Vampyre Hypothesis

Dr. Elizabeth Ramsey never imagined saving a patient would be so dangerous.

As a medical examiner, dead bodies are a part of her job. When a severely burned corpse with a sharp pair of fangs arrives on her autopsy table—alive—Beth discovers he is a creature the world doesn’t believe exists.

She faces an impossible choice: turn him over to be studied or nurse him back to health in secret.

Nursing him back to health, and searching for the cause of his affliction, will place her in the middle of a centuries-old feud between a powerful and ruthless ancient vampire and her patient.

Will her patient be grateful, or decide she’s lunch?

Will saving him cost her everything?

If you like strong female leads, sexy vampires, slow-burn romance, and a little mad science, this dark urban fantasy book is for you.
