Why Read This?

A cozy supernatural romance where healing happens through terrible tea, dad jokes, and a werewolf who refuses to let a prickly vampire stay alone

Synopsis

Kit’s vampiric creator is dead, but he’s still running from the nightmares. On one full moon in the little Scottish town Kit calls his own, he crosses paths with an annoyingly attractive werewolf who won’t leave him alone. Kit’s spent decades alone, but solitude is no longer preferable when faced with Quin’s insistently sweet and caring nature. After experiencing heartbreak, Quin left his pack behind for a fresh start. He wasn’t looking for romance, so he certainly wasn’t expecting his beast to latch on to the irresistible-smelling vampire with sharp fangs and a sharper tongue. So begins a supernatural courtship full of dad(dy) jokes, terrible cups of tea, late-night dog walks, and battles with the local vampire nest. When Kit’s nightmares bleed into the real world, they threaten more than just Kit and Quin’s budding relationship. To have a future together, they’ll need to return to where Kit’s story began all those years ago. Their survival instincts might have kept them safe until now, but even that might not be enough when facing the ghosts of Kit’s past. Survival Instinct is an MM paranormal romance between a prickly vampire and his kind-hearted werewolf. Set on the East Coast of Scotland, Survival Instinct features a sweet love story against a dark and kinky background, along with some familiar faces.
