Corinna Báthory, 16th-century nobility, is kidnapped and thrown into a male detective academy in present-day Florida. But they grabbed the wrong girl.

Season 1 of Agents of Time

*****

It's 1585, and things could not possibly be going any slower for Corinna Báthory. Overwhelmed with expectations as Hungarian nobility and the trials and tribulations of becoming a female playwright in a field dominated by men, Corinna would do anything for a change of pace. Of course, there's nothing better to speed up the narrative than being kidnapped...and being accused of being a serial killer.

The Night Reporter ✔ by Red_Harvey

Zeke, a reporter with schizo-affective paranoia, gets caught up in a vamp-motivated murder. Zeke's best work is drafted during "medicinal vacations," where he uses his condition to aid his writing process, short term memory be damned. However, the latest "vacation" dubs him a P.O.I. in the murder investigation of Carter (his rival colleague), and he's unsure if his intimacy with her was hallucination or reality. His there-again, gone-again friend August isn't much help, either. Zeke wonders why police don't follow the vamp-attack angle, considering Carter's wounds. The politically-correct vamp culture has rendered him unsympathetic. As the evidence mounts against him, Zeke struggles to use his journalistic skills in an effort to save himself. He discovers everyone else's secrets, including those of his parents and cousin Raffi, somehow intertwine with the investigation. Slowly, Zeke becomes his own worst enemy. *2018 Wattys Short List* *2024 On the Wattpad Action reading list! *On the Wattpad Stars "Star-Powered Thrillers" list!* *On the AntiHeroes Galore "Method in Madness" list!*

When he and Robin cross paths at a ball, they come to an arrangement that greatly benefits them both. She'll help him with the ton and he'll marry her, after which they can comfortably live their lives apart. But as they spend more time together, they find that close proximity has turned their ruse into reality.
