Broken Heart, Oklahoma follows Michele Bardsley's single mother after she is turned into a vampire and pulled into the secret supernatural community running a small Oklahoma town. Told through a growing ensemble cast across more than a dozen books, the series pairs paranormal romance with a knowingly comic domestic tone as more vampires, werewolves, and townsfolk keep complicating its central family's life. It ran from the mid-2000s into a long-running series with spin-off novellas and box sets built around the same cast.
