Beau and the Blood Fairies Tell Book

He’s not a monster. He’s a man with rules.When archivist Beau D’Alba takes a ten-day job cataloging a crumbling seaside manor, he expects dust, receipts, and a cranky client. He doesn’t expect Lycan Valerius—a private, careful vampire who has survived by starving his wants—and a house that tightens or eases its halls in response to the truth.The town wants a spectacle. Beau and Lycan choose each other instead: small-scale, consent-first, ordinary on purpose. A drone at the window, a rumor at the diner, a “safety” meeting that feels like stagecraft—pressure rises as the equinox festival approaches and the whole coast comes looking for a beast. What they find is a pair of men setting better rules: ask, check, stop, choose.This is a Beauty & the Beast reimagining with no captivity, no taming—just two adults building a life that fits. When love arrives, it’s not a curse lifted; it’s a practice kept. The mirror seam thins, the porch fills with neighbors, and the house learns to keep promises.Perfect for readers who love: tender bite scenes with real consent, haunted houses with logic, slow-burn devotion, and small towns that learn.Tropes & hooks you can quote:Beauty & the Beast–inspired queer vampire romance Consent-core intimacy (ask / check / stop / choose) Cozy gothic: haunted house that rewards honesty Grumpy/steady immortal × competent sunshine Small-town pressure vs. private truth A turning pact—love as a negotiated future HEA energy: domestic, warm, earned
