Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A laugh-out-loud vampire romance where a centuries-old reclusive immortal gets dragged to a romance convention by his stubborn human editor—codpiece mishaps and pillow-weapon fights included.

Synopsis

When the stories of a vampire who is writing the biographies of his kin are mistaken for romances, the vampire's publisher forces him to go to a romance convention-;where he finds a romance of his own.

At a Glance

Lynsay Sands at her comedic best—Single White Vampire leans hard into the absurdity of a 600-year-old vampire navigating the modern publishing world. The fish-out-of-water humor carries the book, with Lucerns bewildered grumpiness playing perfectly off Kates relentless optimism. Best read when you want something light and funny that still delivers genuine romantic chemistry. The Romantic Times convention scenes are peak comedy.
