Be Still My Unbeating Heart: The sizzling Queer mystery-filled vampire romance, the perfect paranormal romcom for Autumn

THE NEW ADORABLE AND SPICY PARANORMAL ROMANCE FROM JOSH WINNING

Bastian may be a vampire, but he doesn’t bite.

. . . Not anymore, at least.

These days, Bastian just wants to live his best undead life: visit charming Italian villages, maybe dance in the square with a cute boy, all with Whitby, his best friend (and magical talking cat) by his side. What he doesn’t want? To stumble across a dead body on the beach, a girl who appears to have been killed by a vampire.

It wasn’t Bastian. He swears—on his own grave. But the local police chief doesn’t trust Bastian, or any vampire, for that matter, so he assigns detective Nico De Luca to keep an eye on him until his trial. And while Bastian normally wouldn’t complain about having a gorgeous, mysterious man by his side, he has more important things to worry about, because the police chief has called the Vampire Council, and if the real killer is still at large when they arrive, the whole town could be in danger.

As more bodies begin to pile up, Bastian, Whitby, and De Luca must get to the bottom of who in Vernazza is framing vampires, before it’s too late.

"Deliciously sexy, atmospheric and so much fun. Vampire fans will devour this one" —Amy McCaw, author of They Own the Night
