My Heartbeat Undercover: My Vampire CEO
READING AGE 4+
New York City's richest man, Julian Blackwood, is the cold ruler of an AI empire—and a vampire who has wandered the human world alone for 120 years. He suppresses his bloodlust with synthetic blood, using a sharp tongue and icy indifference to keep the entire world at a distance.
Until one late night, a girl who realizes she's been given a few dollars too little comes sprinting out of a convenience store to get her change back—and crashes straight into him.
One second later, a flowerpot falls from above and shatters exactly where they had been standing.
Lily Wilson is the most unremarkable young police officer in Downtown. Because she accidentally saves the city's richest man, her superiors select her for an undercover mission: get close to Julian and investigate his company for financial crimes.
Wearing a hidden earpiece and nervously following her orders, Lily somehow blurts out, “I do.” in front of Julian.
He responds by flying a hundred kilometers just to take her out for a bowl of seafood noodles.
At the three-way intersection, they watch an electric train rumble overhead—and Julian's heart pounds three times.
But when love collides with duty, and the vampire's secret is exposed at the same time as the undercover officer's true identity, the two must use the sincerity of their hearts to prove one thing:
Some heartbeats are powerful enough to cross species, identity, and even the boundary between life and death.
This is a modern urban fantasy romance about a lovably clueless girl crashing headfirst into a perpetually grumpy vampire CEO.

The wall clock mounted above the bullpen entrance ticked steadily, its black hands pointing to ten o'clock sharp.
Inside the precinct, the morning rush was fully under way.
Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting a bright glare across rows of cluttered desks.
Every phone seemed to be ring……
Waiting for the first comment……
