Thirst — Charity Parkerson

In his twelve hundred years on earth, Baptiste has been called many things. Vampire. Voodoo Priest. Demon mate. They're all true.

Running a small voodoo shop in the heart of the French Quarter has given Baptiste something to do with his free time other than pine for the mate he never sees. While it's true he sells worthless trinkets to tourists, he's also been known to sell a real spell or two. As the child of a powerful Druid, Baptiste already knew all there was to know about the supernatural world before he willingly turned Vampire nearly twelve hundred years ago. Except, no one told him he'd fall in love with a demon one day and spend eternity living in hell.

Jonathan and his clan are enjoying some much-needed time off after dealing with their demon problems. It's Jonathan's bad luck he accidentally sees inside Baptiste's head during a visit. Now they're -- once again -- pulled into the drama of demons as they try to help Baptiste. But Baptiste doesn't need rescuing. In fact, he holds the key to saving them.
