Be Still My Unbeating Heart

Bastian may be a vampire, but he doesn’t bite—anymore. He’s just trying to live his best undead life: sightseeing through Italy with his magical talking cat, Whitby, and maybe flirting with a cute boy or two.

Then a body turns up on the beach, seemingly drained by a vampire. It wasn’t Bastian. He swears—on his own grave. But the local police chief isn’t convinced and assigns the infuriatingly handsome detective Nico De Luca to watch him until his trial.

With the Vampire Council on their way and more victims appearing, Bastian, Whitby, and Nico must unmask the real killer before the whole town is gone—fangs, flirting, and all.

Be Still My Unbeating Heart sank its fangs into me from page one… and honestly? I’d let it bite again. Josh Winning delivers a wickedly charming mystery that’s as delightful and swoony as it is deadly. Romance readers won’t be able to help falling under the spell of Bastian and Nico. Trust me, you’ll want to book a seaside getaway just to watch them flirt!
