Description

No romantic story has ever lived up to Dr. Clementine Hughes's reality but at least he has his two-million-word fanfic and a prestigious research position at Vitalis-Barron Pharmaceuticals, where their benefits are superb and their experimentation on vampires highly unethical. When a mysterious accident turns Clementine into a vampire, his growing thirst forces him to the streets to hunt. Justin Yu is usually the one attacking villains in alleys. After the tragedy he brought upon his local vampiric community in his youth, he's struggled tirelessly to keep their vampires safe. So when a panicking Clementine botches a bite attempt, Justin takes pity-and advantage-and offers the vampire a trade: his blood in exchange for an exorbitant fee. In desperation, Clementine accepts. Justin's blood is bland and unappealing, but the more Clementine learns to appreciate the man's sharp humor and persistent compassion, the more he acquires a taste for Justin. Justin is determined not to let Clementine's good looks and thoughtful intellect distract him as hunters from Vitalis-Barron close in on Justin's neighborhood, and it turns out someone there knows Clementine's secret . . . Contains mature themes.
