âTwas the night before Christmas, but whatâs stirring is a little more dangerous than a mouse.
Taviano is nearly two hundred years old and never wakes in the same place twice. Weary and jaded, the vampire still indulges in memories of childhood Christmases in Naples. He lingers in shadow, spying on mortals as they enjoy the holiday.
When Taviano spots a handsome young man in Boston loaded down with presents and about to be mugged, he canât help but intervene. Soon heâs talking to joyous, naĂŻve, strong-willed and funny Paul, a short-order cook who raised funds to buy Christmas presents for LGBTQ children. Before he knows whatâs happened, Taviano is wrapped up in Paulâs arms and then in his schemes to get the presents delivered by Christmas morning.
