Coming soon: Brought Back to Life by My Nemesis · Evelyn is Harbor City’s finest vampire hunter, while Lorenzo is a vampire criminal who has topped the bounty list for years. When two people like that meet, it seems impossible to avoid a fight. Yet after half a year of bloody clashes and pursuit, Evelyn wakes in an unfamiliar mansion and locks eyes with Lorenzo, seated beside her bed. “Welcome to Paradise,” says the black-haired, red-eyed vampire, leaning down to kiss her hair. The spot where his fangs pierced her hours ago throbs with a burning sting. Question: What’s it like living with your nemesis? Evelyn: It’s a luxurious old mansion with a history of four hundred years. There’s plenty of room to fight without worrying about wrecking the place. The nearest neighbor is an hour’s walk away, which rules out pointless socializing. My roommate can’t cook at all, so I handle my own meals and get reimbursed for groceries. There are two cats. Apart from the fact that my roommate tends to start kissing and biting me halfway through our fights, it’s been pretty good overall. Lorenzo: It’d be even better if you broke that bad habit of pulling a silver knife out from under your pillow and stabbing me in the heart every night when you go to bed :) · I want to destroy you, devour you, kiss you; Murderous intent, hunger, love: they all have the same name: ■■■ * Originally titled Wicked Romance * Powerful leads, vampire hunter vs. vampire, neither protagonist is a good person * Please see the author’s note in Chapter One before reading * Completed sweet stories set in the same world: The Mentor’s Melancholy, A Familiar’s Ambition, The Hunter’s Devotion * Cover commissioned; character cards made with Picrew Silhouette Maker and Silhouette Maker 2, by Masaki “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”, Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights -Coming soon: Brought Back to Life by My Nemesis- I have a nemesis everyone in the industry recognizes. We can’t stand each other. If there’s a bounty mission, it’s either me without him or him without me. But who could have guessed that I’d end up teaming up with that guy? Well, the client is paying an unbelievable amount. The mission is worthy of the huge reward, and the team is an all-star lineup to match: Break into a biotech conglomerate’s lab and steal a secret resurrection drug. Before the mission, I remind myself to stay on guard. Knowing that guy, he might stab his teammates in the back as soon as we have the goods and run off with the whole reward. Things go wrong during our retreat after the job is done. The result is that I die. My last memory is of my nemesis’s face rushing toward me. Maybe it’s a hallucination brought on by blood loss, but he looks shocked and furious, as if he can’t believe I’d dare die before him. Tch. Even in death, he won’t leave me alone. What rotten luck. When I open my eyes again, I’m lying in a place that looks like a laboratory. There are marks of an IV injection on my arm, and the air reeks of blood. There’s also an empty vial tipped over beside me. I take a closer look: Isn’t this the resurrection drug?! I look up in shock and unexpectedly meet someone’s eyes. My nemesis is sitting on a nearby lab table, twirling a syringe in his hand and staring at me without a word. * The main story is told in third person Theme: Love comes in many forms, and kindred souls can be found across species
