Fangs for Nothing by Steffanie Holmes (Paperback)

He’s a hot, grumpy, reclusive vampire, and the last thing he wants is an interfering human tidying his castle, until her. Fangs for Nothing is the first book in Steffanie Holmes’s kooky, spooky series The Nevermore Murder Club and Smutty Book Coven.

Lord Alaric Valerian has a rather large problem. His mother is visiting his castle for the very first time, and she has no idea that Alaric has filled every last room with centuries’ worth of artistic passions and creative pursuits. Desperate, he hires professional organiser Winnie Preston to help him tame the chaos.

But Alaric isn’t remotely prepared for bubbly, passionate Winnie to sweep into his castle and ram a metaphorical stake straight through his cold vampire heart. She sets his fangs on edge, yet the more closely they work together, the more he finds himself wishing she could be his. So when his mother arrives with a prospective bride in tow, Alaric convinces Winnie to pose as his fiancée, scandalising the vampire court in the process.

There’s just one catch: Winnie still has no idea Alaric is a vampire. And he certainly didn’t count on her meddling book club pinning him as the prime suspect in a mysterious village murder.

Perfect for readers who love a paranormal fake-dating romance, a broody vampire and a sunshine heroine, with plenty of murder, mystery, meddling book-club antics and endless cups of tea.
