Make Yourself Useful

Pearl Spice is the only daughter of a vampire hunter and doctor of the occult. Her life is simple, and her future is certain. She is to be the humble and loving wife of her father’s protégé, Aubrey Darvell, and live the rest of her days in domestic bliss under God. But one night, her betrothed assaults her in her own bed, and Pearl learns that her world had, in fact, been unspeakably delicate. With her so-called loved ones denying the event, Pearl rushes into the arms of Ianthe Zannouli, a strange foreigner who waltzes around in men’s clothing. With Ianthe, Pearl finds herself changing bit-by-bit. Soon enough she falls headfirst into her new friend's shadowy world of vice, drink, and pleasures of their own sex. Pearl makes a dangerous gamble: opening her window to a vampire that comes into her home and uses her as it wishes. But, of course, these two things have nothing to do with each other.
