He woke up drenched in blood beneath a silver moon — half his reflection human, half a beast. Overnight, he became the impossible: a vampire and a werewolf bound in one cursed body. Each week, a new power awakens... and with it, a new hunger he can’t control. But power comes with a price. The vampire within craves blood; the wolf demands the moon. Caught between two raging instincts, he battles not only monsters in the shadows but the one growing inside him. And when love finds him — fragile, forbidden, human — it threatens to break what little control he has left. As his humanity slips away, a darker truth begins to surface: the “gift” he received was never meant to save him. It was meant to awaken something far worse.

When Ethan, a cynical college student with a sharp wit and an even sharper sense of self-preservation, finds himself stalked by a mysterious stranger, he assumes it’s just another weirdo from campus. But when that stranger turns out to be Lucien, a proud, clueless young vampire prince on his first hunt, Ethan’s life is turned upside down—literally and figuratively. Lucien, hailing from an ancient European bloodline, has crossed the seas to “experience the human world.” Unfortunately, his regal arrogance doesn’t quite translate well in modern society. He’s hungry, haughty, and utterly inexperienced at survival without servants. His mission? Find a human donor whose blood is as pure as it is sweet. His problem? He found Ethan. But Ethan isn’t about to play the victim. When Lucien demands to feed, Ethan—ever the pragmatist—proposes a deal: “You want my blood? Earn it.” From wiping tables to washing dishes, the vampire prince finds himself trapped in a bizarre barter system. Every drop of Ethan’s blood comes with a price—and every chore teaches Lucien a little more about humility, humanity, and maybe, something dangerously close to affection. Their domestic chaos only deepens as Lucien, now hiding out in Ethan’s home, begins to blur the lines between predator and partner. He hogs the bed, raids Ethan’s computer, and insists on being addressed as “Your Highness.” Yet beneath the bickering and black humor lies a slow, irresistible pull neither can deny. Meanwhile, a series of gruesome murders sweep through West City, each victim drained of blood. As suspicion grows, Ethan begins to wonder if the naive vampire he’s harboring is as harmless as he seems—or if something darker is awakening within Lucien. And when Lucien’s powerful brother, Leo, arrives to bring him back, Ethan must face an impossible choice: surrender the vampire who has stolen his peace—and perhaps his heart—or risk everything to protect him. A clever twist on the paranormal romance genre, Sheltering a Vampire Boyfriend blends sharp banter, slow-burn intimacy, and gothic intrigue. It’s a tale of a sarcastic human who refuses to play prey, and a royal vampire who learns that love, not blood, is the most intoxicating addiction of all. Funny, dark, and unexpectedly tender, this story explores what happens when two creatures from different worlds—one human, one immortal—discover that true connection might be the most dangerous temptation of all.
