      Chapter One

      Whoever said that vampires don't age was a liar. If that were the case, Valerie's husband wouldn't have left her for that vamp tramp Zena.

      And to think, she had helped Simon hire Zena as a lawyer with his Silicon Valley firm. Zena's aunt who was friend of hers from the gym begged Valerie to help her out. Zena had been out of law school for a couple years and she was temping as an admin assistant. She had a ton of debt and no real work experience as a lawyer.

      Valerie never thought that Zena would be a threat. Sure, she was young. 228 years old to be exact. And she had long thick red hair, green eyes and perfect white teeth.

      But she was a big girl. No, the truth was Zena was fat. The girl must have weighed at least 200 pounds and she was only about 5'5". But Simon didn't seem to mind. He was all into Zena's 38 double Ds.

      And her stupid giggles. Plus, Zena was quite talented with her mouth. And that had nothing to do with her ability to argue cases.

      Valerie's divorce became final a few weeks ago. It was about time that she met someone new. Someone who liked women his own age. Someone who could make her laugh.

      After being off the dating market for the past two hundred years, Valerie took out an online ad on a site for mature vampires, who were 400 years old and older.
