You'll want to sink your teeth in this one

Elena Armas

Love bites in this sexy new vampire romcom from the bestselling author of The Roommate and Fan Service

Gabriel Hargrave, vampire crown prince, should be sitting on a throne right now. Instead, he's been forced to live amongst humans until he proves he can control the thirst prophesied to bring about his destruction. And temptation's just come knocking...

Harper Calloway makes great television. Yet despite her brilliance, she's just been fired from Rare Pair: America's Most Exceptional Dating Experiment. Desperate to get back on the show, Harper stumbles on the perfect solution: the vampire next door.

The problem? Gabriel doesn't fit the dark and dangerous fantasy of a vampire prince; the only thing he's got less experience with than dating is drinking blood. If Harper wants to make a hit of the first vampire on a reality dating show - she's certainly got her work cut out for her. After all, someone has to be his first bite...
