Bite Me,
Billionaire
A Paranormal Romance Novel
She hired a fake boyfriend for her sister's wedding. He's been alive for 257 years. Neither of them planned on falling in love.
The Story
Poppy Gable's life looks perfect on camera. A million followers. Brand deals stacking up. A smile that never cracks—at least, not where anyone can see. But behind the ring light, she's broke, exhausted, and freshly dumped by an ex who's now marrying someone who does tantric yoga.
So when her sister's destination wedding demands a plus-one, Poppy does the only logical thing: she hires one. Enter Julian Blackthorne—impossibly handsome, impossibly rich, and hiding a secret that's two and a half centuries old.
Four days in the Bahamas. One fake relationship. A family that asks too many questions. And a truth that could shatter everything—because Julian isn't just mysterious. He's not even human.
You see me. Not the influencer. Not the performance. You see the mess underneath, and you choose to stay anyway.— Poppy

"I'm probably making a huge mistake. But I'd rather make it with my eyes open."
