In which Clydie learns a lesson about looking beneath the surface to take the measure of a man…or vampire.

On this Christmas Eve, Clydie Harmon is determined to sneak away from her parents’ party to meet her young man’s train. Prowling vampires make it much too dangerous to walk, so when her father’s assistant Lucas Storm offers to drive her, she grudgingly accepts. It’s a good thing, too. Nothing turns out the way Clydie has planned, and when she interrupts a pair of vampires in mid-attack, Mr. Storm’s timely assist keeps her from having a very un-merry Christmas.
