"Will a vampiress be able to convince a vampire in human clothing to embrace his animal side?"

Research doctor Matthew Winter has a secret. Adopted into the Winter family as a baby, he is a vampire. He has never come across other of his kind, so he's taken aback when he meets his adopted sister's friend, Dulcie. He knows she's a vampire, but his work in blood diseases is more important to him than sex. Or is it?

Artist and free spirit Dulcie has set her sights on Matthew. She longs to bring out the beast in him that lurks beneath his human veneer. Will Matthew learn to accept who he is, both man and beast? And when he does, will his jealousy drive Dulcie away?

Short, but definitely not sweet, THE BLOOD DOCTOR is set in Ms. Hill's universe of Original, Immaculate, and hybrid vampires. Fangs and claws are used both as weapons and sexual aids. This quickie is not for the gentle reader. But if you love vampiric sex with blood and fangs, give THE BLOOD DOCTOR a try. You'll find yourself drawn into Ms. Hill's unusual world.
