Moonstruck: The Cat's Meow by Colleen Shannon, an age-of-sail historical witchly-elements romance novella which was probably originally published in a Dorchester anthology, as Shannon is a former Love Spell author who invokes the Dorchester name in vain while filling out the publisher info for her backlist reprints, which I find no fault with, considering how the company treated its authors before it finally imploded.
A story about the magic of Halloween, good witches and bad, and the idealistic clipper captain in an age of steam who falls in love with a cat (and he's never liked cats). He will be the only one to save his lovely Kat by the stroke of midnight on Halloween from the black witch's curse and in the process he'll find the love of his life and realize his dreams of captaining his own clipper ship.
And speaking of authors who will probably soon get to invoke their former publishers' names in vain:

Redeemer of Shadows by Michelle M. Pillow, an Ellora's Cave author, 1st in her dark epic Tribes of the Vampire series of paranormal romances (may be on the erotic side). This is a self-pub from her author's consortium imprint, but if you've tried her stuff from Ellora before and liked it and want to pursue a potential way of supporting the author which doesn't involve them, well, this installment is free. I admit, I like her helpful disclaimer for the Gentle Reader with particular preferences, although I was hoping it would be more of a Samhain-style humorous warning.
As a fierce and undeniable destiny pulls them together, vampiric forces beyond their control conspire to tear them apart.
A dark night, a wrong turn, and Hathor Vinceti stumbles into a sinister London underworld that will change her life—forever. Reality as she knows it shatters as she is exposed to the self-seeking indulgences of a group of bored vampires, but also a mystery man who calls to her across the ages.
Servaes, the Marquis de Normant, survives immortality with a barely restrained hostility against the vampire who sired him, and the young ones who abuse their power. Eternity has never seemed so endless, until Hathor catches his eye.
Warning: This book is an epic vampire tale with very dark themes, evil vampires, and no sparkles. If you like dark and slightly twisted (in a good way), you’ll like these. Contains explicit language and graphic violence. If you don't like a long epic plot, this is not the series for you.
