Stake Me If I'm Wrong - Alyssa Mullins

In the enchanting town of Darkwater, Beau Drewitt has carved out a quiet life as the charming owner of a small bookstore, where the scent of old paper and whispered stories keep him company through his endless, lonely nights.

Beau has long since convinced himself that any love interest would be much better off without his particular brand of supernatural baggage - until he meets Elowen.

Elowen Briar is a therapist devoted to healing the traumas of her clients, but who pushes her own loneliness to the side. When fate intertwines her life with Beau's, she finds herself inexplicably drawn toward the enigmatic bookstore owner, blissfully unaware that her meet-cute may come with fangs and a body count.

As Beau grapples with his growing obsession and the realization that Elowen is his mate, he must confront more than his own demons - he must protect Elowen from Kalevala, a ruthless vampire who has set her sights on him and refuses to take no for an answer.

Keeping Elowen safe might be the hardest thing Beau has ever done, but resisting the urge to keep her at arm's length is a close second.

Stake Me If I'm Wrong is a slow-burn dark rom-com with a paranormal twist that dives deep into trauma, redemption, and the questionable life choices that come with falling in love while undead.
