The Searchers is a completed series of gaslamp fantasy romance novellas, where the vampires aren’t the good or hot guys.
Maximilian Sterling has spent his life doing what he wants, when he wants, until he receives a summons home: his uncle has been murdered, found drained of blood in a London alleyway, and Max must return to England to settle his affairs. It can’t hurt to have one last night to himself with a charming Parisienne… who unfortunately turns out to be a vampire, and is looking forward to having Max for supper.
American vampire hunter Ada Burgess just wanted to take a much-needed holiday. Yet duty won’t let her ignore the bloodsuckers leaving a trail of destruction across Europe long enough to sightsee, including one trying to lure a delectable Englishman to his gory demise. But saving Max Sterling means having yet more problems to solve. Why was Max’s uncle murdered by vampires? What do they want with Max? And does a devoted monster hunter like her have a chance at happiness with a wealthy bon vivant?
Edgar Burgess has devoted his life to keeping New York free of vampires, and is usually successful at sensing and staking them… at least until the night his beautiful next door neighbor and unrequited love is enthralled and kidnapped by one. Finding Molly McKillip becomes his life’s focus at the expense of everything else.
Molly has always liked the rambunctious Burgess family, especially Edgar, and never thought she would see them again after being lured away from her home by a monster. Edgar’s rescuing her from a vampire den is a shocking and unexpected surprise, and it’s only the first one he has to deliver. Hearing him pour his heart out to her is the second. But before they can sort through their feelings for each other, they have one thing standing in their way: the vampire that’s still stalking Molly.

Samuel Seecombe hasn’t been himself since a routine vampire hunt went horribly awry, and a trip to New York for an acquaintance’s wedding might be just what he needs to move on. What he doesn’t anticipate is meeting his beautiful vampire hunting counterpart in Violet Singer.
Violet wants a change of scenery. News of a vampire infestation at the Canadian border has her packing her stake, mallet, and holy water to take care of her wanderlust and the bloodsuckers at the same time. Samuel—a quiet, mysterious Englishman who can wield a stake like no one else—accompanying her is an unexpected gift.
But Niagara Falls isn’t just for lovers and newlyweds. Vampires are increasing their ranks, and Violet and Samuel may find themselves outnumbered before they can sort out their feelings for each other…
