My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine
Amelia Collins is happy in her life and loves her job as an accountant, well except for that one client who can’t figure out how to give her the information she asks for to help them with their non-profit. Reginald Cleaves is a vampire who has been trying to keep a low profile, while standing out in his flamboyant fashion set, because The Collective is trying to kill him due to an accident over 100 years ago. The two literally run into each other outside of Amelia’s office and of course because this is a rom-com they can’t stop thinking about each other, find each other again and agree to fake date each other so Amelia can have a date for her cousin’s wedding. Of course they fall in love, have some miscommunication about Reginald being a vampire, and then Amelia scares the crap out of The Collective and get them to realize Reginald is not the killer they imagine him to be. Fans of My Roommate is a Vampire will be happy to read this story and excited that there will be a third book coming out soon (Road Trip with a Vampire)
