Never Before Noon
All Chloe Hart’s nightmares end like this: She is lured home to the seat of the Court of Cruelty, ruled by her parents, rock legends Sebastian and Emilie de la Coeur. But this is no dream. After 13 years away, Chloe learns they are vampires, and have been since before she was born. She has his dark hair, her green eyes and artistic ways. Yet no fangs, no blood thirst, no trouble with the rays of the rising sun.
Is that just for now, or forever?
Is Chloe a vampire too?
Praise for Never Before Noon
“Sex, lust and rock-and-roll … who wouldn’t want to follow along with the band of dark misfits that is Chloe Hart, her strange but lovingly mysterious parents, Sebastian and Emilie de la Coeur, and their musical Court of Cruelty? In Chloe, readers will identify with a feisty heroine desperate to open the tomb on her personal history and that of her – wait, vampiric? – family. In Jackson Fahey, a reporter-turned-investigator, we fall for an impetuous, handsome daredevil who can’t quite turn away from his own bloodlust. Is there any more guilty a pleasure?”
―Erin Arvedlund, author of “Too Good To Be True” and “Open Secret”
The Readers Speak: Never Before Noon Weaves a Spell
“Every once in awhile, you have to take time out to read a great vampire novel. “Never Before Noon” is exactly that. Exotic locales, bodice ripping galore, and well-drawn characters that range from the most innocent to the darkest of souls. All that woven into a tightly written, fast-paced tale of mystery. Can’t wait for the sequel.”
“I was pulled into the story right away. There are many vampire books, some that are not so good. But this one kept me riveted to the end.”
“Unexpected! Family, discovery and secrets; pay attention – it’s not what you think.”
“Layers of mystery and intrigue”
“This book was awesome!!! Read it in a day, can’t wait for book 2!!!”
A very action packed story. Rock n Roll and Vamps a perfect combination.”

Never Until Now
Chloe Hart can’t escape her birthright. Not the celebrity spotlight cast on her as the daughter of the much-mourned Sebastian and Emilie de la Coeur, rock monarchs of the Court of Cruelty. Certainly not the horror her father has unleashed in the months since her parents faked their suicides. If she stands loyal to them and her vampire heritage, does Chloe relinquish her humanity? Does she betray everyone she cherishes?
Praise for Never Until Now
“The second book in Joanne McLaughlin’s vampire trilogy starts with a woman on a train with a hemorrhaging man who relishes her company nearly as much as she thrives on his near-fatal wounds, then hurtles toward an ending that leaves the reader hungry for more. Chloe Hart’s struggles to reconcile her new life with her love for Jackson Fahey unfolds in a plot as intricate and compelling as the fantastical tapestries at Castle de la Coeur.”
― Gwen Florio, author of “Silent Hearts” and the Lola Wicks mysteries
Never More Human
Sweeping away the financial mess her father left behind is a breeze compared to navigating the emotional storm her mother unleashes. Duty to family? Chloe Hart, daughter of rock legends/vampires Sebastian and Emilie de la Coeur, has had just about enough.
Praise for Never More Human
NEVER MORE HUMAN, the much-anticipated third book in Joanne McLaughlin’s vampire trilogy, brings us back into the compelling world of the Court of Cruelty as Chloe Hart is on the verge of selling a family estate, one more step in severing ties with her toxic forebears. When fate intervenes, Chloe must protect not only herself but those she loves from the danger she faces. NEVER MORE HUMAN features the sizzling eroticism of its predecessors and ramps the tension even higher. Perhaps best of all, the ending teases another in this series that has the bingeable lure of a modern-day Bridgerton infused with the blood of vampires.
— Gwen Florio, author of “Best Laid Plans,” “Silent Hearts” and the Lola Wicks mysteries
“An extremely satisfying conclusion A perfect stand alone but fitting ending to characters we’ve come to know and (well, not always love, but that run you through the gambit of all your emotions). Sad to see it end, but the series goes out without ever losing its original passion.”
