Road Trip with a Vampire
A vampire who can’t remember his past and a witch with secrets of her own hit the road in this zany, cross-country romantic comedy from beloved author Jenna Levine.
Reformed bad witch Grizelda “Zelda” Watson had hoped to never see another vampire again when she slipped away to sunny California for a fresh start. She'd grown tired of them and their nonsense ages ago. But when a vampire with amnesia unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep with a letter from her old friend Reggie, and asks for her help, she can’t say no. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Peter Elliott is tall and gorgeous, looks great in yoga shorts, and has the kind of dark hair and surly expression Zelda’s been a sucker for for hundreds of years.
Peter isn’t completely harmless—he is fanged, after all—but he’s harmless enough, and soon becomes the only person in Zelda’s new life who knows the truth about what she is. If she can help him decipher the cryptic notes in his journal, the only clues to his lost memories, she might as well try before sending him on his way.
But when an alarming message from Peter's past coincides with a clear sign that Zelda can't keep running from her own, they embark on a cross-country road trip for answers—only to find what they're looking for in each other.

Cozy Pairings

Vanilla & Cashmere is a soft and luxurious fragrance that blends creamy vanilla with warm sandalwood, gentle musk, and smooth cashmere notes. Subtle and refined, this scent feels clean, comforting, and quietly indulgent. The warmth of vanilla is balanced by light woods and soft musk, creating a smooth, layered aroma that lingers beautifully without overpowering. It brings a sense of calm and ease to any space, like wrapping yourself in something soft at the end of the day.
Why we chose this: A vampire who speaks like a Regency novel and leaves heartmelting notes around the apartment. A centuries-old romantic who is entirely too charming for anyone's peace of mind. A reformed bad witch and a vampire with amnesia on a cross-country road trip looking for answers. These are funny, warm, genuinely tender stories about humans and vampires falling for each other in the most inconvenient circumstances, where the vampires turn out to be surprisingly sweet and domestic and the love that builds between them feels entirely, quietly real. Vanilla + Cashmere carries the soft, enveloping warmth of a series this good-natured and genuinely swoony, quietly indulgent and impossible to resist. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood fill the room like a Chicago apartment where the roommate is definitely a vampire, the notes he leaves are devastatingly thoughtful, and the feelings are getting completely out of hand.
