Synopsis
It’s New Year in Bon Temps, Louisiana a time when most people would be out partying but not cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse. She has to work. Its a few weeks since she had to take time off from work to go and rescue her cheating vampire boyfriend Bill from the clutches of his evil ex-girlfriend and she desperately needs to earn some money to pay her bills. She was happy to work New Years Eve because having just split up with Bill she didn’t have any party plans. It was a busy night and she was looking forward to going home, counting her tips and sleeping.
However her night didn’t end the way she’d planned as she finds a half naked Eric running down the road on her way home from work. She stops to see what’s up and once again gets pulled into vampire business.
Eric has been cursed by a witch, who wants to take over his business holdings, and is suffering from amnesia as a result. The vampires can’t let Eric be found by the witches who want to capture him so badly that they have posted a $50,000 reward for information on his whereabouts. They need somewhere to hide him, somewhere the witches would never think of looking – Sookie’s house seems the perfect place. Sookie’s brother Jason makes a deal with the vampires that Sookie will look after Eric for $35,000. She needs the money so she agrees to keep Eric safe for a few days while the vampires find the witches and make them remove the curse from Eric.
Initially Sookie fears that getting drawn into vampire business is going to end up with her being beaten up again, a realistic fear, as that is what has happened on every previous occasion. However it soon becomes apparent to her that she has more to fear than physical pain. Eric with amnesia is a completely different vampire. He can’t remember that he is a womanising flirt and powerful vampire leader. He’s still sexy but he’s vulnerable, gentle and sweet too. This time Sookie’s heart might be a risk of being broken….
