A Cruel Thirst

A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together--against their better judgment--to rid the world of monsters in this irresistible romantic fantasy.

Carolina Fuentes is determined to prove to her father that she makes a better slayer than wife. He wants her married and safe from the bloodthirsty vampiros plaguing their pueblo. She wants to kill un vampiro to prove herself. Yet when she meets one face to face, he’s nothing like she expected…

Lalo Villalobos had a perfectly dull life until un vampiro turned him. Forced to flee his city, he heads to the pueblo where the first vampiro was made. But instead of finding a way to reverse his terrible curse, he collides with a beautiful young woman who’d gladly drive a dagger through is heart.

Fortunately, Lalo and Carolina share a common enemy. They can wipe out this evil, together. If his fangs and her fists can stay focused, they might just triumph and discover what it feels like to take a bite out of love.
