What price does a vampire have to pay to feel safe?

All Leonard Badrick wants is to get out of Oakmouth and find a place where he doesn't have to fear for his life every single day. Somewhere he can live without the threat of his neighbors telling on him. He hopes that place is the community in Myrfolk, if only he can get Gertrude to agree to take him in.

Lynx Kot is a former blood slave. Last summer, the Myrfolk community saved him from the cage he and three other shifters were kept in. He's been living with them since then, but he isn't sure community life is for him. He's contemplating hitting the road when a vampire he's never seen before places beehives near his favorite tree.

Leonard is willing to do whatever it takes for a ticket out of Oakmouth, but when Lynx realizes Gertrude is taking advantage of his desperation, something ignites inside of him. He might not be a fan of vampires, but he knows what it's like to live in fear, and if Leonard isn't going to stand up for himself, then Lynx will. Someone has to, right?



According to Holly Day, no day should go by uncelebrated and all of them deserve a story. If she'll have the time to write them remains to be seen. She lives in rural Sweden with a husband, four children, more pets than most, and wouldn't last a day without coffee.



Holly gets up at the crack of dawn most days of the week to write gay romance stories. She believes in equality in fiction and in real life. Diversity matters. Representation matters. Visibility matters. We can change the world one story at the time.
