Bite At First Sight. Scandals With Bite, #3

She chose the wrong night to go graverobbing.  Rafael Villar, interim Lord Vampire of London, has an avalanche of problems. First, the vampire hunter he'd caught in the cemetery was no vampire hunter. It was Lady Cassandra Burton, the vexing countess who'd pestered him social events. She'd only meant to steal a cadaver for her relentless quest to become a doctor. In a stroke of bad luck, Rafe is unable to erase Cassandra's memory of their encounter.
He has no choice but to take her prisoner, under vampire law. The Elders give him thirty nights to decide whether to kill her or Change her. For reasons he can't reveal, Rafe can't do either. Despite being imprisoned by a monstrously scarred vampire, Cassandra isn't afraid of Rafe. In fact, she insists on experimental operations on his bad arm, rendered useless from being burned by the sun. Undone by her passion and beauty, Rafe agrees to a trade.
For each experiment, she must give him something he's never dared ask for since before he was burned: A kiss. As time trickles down to the hour Rafe must solve his impossible dilemma to spare the life of the woman he's falling for, another vampire is using his distraction to foment an insurrection. Subgenres: regency romance, paranormal romance, regency vampire romance, gothic paranormal romance, historical paranormal romance, victorian vampire romance Tropes: forbidden romance, angsty, alpha hero, vampire hero, grumpy romance, grumpy hero, kidnapped romance, grumpy sunshine, age gap romance, nerd girl, scarred hero, beauty and the beast romance
