Birth of the Vampire (The Vanderlind Realm Book 1)

The Vanderlind Realm series

Seventeen-year-old Haley has few friends and a quiet, lonely life in a little town, where she lives under the care of her uncle. She is convinced hardly anyone would notice if she disappeared. Across the divide between the living and the undead, a vampire named Dorian Vanderlind carries a past he would rather keep buried. He arrives to visit his cousin, a favor he agrees to reluctantly, and soon finds the pleasures and temptations of the human world pulling at him more than he expected.

When these two are drawn together under complicated circumstances, neither can predict where it will lead. Haley, who has no patience for the supernatural, and Dorian, who has long kept his distance from people, must confront what they each believe about themselves. This is the first book in The Vanderlind Realm series.
