a warm MM monster romance

Editions:ePubPaperback

What if the only boy you ever truly loved was taken from you by a monster?

Leopold the Lonely Vampire is a queer gothic drama that begins in Gold Rush-era San Francisco, where 17-year-old Leopold Beringer, a gay heir to a wealthy closeted Italian (Beratelli) family fortune, hides his forbidden romance with Li, a Chinese boy escaping racial violence and forced labor. But when a mysterious figure murders Li and turns Leopold into a vampire, his world collapses. Thrust into an immortal life filled with loss, secrecy, and slow-burning sorrow, Leopold searches for meaning and love in a world that keeps moving on without him. Spanning over a century and a half, his story weaves together chosen family, accidental tragedy, hope for reincarnation, and a timeless search for a second chance he’s not sure he’ll ever get.

Perfect for fans of Interview with the Vampire, The Song of Achilles, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and even a little bit of Twilight thrown in, this is a lush, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful gothic warm mm romance that spans centuries and defies fate.

Two boys. One bitten. One lost. A love story that refuses to stay buried.

About the Author

Not seeing myself on TV, movies, or in books when I grew up, I wanted to create characters I could relate to. I want someone growing up and questioning everything about themselves to see someone like them in my stories. I hope these characters mean as much to you as they do to me.

I've recently discovered the world of BL - boys love dramas - mostly Asian, with my favorites coming from Thailand. Watching these dramas with 2 boys in love at the center of the stories is so refreshing to see. I would have love to seen this kind of representation when I was young!

Summary:

Hunter

Not every stag is bold enough to break up a wolf fight, but when I saw who was being attacked, I had to step in. I've had a thing for the sweet young wolf for months, and if that wasn't temptation enough, he's right on the edge of his heat. I told myself years ago that I'd never take another Omega to my bed, but Soren has me breaking all my rules. One night won't hurt, right?

Soren

Of course, the Alpha that saves me from my deranged uncle has to be the yummy older guy I've been crushing on for months. And apparently, the feeling's mutual. But the best night of my life turns into a nightmare when I realize I'm pregnant. Hunter made it clear that he doesn't want a child--or a mate for that matter--but he's the only Alpha I've ever trusted...
