title: Betting on Julia
author: Croft, Nina
description: Small, blonde, bubbly, and with a penchant for all things pink, Julia Melville has always considered herself a nice girl - until she was attacked by a werewolf. Months later, and still in total denial, Julia spends the time between full moons fantasizing that her life is normal. And who could be better to help her with that than her new neighbor, handsome accountant, Sebastian Crane. For two hundred years, Sebastian, a powerful warlock, has been possessed by a demon. Each day, his soul grows darker, and he knows that soon he will be beyond salvation. But the demon loves to gamble, and he's made Bastian one final bet-get a good woman to say the words "I love you" and he'll be free. Julia wants a normal guy. Bastian needs a good woman. Maybe together they can find something far more valuable...redemption.
