Leather and Lace: Southern Gothic Series Book One

Dorian Villeneuve, an unlucky vampire from the slums of Devil's Row, makes ends meet for himself and his emotional support Chihuahua by working in sleazy bars and nightclubs, doing whatever it takes to get by. Cash Leroy, a monster hunter from East Texas with a golden voice and an unrivaled devotion to Stevie Nicks, finds that hunting leaves no time for friends, let alone love.

When their paths cross during a bloody run-in with the vampire mob, Cash upends Dorian's life and takes him under his wing to teach him how to hunt monsters. The unlikely pair become partners and soon, best friends. However, their deepening bond grows complicated when Dorian falls in love with Cash. Their friendship is too important to throw away over an interspecies attraction, especially in a career that is already nasty, brutish, and short. Things become even more complicated when Cash finds himself returning the vampire's affections.

As an unusually deadly case lands in the hunters' laps, a pair of man-eating weredeer are on the loose, taking victims' hearts. With the pressure on to end the killing spree, Dorian and Cash must set aside their feelings and hunt down the blood-thirsty deer. Can Dorian and Cash's friendship survive this monstrous romance, or will they lose their hearts in the process?

Falling in love with a vampire bites—and sometimes loving a human bites back. Originally seen in the Eisner-nominated TWISTED ROMANCE anthology from IMAGE COMICS, this is the full-length adaptation of the critically acclaimed short story.
