When the Night Found You
In a city glowing with neon lights and hidden secrets, seventeen-year-old Santa has spent his entire life running from two things - the monster inside him and the cruel home that made him believe he was unlovable.
Half-human and half-vampire, Santa survives in the shadows, hiding his crimson eyes and unbearable hunger from the world. After escaping his abusive parents, he swears never to trust anyone again. Love, kindness, safety - those are things meant for other people, not for someone like him.
Then he meets Perth.
Born into a wealthy but loving family, Perth has always been surrounded by warmth, yet he quietly longs for something real beyond perfect appearances and expectations. So when he finds an injured stranger alone in the rain, he chooses compassion instead of fear.
What begins as a single act of kindness slowly becomes something deeper.
As Santa struggles to control his vampire instincts and the darkness hunting him from the shadows, Perth refuses to leave his side - even after discovering the terrifying truth about what Santa really is.
But love between a vampire and a human comes with a price.
Ancient enemies begin to close in. Blood secrets buried for years resurface. And Santa must decide whether protecting Perth means staying beside him... or disappearing before his cursed world destroys the only person he has ever loved.
Because sometimes, the night does not steal your heart.
Sometimes, it gives it back.
