A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together - against their better judgment - to rid the world of monsters. Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Zorro meets Pride and Prejudice in this irresistible romantic fantasy.

TAKE A BITE OUT OF LOVE.

Carolina Fuentes wants to join her family in hunting the bloodthirsty vampiros that plague her pueblo and prove she'll be a better slayer than wife, so she vows to take down a monster herself. But when she runs into a vampiro that is somehow extremely attractive and kind, her plan crumbles.

Lalo Villalobos was content leading a perfectly dull life until a vampiro turned him. Now forced to flee his city, he heads to the pueblo where he believes the first vampiro was made. Instead of finding salvation, Lalo collides with a beautiful young woman who'd gladly drive a dagger through his heart.

Can her fists and his fangs stay focused long enough triumph over their common enemy, or will their hatred for one another get in the way?

A fledgling vampire and a headstrong vampire huntress must work together - against their better judgment - to rid the world of monsters in this irresistible romantic fantasy.
