"If you want to prove yourself, then bleed for me."

Diego refuses to see themselves as their society's monster. Since fleeing their hometown—and the high school sweetheart who spurned their fangs—a decade ago, they've found a new home with the staff of a sensual role play club that creates fantasies for vampire-human couples. Working as the temporary stand in for humans with no vampire of their own, impassioned romance now seems like a thing of the past.

That is, until Diego's traitorous high school flame reappears in a storm of drama, claiming he's finally ready to earn their forgiveness—in whatever way Diego demands of him.

The man now trying to woo them back isn't quite the one they remember; he's aggressively forthright, persistently self-sacrificing, and strong in ways Diego could never have fathomed. But his sudden re-emergence comes just as the club is under threat, and any good thing might just be too good to be true.

Explore the wider world of the Guides for Dating Vampires series with this standalone novella set in Los Angles in the 90s, where a fiery sub/dom second chance romance blooms between the transmasc-NB/M couple.

Contains mature themes.

I have listened to all of the Guide to Dating Vampires series so far and I absolutely love this take on vampire fiction. Compared to the other books this one is shorter (which is understandable given that it's the first in the series) but I really wished it would have taken its time more with the story and let the characters more sit with the difficult emotions for longer, and not reach the resolution quite as fast as they did. All in all though this one book is probably my favorite after How to Win a Wager.
