Vampire Hero romance books

Centuries old, achingly lonely, and undone by one mortal heartbeat.

The vampire hero is romance's most enduring supernatural seducer. Immortal, elegant, and dangerous, he carries the weight of centuries — the lovers he's outlived, the darkness he's learned to control, the hunger that never fully sleeps. The fantasy is intoxicating: being desired by a being of impossible age and power who's chosen you, fragile and fleeting, above everything.

He's a paranormal-romance icon, from gothic brooding aristocrats to modern urban-fantasy enforcers. The romance often turns on the gulf between his immortality and her mortality, and on whether love can survive what he is. He overlaps with the brooding, dark, and tortured types, and the heat runs from sensual to explicit.

For readers who love immortal longing, gothic atmosphere, and a hero with fangs and a soul, the vampire is eternal.
