When a vampire shows up at your door bleeding what else can you do but invite them in? A naive vampire with a sweet tooth and a kind scientist trying to overcome his mistakes by protecting the one person worth the risk.
From the blurb:
When a vampire test subject from the lab shows up at my doorstep moments before sunrise, I have two choices: Let him die or let him in.
Dr. Rupert Martin works in a covert lab that’s experimenting with hybrid, test-tube vampires. If he’d known of their diabolical mission, he never would’ve agreed to work for them. But now he knows too much for them to let him go.
Sullivan, aka vampire Specimen 19, barely escapes his underground prison with his life. Gravely injured and with the sun about to rise, he has nowhere else to turn but to the one doctor who showed him kindness instead of cruelty.
While Ru and Sully navigate a dangerous path forward, an unexpected attraction blooms between them. Their chemistry won’t be denied. Can they take down the very lab that brought them together, or are they barreling fangs-first toward an inevitable disaster?

Sullied is a gay vampire romance featuring a touch-starved young vampire with a tragic past, his generous but fearful savior, a hidden cabin in the woods, a few different first times, and a vampire with a sweet tooth. It’s a standalone novel with no cliffhanger and a guaranteed happily ever after!

Standalone. Paranormal. Close proximity. Slow burn. Dual POV.
Ru is trying to find a way to leave his job at an unethical secret laboratory when one of the vampire subjects/captives shows up on his doorstep bleeding and asking for help. Sully planned his escape and asking the only kind human at the lab to help him makes sense, but his crush can’t get in the way of his need for revenge.
This story has a sweet, innocent vampire finding comfort with a kindhearted scientist as they try to hide from the people that have hurt Sully in the past. With Sully’s naivete and Ru’s willingness to protect Sully, there is a sweet fall into feelings and hope for a future together that kept me smiling. I appreciated Ru’s hesitancy to take advantage of Sully and also how Sully has a maturity in knowing his own mind. I would have loved more about the found family of secondary characters, but overall really enjoyed Ru and Sully’s love story.
Sweet little vampire book. I really love the 'show up on doorstep...' trope. There's some action, there's some swoon, and oh look, there's a cute little rat. I would love to read a story about big brother, he seems like an interesting character.
