The vampire with the dragon tattoo

Dougal Kincaid is a vampire with a point to prove. A battle with the Malcontents, a faction of vampires who want to rule the world, has left his hand injured, and he wants to return to active duty guarding unsuspecting mortals from them. Before that can happen, he has to master his own reactions.

The trouble starts when he sees Leah, a doctor and scientist. Around her his injured hand behaves oddly, and the dragon tattoo on his skin burns with a hot sensation he cannot explain.

Leah does not believe in vampires. Then several of them stand in front of her, one in a kilt, and ask for her help with a genetic puzzle that could save mankind. Her scientific doubts give way to a practical question: whether she can trust Dougal, and the strong attraction she feels as soon as she looks at him.

This is a paranormal romance with a light, playful tone. The story rests on the push and pull between a wounded warrior who is itching to fight and a rational scientist who is pulled into his world.
