun the Damned—the
beautiful, fashionable, exquisitely seductive vampires who
are all the rage in Georgian England in 1797. So when an
innocent (she believes) flirtation results in her being
turned—by an absolute cad of a bloodsucker—she acquiesces to
her family’s wishes and departs for Bath to take the waters,
the only known cure.

But what she encounters there is completely unexpected:
perilous jealousies and further betrayals, a new friendship
and a possible love. Yet all that must be put aside when the
warring French invade unsuspecting Bath—and the streets run
red with good English blood. Suddenly only the staunchly
British Damned can defend the nation they love . . . with
Jane Austen leading the charge at the battle’s forefront.
