About Once Bitten, Twice Mine:
Caroline Blythe's family has struggled through scandalous marriage, crumbling estate, and dwindling fortune, but she can fix it all with an advantageous marriage. Everything is going perfectly to plan until Lady Valeria--the woman who broke her heart eight years ago--crashes her engagement party.
Valeria is confident, bold, and somehow even more beautiful, but she's also dangerous--and not just for Caroline's impending marriage. As an unknown entity attacks both her home and village, Caroline tries to fight it, even as all signs point to Valeria being the one behind the carnage.
With the town doctor convinced a vampire is hunting them and Caroline convinced it's Valeria, can she do what she must to save her village, even if it means betraying the only person she's ever loved?

About Jeanne De Vita:
While working in acquisitions and as a developmental editor for traditional publishers and freelance clients, Jeanne has edited hundreds of aspiring and established authors, including NYT, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestsellers. After more than a decade working with stories at various stages of the publishing cycle, including teaching both writing and editing at the college level, Jeanne brings a strong editorial vision and passion for the publishing industry to her clients. She is excited by strong voices and compelling stories across the sub-genres of fiction, with a specific interest in romance, fantasy, thrillers/mysteries/suspense, horror, and speculative fiction.
She has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Notre Dame and a BA in English from Iowa State University. Jeanne’s love for happy-ever-afters started in childhood, as her mother was a traditionally published romance author who wrote across genres over her two-decade-long career in publishing. Jeanne is committed to developing diverse voices and has run pro bono mentorships for underrepresented authors. Jeanne has volunteered extensively with medically fragile children, the arts, and survivors of gender-based violence. Jeanne is excited to discover new talent and to work with established authors searching for a caring, informed, and supportive advocate.
