📖 About the Book

The Curse He Chose introduces Elizabeth, who stumbles into a battle between vampires and is forced on the run with Christopher, a troubled vampire outcast. As danger closes in, Elizabeth must rely on her faith—and Christopher’s choice to protect her—to survive. But can she help save him, too?

This riveting, genre-bending story blends urban fantasy with the Christian drama of sin, grace, and redemption.
